how do all
hi yer,
lovely site here, stumbled across you whilst looking for zxr reviews, as i fancied one for after i pass my DAS.
as it happens, i couldnt bloody wait.....so ive just bught this one, and it arrives wednesday....2000 x reg, 3800 miles on the clock (uk bike) tax & mot till apr 06....stunning to be honest....so i shall be polishing her and getting familiar too until that day arrives whe i can wrap my legs around her and break her in, bestie stylie!
so.....just wanted to show me face as i know for a fact i shall have loads of questions for you all. currently i am peddaling around on a dt 125 which i must say i love, owned her from new 2002 and only covered 1100 dry miles, plus a little off roading (most fun, and ive found it teaches you alot about road riding......especially hitting loose gravel, and the back end fishtails!!) so ill be sorry to see her go come that beautifull DAS day....happy DAS day i shall hear you cry lol!
alos in besties garage of wonders we have a mini moto, yes its a cag crappy thing but loadsa fun, and a DR mini dirt bike, again, crap but loadsa fun, especially in little quarrys.....25mph feels like 50!!!
so...i shall now stop babbling cod s*it and sit back and watch you rip the crap outta my dream zxr ha ha. incidently i chose a 400 over a honda cbr600 cos i thought the 400 size and weight would be an advantage to me being 5" 7, and i wont kill myself just yet.....at least the missus is happoer with the zx, and ive just bought her a new liud, complete with inbuilt sunglasses!!!! looks seriously like a pilots helmut!
well, i will be flying on her one day
cheers all, and im pleased to meet you!

p.s how do i add an image off her for you all to see?[/img]

I can say from the heart they run okay in gravel might need to take a few psi out the tyres just seems to dig in on my bike
Grass is okay if it is dry cant get the hang of staying on in the wet might need to tweek the suspension Brands Hatch is the best place to try just before Clearways
Any help on these problems would be very good

cheers geezer MOI,
its pretty much imaculate, has been down on its right side, as there is a dent in the exhaust and scrtach on the front brake lever, but other than that its kosher!
everything standard cept exhaust which is a legal scorpion end can...biding for a seat cowl on ebay...any other ideas on how to smarten her up?
i was thinkin smaller winkies...but thats all so far...also, i need a new back tyre...any one know a good west yorkshire dealer, and good tyre?....
plus....i did a fair bit of research but not once did i read the 400 does NOT have a fuel gauge...just like me DT...oh well
should be in for my das again next month....im just riding round in circles gettin used to my u turns....and my gosh....i thought the DT was heavy but the zx is one fat lil bugger aint she!
just finished alarming the garage, although the bike is alarmed, and imobilised...2 heavy chains through wheel and swing arm to ground anchor...disc lock....chain through front wheel to rear of dt and chain through dt front weel....plus massive extra padlock on garage door....
a taliban tank would struggle to get in unnoticed and remove it..oh and me tranny van blocks the door too when im not using it...
thanks sooo much for your help and replies so far guys...tis very nice here!
