new zxr owner
Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2012 11:01 pm
hi guys. ive had my zxr400 for 3 months now, and i love it.
its a black, purple and pink, 1993 L3. in pretty damn good condition, with only a few scratches on the body. the wheels have peeled, and the left side engine cover too, but thats an easy fix.
i had it put on the dyno a week after i got it, and with a cracked manifold with a big hole in it, and in bad need of a service, the bike made 60HP.
the exhaust has been replaced now, and its been serviced properly too, just waiting to balance the carbs and then it;ll be all sorted, and going back on the dyno. hoping for 62HP or so
the rear shock has gone a bit toad, but i do have a replacement. the original is going to be rebuilt and put back on, keeping the bike 100% original.
i need to set the bike up for me too, as its set up for a 16 stone woman at the moment lol. and im an 11 stone dude.
so far ive spent £2000 and im really happy with the bike.
i just need to improve my riding and confidence now, and ride the bike to its potential, which is way better than my skill level right now.
hoping to meet up for ride outs or something one day, ive never seen another zxr on the road here in st helens, so it'd be cool to see a few of them
i'll upload some pics soon too.
