Raining today so have not been out on the ZZR but gave it a good clean. Found a spurious device on the back of the speedo. Any idea what it does, I've taken it off now. The speedo never read the correct speed before it was like I was going twice as fast as the speedo, speedo would read 20 and I was actually doing 40.

That's a MPH converter. Use them on grey imports with KPH only clocks to make it read miles and MPH

Ok. My bike IS an import but had that device and MPH clocks? taken it off now so all things being back to standard the clocks SHOULD read correctly?

It probably had KPH clocks and a previous owner swapped them over but kept the converter (probably didn't know what it was).

Is it a 400 import with a 600 engine (frame number would be ZX4........)?

Nope. Frame number is Zx600D00...............etc.

On log book it says ENGINE NUMBER UNKNOWN, maybe that's a bit worrying?

Does it have an engine number? My Japanese import TRX doesn't, just the model code 4NX stamped there instead.
