First bike, '96 ZXR 400!

Post by BinsAreForBombs »

Hi, this was my 21st present (very lucky lad!) Got this a while ago (Aug 2012) but only just got it on the road! So happy with it. Only had to change the tensioner blade on it and change the oil. It's a UK de-restricted model.

Nice. What are the rearsets off of? Welcome to the forum.

Looks nice. Got any plans, or are you keeping it as is?

Cheers!

The rear sets are from a friends old track zxr. Haven't a clue what make they are though? With the master cylinder being mounted on the side I had to use the HRC tube which I'm looking into neatening up.

It has an ART exhaust which is scratched and has no baffle and as they don't make them any more it's hard to find one. So I'm gunna get a new can first. Then some stubby levers and I'm looking into digital dash boards, but tbh I'm happy with it as it is. We paid nothing for it in the condition it was in so seems silly to spend a fortune on it. Especially as they're appreciating in value recently.

They are GBmoto rearsets. How do you change gear with it angled like that?!

I'm only 5ft 5, so when I'm tucked they're just about right. Even when I'm cruising too tbh. I like having a more aggressive riding position biggrin
