ZX9R C1 - A whoopsy.

[garth]

Well as the title suggests I had a whoopsie.

Gearbox is what you might call, er, fucked, so last weekend it went from this:

to this

to this

More to come, including brakes / wheels / tyres / braided lines / 12R shock / BMC Filter / Plugs / Chainguard....


and ofcourse a 03-06 Z1000 gearbox.

And here's my old selector fork;

Just got to decide whether to change the 9R Drum for the Z1000 one, and waiting on my refurb 4 pots to come. Then it's wheels out, powedercoat time, set of tyres, fit the new shock, piss off to Europe.

ive done this job lots of times now personly dont see the point in fitting the z1000 box for the sake of a selctor fork yes replace the fork it will go again but in how many miles 30000? so one change will take the bike to 60k
pluse once the engines out its half hour to change the fork 1 hour tops

Quick update, I've got the engine back in and after many hours of swearing I've ridden it.


All works well, no more gearbox issues.

Got rid of the blue wheels eh? They look good in black! If/when I decide to do something about the flaking blue paint on my 9Rs wheels, I may go black too. I'm intrigued to see what white would look like though

Fair point! I just imagined that putting white wheels on the 9R would have the same effect as putting white stilettos on an essex lass... i.e make them look cheap and dirty (in the good way). I hadn't considered the fact that in reality they would look like the bad kind of cheap and dirty.

Looks nice.

Cant wait to get through my current BT014's so I can put some roadsmarts on, love those tyres!

Just cant get on with the 14's for some reason, need to set up suspension to suit my lump really.

I dont know if Ive seen that guide...

I have done the basic setup of static sag, rider sag and put the compression/rebound settings back to near stock as a basis to go from but everything still feels really wooden and I have no confidence in corners, was thinking that the rear shock may be set too hard, but its pretty much stock and Im a fat bastard...

Dunno, I'll probs pay someone to do it properly when I have the money!

If anyone is interested in this, pm me.

[evoboy]

the zx12 shock is longer? You can adjust the rear ride height with the bolt adjuster on the top of the shock. Newer zx6 shocks fit aswel.
