Hi all

Totally new to this forum stuff and the very first one i have joined. wasn't aware that I had to do a proper hello so apologies about that.

Already posted about my broken ZXR400 H2 1990. This was bought for me by my good lady as a gift for my 30th. It is a project which I am very excited about. My biking family have advised to break it make some money and get a running zxr to get on the road which is not going to happen. An absolute beauty and a childhood dream. don't want to break it. armed with my manual and limited knowledge and some money I want to make an A grade original come back to life.

Any advice or help would be appreciated. Pictures will be coming.

Thanks in advance guys and girls

I have done the same with my H1 nearly finished now, been doing it for about 18 months.

Well worth the time and effort.

Hello and welcome!

Hi Stephen,

Good luck on getting the bike sorted but do bear in mind that ZXRs are currently not worth a massive amount, even if mint, and especially not old ones. That's not to say you shouldn't bother but what you absolutely must do is work to a budget. Absolutely no point throwing £1500 at a bike which ends up worth £800 - you could have picked up the £800 bike fully sorted and ready to ride with no hassle.

If the engine is seriously wrecked it is unlikely to be worth repairing, much more economical and quicker to slot in a new one. Don't necessarily look for separate parts for your resto, strongly consider buying a cheap wrecked bike as a spares mule and stripping it for what you need. Something which has had a bad crash which has ruined forks / frame / fairing will probably sell for spare change but if the motor is sound you've got a swapover and a bargain. Once you start looking at buying more than a handful of largish OEM parts from the dealer the resto very quickly becomes a waste of money.

Anyway, I think we need pics!
