(EDIT- got one) What do I need to know about Ninja's?

[boundy]

Im in the market for a new bike and I quite like the look of the ZX7R 1998 on and the ZX9R 1998 on, so what do I need to know about these bikes? Anything worth looking at around the 1998, £1500 mark, a late Thunderace?

The 98 9R is a top bike, you wont go wrong tbh. Main problems ive seen are to do with the front brakes tbh

Just make sure it had the recall dont on the carbs or the carb icing is a pain, also the front brake calipers altho good...are a pain in the arse once corrosion sets in, the pins that hold the pads into the caliper are well known for seizing in, so if one you go to look at has a small hole drilled into the caliper its a good sign...means somebody has done summin about the issue

The pistons in the calipers also seize in or stiffen up fairly easy ripping the seals, on my 6r (same front brakes) used to happen all the bloody time to the point where i just took the dust seals out altogether and packed the pistons out with vaseline.

The engines are solid and have plenty of go and there uber comfy compared to modern stuff.

Best of luck

The one im going to look said it has a bit of vibe under braking, i'll knock him down on price if the calipers need rebuilding, but he did say they were recently rebuilt then the bike was left unused

[boundy]

Any reason to go for a C2 over a C1?

I've seen the Dewsbury Ninja - £12.99 Kappa hoodie and an Aldi bag. Deadly!!!

[garth]

Chain adjusters seize in the swinging arm.

I've had to drill mine out.

It's a pain in the cock.

Other than that it seems all good! Nice engine and 'box.

I'll give a better review in about two weeks when I've clocked up a few thou.

Recently bought a ZX9R to replace my dead Thundercat. My what a difference to the quality of the ride. More space, far more power and alot more comfier. Suprisingly the big 900 doesnt eat that much more fuel than the 600 - although im sure if I was gunning it everywhere it would start the drinking!

I'd highly recommend the ZX9
