H Model???????
Hi guys,
I've just bought a ZXR400 job lot and need some help? I want to build a new track bike and was wondering what are the major differences between a H and L model. I have a L5 at the moment. The bike I have just got is a H model (F reg) so it is very old.
I've noticed a few differences about the frame and the fairing I have been given seems very odd and does not look like any of the H or L models that I've seen on here?
Thanks Ciaran

Re: H Model???????
Will do mate dont really know how to put any up tho!!!
The front frame on the L model has two holes where some of the cables go through yet my H model frame has none. Plus is the rear frame all one piece on the H model?

Re: H Model???????
yep, subframe one peice, frame has no hole in headstock for cables, they have to go underneith, the H has a frame strut that go's across the middle, just behind the carbs, the L does not. Also the L maybee slightly wider.

A ZX400
http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/ ... 3%2088.htm
The H and L models
http://zxrworld.co.uk/zxr400oc/viewtopi ... =69&t=3612
As you can see 3 very different bikes. I think the motor however, is the same, everything else is different.
p.s. ive edited the frame number out, you really dont wanna go posting that around!

Re: H Model???????
Clever cheers guys, had a bit of an idea it was not a ZXR.
Was wondering if it was still possible to put a ZXR400 engine in or ZX6R one in?
I know there are probably some differences but it is like a ZXR400? If anyone can point us in th right direction as i want to make this into another track bike! or should i cut my losts and sell all???

Re: H Model???????
as rob said, the engines are the same. it may also share the frame with the H model ZXR - certainly looks like it to me.
however i'd hazard a guess that it doesn't handle as well as either flavour of ZXR.

Re: H Model???????

Just have to compare a few things with my own ZXR400 and this model to see what i can get away with.
Thanks for the help guys bit of a relief now, i can start reading up on the ZX400.
