|
|
So I just bought a reasonably stock [with exception of some leaking non OE front brake hoses and the odd fastner] GWB H1 ZXR 750. Picked it up off Ebay, £950, was/is described as good running order with only 2 miles since the last MOT and has new tyres.
All I'd say is I'm glad I didn't hitch to Carlisle and ride the bugger back! The brakes are partially seized, and more importantly the hoses were fitted by a muppet, the one is restricting the lock on the fairing support bracket. there are leaks from most unions, probably as a result of using stainless washers for sealing, IME they don't!
I was after a manual. Couldn't find one, but i think the IT Police at work were stopping a lot of the results for file sharing sites. So I found one at http://www.manualedereparatie.info/en/categorii/kawasaki.html lots of other manuals too, also this site is worth a visit for manuals http://www.carlsalter.com/motorcycle-manuals.asp tho there's not one for the ZXR on there
I've started a thread on Greybike if anyone is interested, there's more info here http://www.400greybike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=43013

Lovely, I'd check those front brake callipers though
I used to have a H2, great raspy noise out of the standard can. I ended up putting a Devil endurance can on mine, sounded fantastic. I've got a good seat cowl you can have as a spare, unfortunately it's red. _________________ Bimotas, Yamaha FZR 2TK, Honda NC30, MV Agusta F3 800, Aprilia RS250 |
