Just got back from collecting my lovely new 1992 Zxr400 and thought I'd sign up!!
So after passing my DAS 2 weeks ago I was umming and ahhing about what bike to get. Obviously being 24 and stupid and excited I was immediately looking at the usual 600 suspects (gsxr, r6, cbr,zxr) but after a lot of research and a few stern words from the Mrs I went back to the drawing board and fell in love with the old 400 zxr. To me this thing doesn't look dated and they look nice and big. I searched online but was struggling to find one in my rather small price range (baby on the way and wedding in august!) but whilst I was sat looking one popped up for £950 and I immediately rang him and arranged a viewing! Get my lovely mother to drive the 3 hour trip there and bless her having to watch me get to grips with my first sport bike along national speed limit roads!! I made it though and loved every minute of it. The only downside is the bike managed to rip a hole in my boxers (WTF).
She's a bit rough around the edges and there is only 2 problems that I'm aware of:
1- Right indicator flashes slowly and the left ones stay on completely (flicking the switch repeatedly got me home safe lol). After some research I think it's the indicator relay which I cannot find for the life of me. Under the seat apparently? All I can spot is the battery a fuse/junction box and a couple of plugs? Have a better look in the morning.
2- The second one is a bit odd. The bike starts fine but idles really high at like 2.5k. Now if I leave it in first and let the clutch out slowly until the revs die down it will sit where.it should (1.7k) I believe, but, as soon as I even look at the throttle the idles rise again? I cannot locate the idle screw for the life of me! I'm told it's under the tank on the left hand side? Like a plastic screw thing but I have a feeling the fairing isn't original as I can't find it!
Maybe it's been a long day and both these things are right in front of me!
Hopefully there's a couple of pictures of her (using my phone) and I hope to be an active friendly member of the forum!
