Hi bibby,

Check the service history on the bike and how often it was used then go from there.


Welcome to the site

MM!

[bibby]

thanks mate ive just bought some carb gauges to balance them myself, im quite handy with tools and cars, hope bikes are around the same lol

[bibby]

here is my bike when i bought it guys



just made two mods up to now as i didnt like the 400 sign i changed it to ninja, plus got green around the wheels
on this picture you can also see my bmw convert



next on my list is to change the horrible looking back reflector and licence plate light, im going to use led's to light the licence plate up and modify the reflector to the bottom of the licence plate. thanks

I wouldn't , she might fess up you've been using the back passage then your out the closet !

Bikes looking well tidy Got to bin that zorst as top priority though

I have a lovely Over racing that would look da bomb on it

That's an SP shock wether it be J or M - well worth having it serviced BTW

haha im not sure what shock it was? what is a sp shock? plus have you got any pics of your exhaust? i want a new one anyway

[Mori Man]

SP shock has three way adjustment on it:

a) Pre-load , the adjuster ring above the spring
b) Compression damping , 4 way adjuster at bottom of damper rod
c) Rising rate , set at remote res' - think it has 12 clicks

Set these up right and the back end will be like on rails

If it's never been serviced then new seals , bushes , oil & gas will transform it - should be done every couple of years to keep peak performance.

[bibby]

thanks mate ill do that once i pass my test ill get it serviced

welcome to the forum, nice tidy ZXR!

[bibby]

as i hate the look of the reflector on the back ive fabricated it to make it smaller and molded it to the same shape but smaller, got led's for the reg light, fitting it all this week end, pics to show progress thanks everyone
