First test ride today so just a short 15kms to see how things are.

CR box is super slick , well happy with that :smt004

Race CDI gives it another kick at 12K

Hammering it through the gears I saw 160kmh at 16k in 2nd and 190kmh at 15k in 3rd so no speed restriction there then :smt005

Although tyres aren't even scrubbed in they feel like they are lifting the tarmac off the road - stroll on the warmer weather :smt003

Oh, just before heading out fitted it up with new choke & throttle cables and have gone 50mm inside trumpets with 30mm outside.

Gearing is 17/45

its a first-gen exup, 1989.

so new is similar to here, if you happen to spot a decent second-hand set of fcr39's or 41's please drop me a PM...rare as hens teeth except brand new.

Absolutely lovely, would love to have one, or just take for a ride, 190kmh ~ 120mph, in third?! Mine does about 100, but yours is revving to 16000, is that just for the sp?

I have a race CDI fitted so redline is 15,300 just when I am hooning I forget to look at the clocks smiler

So after a good jaunt , the clocks stop at 190 so no idea what it will indicate but it's happy to rev out in top gear :smt004

On with the mph clocks after it's MOT

i cant find the specs :smt012 i'm a sad person so tried gearing commander, would love to get an sp box, would probably fix my bike jumping out of gear but thats another thread. what is the sp like compared to a normal zxr400 L? alot faster?

Never had a normal L so no idea , the whole feel of the bike is different from the J - is it better , can't say :smt017 Maybe when spring is in proper and I get hooning it around the mountain I'll get a more definitive answer :smt002

The J on a rolling road came up 161mph and took the needle well off the 160mph UK clocks I have :smt001

So today it flew through it's MOT and that's it got it's legals for the next 2yrs :excited

Some slight fettling to be done through the coming year :smt003

Always drool at your work mate lol
In comparison, how do you find riding the M over a J?

I rode a couple of L's but none seem to feel as nice as my H even though it's a touch heavier!
