I had one and ran it into the ground. I did put about 30k miles on it though and learnt a fair bit about bikes from it. Keep on top of maintaining the brakes, I went through a total of 5 calipers I think - 3 fronts and two rears. They're not hard to work on though and I rode through all weather and lived next to the sea so not exactly easy going on it!
The most I ever had out of mine was 118mph (on a private road) but it was absolutely screaming and was downhill with a tailwind! In the end the clutch thrust bearing ate itself and the bike was very tired by that point so I got the ZRX to replace it. ____________________ Now: '00 Kawasaki ZRX1100R - Past: '84 Yamaha DT125, '89 Kawasaki KLR600, '97 Yamaha XJ600N

For some bizarre reason I quite liked my old one. I've no idea why though, so it's probably rose tinted specs. |

Well a lot has been done this weekend! I have managed to get the mechanics together, and go her fired up, here is a breif rundown.
Well Friday all my pices I needed to get up and running had arrived.
1m of 7mm hose
1m of 6mm hose
1m of 4mm vacum hose
Fuelcap
Cable oiler.
I wanted to get the fuel line in purple, like the vacumn hose, however they did not do fuel line version of it. So instead I have the cotton coated version of the fuel hose.

I drilled and hammered the old lock from the fuel cap. Unfortunate the other half lost all my keys to all of my bikes so I have to replace them all.
https://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r232/stuartkeith/DSC_0190_zps24bfin8s.jpg
I removed all of the old fuel system the main pipes are ok, however I wanted to route them better and get the fuel filter somewhere more safe, and convienient.

New fuel cap is all fitted and looking good!

Started to put the carbs back on and plumb in the fuel system then noticed a small issue.
https://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r232/stuartkeith/DSC_0193_zpss42bi42v.jpg
This engine was off a newer bike, so it was missing the vacum pipe for the fuel pump, and also the oil pipe in the cover for the carb heaters.
https://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r232/stuartkeith/DSC_0195_zpsdybyvebp.jpg
So off to the old engine to remove the number 2 inlet stub and swap over.
https://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r232/stuartkeith/DSC_0196_zpskllbsfrl.jpg
Um nice and yukky, so a quick clean off later and all better.
https://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r232/stuartkeith/DSC_0197_zpssz3vkixn.jpg
So I fit this to the engine and then spend the next 10minutes trying to get the carbs on. I give up. Turns out the stumps are slightly different shape, so the new number 2 was ever so slightly out of alignment with the rest of the carb outlets. Another 30mins later. I have all the old ones off from the engine, and swapped over. Carbs go straight back on!
Next hour was spent measuring the hoses and working the best routing, I then hose clamped some of them, and the other that fitted nice already I put a couple of red cable ties on there to give colour burst.
I sorted the breather hoses and bolted the airbox on and routed everything.
