Some say it is that yes, I think I might agree.
I actually find it easier to handle than the 400 cos it fits me better. A little bit slower to steer but more stable with it. Certainly more torque, no need to really rev it at all to make decent progess. It's actually better than the old ZXR750 I had, I understand due to the engine being more oversquare ie wider bore and less stroke, so make more torque lower down. No more difficult than the 400 and in some ways actually easier.

I'm gonna put some pics up in the pics section shortly

considering its size and weight youd imagine its a pig to steer, but once its rolling the weight dissapears and it doesnt feel to differnt to the 400 really. Only when your getting nearer to a ton i found it harder to steer.

Dropping the yokes down the forks 10mm or so sorts that out. Or raising the back on the ride height adjuster, all depends how long yer legs are innit

i fitted a jack up kit on mine, raised the rear by 25mm

dunno if it made an improvement as i hardly rode it before i fitted it

but it handles fine, slightly slow steering but easily correctly by hanging over more

What did that consist of, different length shock tie rods?
Wasn't there any thread left on the std shock ride height adjuster?

dont think the rear adjuster has been messed with

basically the jack up kit consists of two shorter "dog bones" which simply replace the existing

Hmm ok. Why not just raise the rear on the std adjuster on the top of the shock?

cuz thats what they'd expect us to do!
