My First 'bike bike' Zxr400 L8

[Bike Bunker]

Ok so i travelled to lincoln braught the bike from a female who had got her self up the duff and needed the money to pay for the baby...she wanted 995, told her prams are in the sale take 895 so she did...

Bike has 19k on the clock, new fork seals new braided hose's and new brembo brakes (all include reciepts)
its data tagged, has a broken belly panel (right at the very bottom)
and a bent clutch lever(could be bent back)...down pipes are spotless she said they was new but has no reciept, an original can (but not THE original as she has a reciept for it)
Also has complete pink anodised fairing screws ect (will be changed ) and black anodised pegs front and rear also has a few other anodised bits and bobs.

She was nice enough to throw in a free motrax paddock stand with the £45 reciept.

errr.. thats all i think....oh the brakes was fairly seized chain was fairly rusted the petrol in the tank is 18months old and it hasnt left her garage for 18 months except it went round the block once! battery was dead but seems to be charging well...

The plan...pass my theory in 5 days, book my mod 1 and 2 and get on the damn think.

it could do with having the rear seat re-covered (not torn just come away from the foam)

has 2 keys ...erm not sure what else tbh,ill think.



Now for the 'whore photos' its dark your going to have to wait untill tommorow

EDIT: the bike also came with a folder...which is a printed manual ..ITS AMAZING! probly the best manual ive ever seen...admittedly it weighs a ton and has like 1000+ pages....but it tells you how to strip everything down what to clean with what to grease with how to do it how to put it back to gether and i mean everything!

Is that a Beet generator cover too?

Don't like the anodised bits on the braided lines. Looks tidy.

Looks like an ex- trackbike.

Brembos have had some brackets made to fit ( the standard tokico's werent great), the rear sets have also got some brackets to move them up and back, the genny cover has been changed.

Nevertheless, for that price, id of bought it

I don't like the look of those calliper brackets and the adjustable(there is probably a proper term) holes, and they look like random stainless allen bolts, which AFAIK shouldn't be used for callipers.

Ok the bike didnt start...(i know your all thinking AHAHA) charged battery cleaned spark plugs. Fired on the press of the button sounds amazing no rattles or anything...Dont know if it was was race, its also data tagged sent off the form today. The rear brake is siezed, Will sort that tommorow, other than that the bike seems in good condition

EDIT: the chain was also tightened ridiculasly!!! the had turned the screw on the swing arm on the left but not on the right so the wheel was at a obvious angle... sorted that too now

Tires are michelin going to get some bridgestone pirelli's

ALSO down side the swingarm has a fair amount of scratches on deepest about half a mm so not bad but looks shit

Looking for a set of clutch and brake levers and a new gear pedal...then im all done with it i tihnk

i had pirelli bridgestones on my 125 and they seemed to grip forever pretty well (till i hit lots of sand) i dno i might just keep these ones till the where down also the rear is pretty squared off

[evoboy]

Just ride it on the tyres it has.

I highly doubt you had Pirelli Bridgestones on your 125, they don't exist

Looks sick mate I'd be chuffed with that! And for the price!

... Completely un-motivated me to buy a 125. They are too overpriced!

Yeh ahaha sorry i dno what appens in my skull sometimes ...clearly not alot to think i got a 17 A*-C's in my GCSE's is hard to believe huh?

Yeh glad everyone likes the bike though it scares me how heavy it is....im a skinny shit, need to build some muscle before my test i believe

[CaNsA]

I had pirellis on the 1st zxr, really didnt like them.
bt090 are epic, but last 5 minutes

Running Conti Road Attacks right now, im not a fan of conti at the best of times but they seem to be ok so far.

I would highly suggest getting the suspension set correctly for your weight.

[CaNsA]

It does look very tidy mate.
The brakes are awesome, the BEET cover is worth a small fortune.
I did voice my concerns the other day though mate.
And as said before, it screams "ive been raced" due to the rear sets, brakes, and whats going on with that rear sprocket? how many teeth has that got?

The suspension setup will improve the bike fkin shit loads, deffo get it done asap.

Ride the bike to liverpool and ill take you to my bike guy, he will tell you stuff that you really need to know and what state the lump is in.

BTW why have you got a pan under the bike in the 1st pic?

levers... get these, i got them a while back and they are awesome.
