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.
RobB and I did a bit of drag racing on or old zed's a few years back....was damn good fun.....the zxr is good off the line cause you can absolutely nail it and not worry about flipping it....but bigger bikes will catch up quick....I think my best 1/4 mile was something like 12.5 seconds.... I assume you doing this at santa Pod?
Fastest i got was 12.3 i believe, at about 105mph. But yeah great fun, just that feeling of the lights straging, going from orange to green, then bang! Away you go! Proper gets ya heart rate up with adrenaline!
1st ever run = 103.1mph - 13.07
2nd run = 105.3mph - 14.48
unfortunately on the 2nd run I started the timer before I started
I was 'hoping' for 14's, never imagined I'd be soooooooooooo close to the 12's
But the bike had enough and when it went wrong, some mates spent nearly 2hrs sourcing the fault - we didnt really have a clue what it was, I just suggested it felt like no fuel was getting through so complete strip down of bike and then checking EVERYTHING that it could be. Very probably the fuel pump has packed up so going to try a new one and if that dont work then its off to the garage
could be something simple as the fuel filter blocked, i had a similar feeling on mine few months back and the filter was blocked with loadsa crap from the tank.
Don't forget people there is more to the zxr400 than this forum... check out www.zxrworld.co.uk also.
Definately the fuel pump that's packed up. Rather unusual but the filter was so full of crap it looked like it's never been changed Oh well, now I know how to remove petrol tank, check the system from the tank to the carbs and have renewed the filter. Just waiting for the pump to arrive and shall fit then fingers crossed she'll fire up. Only other thing it could be is the relay but everything has been checked and fuel pump is definately dead!
If all goes to plan I will now be racing @ Santa Pod on the 18th
fuel filters are 49p each when i wanted one i handed over a 5 er and he started giving me loads of changed, he excpalined only 49p i said keep change and just give me a load u can never have too many, he gave me 12
