hello guys and gals

been long time lurking on here as a guest and av finally joined, so here i am, and great site peeps

ive just bought a zxr400 l model on a l reg, and its a fantastic bike, needs a bit of tlc, to get it the way a want it (been standing around for a year or so ), but am quite willing to put the work and money into it ( well not too much money lol), and al take some pics of it later and get them posted up

been passed my test since 3 years ago ow, and this is the first bike ive had since then, and can honselty say this is an ideal 1st bike for me

ive got a couple of quereies on my bike itself, and me not been the most knowledgeable when it comes to mechanics or bikes for that matter, could do with a helping hand to make a better bike

so cheers thats me, thanks in advance

cheers dyna

cheers guys for the reponses

am a complete newbie when it comes to zxrs so a warn you all now for future incase i ask any dumb questions

hey robb quality bike mate, love the tail unit as well, how much did that set you back ?

It set me back 120 quid from ebay, they dont come up often but its a proper kawasaki SP seat unit from an SP model ZXR, none of this shoddy aftermarket stuff

They come up now and again, i saw two units on ebay not long after i bought mine, one was 50 quid, another 30, neither of them sold

If id had the money i would have bought them both!

but she will be worth it

What colour scheme has it got?

You can get aftermarket items for about 100 quid but you gotta pay to have it painted. Plus you need to cut it to fit the seat and lights. Also i found they didnt fit very well as i used to have one. The kwak unit is already cut for you and it fits aswell.

My bike cost me a small fortune! I spent 2K buying it and spent 2.5K doing it up, all thats left now is basically to paint it, plan was to have that done this summer but thats not looking likely unfortunately, but the wait will definately be worth it! Once paint work is done im starting on the engine!
