Need some help restoring the zxr
pics for you pic lovers
thats the 91 zxr400 and the 2000 buell x1 lightning
Ok and here is the problem
FIRST!
WIll not rev over 8800 or so RPM. It has a little black box that says M Max on it or somethin glike that by the dash. I want all 14000 RPMs. tell me how to do it please and what to buy and ill do it!
Second
How tdo i adjust the carbs to elan it out. They are WAYYYYYYYY too rich, like i can smell gas hardcore in the exhaust.
Once i fix the richness problem and get a new battery, i need new rear fairings and the air tubs ....anyone know where to get those that will ship to a US military APO address lol?
anyways, hel on the carb issue would be great. i tried to find the screw illustrated in the manual and i couldnt find it, pics or videos woudl be great!

robB is the expert on the restrictors, can anyone else shed a light on this? i believe if you unplug this you have to plug in a deristrictor box (pm gemini if you need one).

if i destrict it can i get to 14,000 RPM? that thing sounds wicked at8, i cant wait to get it high revved!
Also on ZXRs does it take alot of throttle/clutch modulation to get it going?
Im having a probloem that when i want to go, it wants to die unless i give it quite a bit of gas through the whole clutch releasing ordeal. Nothing like my buell where i just go.

the zxr don't start playing til it hits 10k mate, but it should shoot off from a twist of the throttle?

That M-Max box is a derestrictor box. Where that box is plugged into, thats where the speedo normally plugs in. If you look at the back of the speedo there will probably be a random loose wire, thats what plugs into the loom. With the at box you should be able to do the full 145mph.
I had one of those M-Max ones on my ZXR but it was really tempremental, so i bought another one and its fine.

Does it do that in every gear? It could be a running problem. Try taking off the de-restrictor and plugging the speedo back in (remember the loose wire at the back of the speedo i was talking about?) and see how the bike runs like that. With the clock plugged in it should rev upto 10k which is what seems to happens to everone elses. If it revs upto 10k then you could probably assume that the de-restrictor is faulty and messing with things. If it still sticks at 8k then you could probably rule out the de-restrictor and put it down to a running problem. Perhaps you could try another CDI and see how you go with another, there must be loadsa spares there in Japan?

i cant even get it to run correctly. Like when i start to go, the bike needs alotta throttle and clutch modulation to get going like it wants to die. thats why i think its somethign in the ignition system and charging maybe not giving it enough power.
if someone has some ignition stuff around let me know, in case i need it. Im going to start with the manual and do all the tests to find out whats bad
