On a budget

There seems to be more and more members appearing that are racing the ZXR400 so i've created a special section just for you to show off results, discuss meets etc etc.

Fella, I know you'd like a list of shops selling all the parts you want but in reality this pretty little row of shops does not exist so you have to hunt the buggers down, and there is no better place than here to start your mooching.
Before your start lobbing cash willy nilly at the little fella I'd suggest that you get your front and rear suspension sorted, unless it's there already.

A rationilisation question I'd ask myself is - "am I faster than the bike or is the bike faster than me?" If it's the former and you are able to ride your bike to it's limit and the bike is now holding you back then start racing. If it's the latter then increasing it's power aint gonna help things.

Get a decent rear shock and the front re-valved and I guarantee that you will feel the difference, then and only then may you start purchasing BHP increasing goodies.
And as a tip, see if you can find a set of SP forks as they have additional adjustment.

Thats me, am out of knowledge now but I wish you a safe & successfull hunt in tracking down your quarry and dont forget to search this site...without this site i'd never have got what I have today and judging by my bank balance I wish I never had :pmsl

Can I suggest you consider fitting a turbo?

Or pay me £1000 a month and I'll build you what you want. Should be ready for Spring next year.

Lol!

I'm actually really annoyed by this fool, I offered to buy his bike and all his spares! Would have offered a sensible price if he'd have given me a rough idea what he wanted!

I was just getting ready to sell him parts at a 1000 a month, :pmsl :pmsl :pmsl
Ram air box, flat slides, SP forks, sp cams, forged pistons, he'd have to wait more than a month for those. :) He'd probably want the Marvic Mag front wheel with a nice set of rotors too, perfect for a street bike.
