anyone know anything about the zxr 400sp

[theWEZ]

Hello there i've just joined this site as i have just bought a Kawasaki ZXR400 SP, and i am trying to find out whether anyone knows how much these bikes are worth as there is very little information about them on the internet. I am also trying to find out if any one knows any good sites where i can obtain information about this particular model, as i have not found much info as of yet.........cheers wez

if you don't find it here mate you aint gonna find it

how much did you pay for it then?

[theWEZ]

I just posted a pic of it i didnt pay too much for it how much would you have payed its done 30,000m on a g plate and apart from the usual scuffs its ok for an 18yr old bike i just dont know how much they are worth like i said its a genuine sp model and the log book says so

[masterofinsanity]

hard to say, to me an SP doesn't ring my bells so a G reg zxr400 H model a little bit special, maybe £1300 - £1500? aint many about which is why there's not much info on them.see what the rest think when they wake up.

[rene]

id say £1200-1800 odd if all the SP stuff is in good condition, and still has all the correct SP parts on there.

Looks lovely though fella would f'in love one

[theWEZ]

ok i will ask about do me a favour and refer people to this post i need as much info as i can i only found one other bike like mine on here and i pm him but no reply as yet lol cheers for your time and help ALSO forgot to say it has a stage um dunno what dyno lol the main jets are 102 and all of the bike is completly original even the exhaust and screen and indicators ....... wez

Only two things i notice are:

No "Sport production" decals on the lowers and No SP forks.

Apart from that looks very clean

Well spotted.

Possibly a front end accident damaged bike then.

nah, its a j1 init. they dont have the comp adjusters on the bottom of the forks, but they do differ internally than regular h1 forks.
they also dont have flatslides, not until a year later with the j2. but again, the cv carbs are different to the standard h1 cvs. they do have a close ratio box and the adjustable cams( i think?)
all in all, not as valuable as the L and H2 sp models, but a well cool and maybee even rarer bike. nice one.

also, there is a wealth of info in that search function. might take a while to dig it up, but there is lots in there

HERE IS ANOTHER PIC OF THE BIKE WHEN I FIRST GOT IT ALL DIRTY LOL ...it does say h1 on the log book and i spoke to a very helpfull guy on here that ran me through a few things its ment to come with flatside carbs but these are always the first to go as they are worth £450+ i havnt had chance to lift the rocker box and check to see if the cams have an adjuster but i will and it does not say sports production on the front but then again i cant find a genuine pic of a h1 sp anywhere to reference it if anyone could find one that would be helpfull again thanks everyone ........wez

[jake]

nah mate. they dont have flatslides. h1(j1) have cvs. I know as i have a set from a j1, as well as the rest of the bike.
the j2 frame also differs from the j1 frame. the j2 has an extra lug to attach something to do with the flatslides...dunno what it is, ive never had flatslides. And the j1 frame is the same as a h1.
I really like the j1 forks, and have them in my bike over the j2 ones i have. they feel great.
I am pretty sure the j1 has adjustable cams and close box tho...
most importantly what does it ride like

search button is our friend! there is pictures of a h1sp somewhere

[theWEZ]

well i have owned all models of zxr,s 750,s h1 and l1 models also a vfr 400 nc30 and a kr1s and the zxr 400 is by far the best feeling bike ive ridden so far it feels so planted under me that i cant help but give it some stick lol its got long gears but does not drop by more than a 1000rpm when changing gears yeah im well impressed by it and with a price tag of lets say well under £500 im a happy chappy lol

[jake]

sounds like you got a steal there then! good on ya

[theWEZ]

yeah i would just like to know whether or not it hass the sp engine and so a very helpfull guy on here informed me theres only one way to check and thats to take the rocker box off and look to see if the cams are adjustable but he did also say that they came with flatsides as standered the forks are USD forks but theres no adjuster at the bottom of the fork leg but so i hear there rare forks from another zxr and never came with the h1 dunno really what to say about the decals on the front fairing it must have had paint at some point but its all been checked and never involved in an accident im so rambling now lol cheers

I stand to be corrected but every SP model thats passed through my hands had a 16 tooth front sprocket that would give an indication of it having a close ratio gearbox.
