Hello from manchester

Post by quickz »

Hey there, I found your site while googling something for my bike, so I had a good look around and hey presto a bunch of guys and girls who like ZXR's too :smt004
I'm from the manchester area, so If there's members in the north area ( which it looks like there is anyway) thats cool :smt003 . I own a ZXR400-L5 1997 which I've had for 5 months now, straight from passing my test ( after selling my beloved 125 ). Fantastic bike, every time I get it out of the garage the 'big grin' comes.
Since owning it I've spent about £550 getting it right, since the previous owner seemed to enjoy cleaning it, just not servicing it. I've been down south to the coast and touring london on it which might I add was a good experience, soon going to wales on it for a few days which should be fun ( if weather permits :smt001 ).

Here's a few pics of it, unfornuately with myself on it( make sure your monitors don't crack :smt005 ).

Finally a place I can get good advice on my bike too :smt004 .

yeah not seen lights like that on a zxr400 for a while, just a bit of vinyl sticker is it? or is it painted? welcome to the forum anyway and you're in the right place to learn about them.
Don't forget people there is more to the zxr400 than this forum... check out www.zxrworld.co.uk also.

If it's broke spray it with WD40, if it's still broke spray it again and leave it over night, if it's still broke, bin it.
