Looks like we've acquired a little ZXR400. It's the one with the hoover pipes. A bit ratty, needs some TLC, but should scrub up well. -- Dan L Too much time to think, too little to do. http://thebikeshed.spaces.live.com/ 1992 kawasaki ZXR400 (The one wiv the hoover tubes) Coming soon to a patio near me. 2003 Ducati 900SS FF (Woo hoo) 2002 Triumph Sprint RS 955i (BTDT) 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr (Gone, but not forgotten) BOTAFOT #140 (KotL 2005/6/7/8) X-FOT#000 DIAABTCOD #26 BOMB#18 (slow) OMF#11

You do of course realise that they are completely impossible to ride sensibly? They are however a dream to maintain as everything seems to be built for easy and swift access unlike Mr Hondas offerings. Handy tips include 1. 1 - 2 x M16 washers about 1.5mm thick, under the top of the rear shock mount to raise the rear ride height by about 5 - 10mm. To increase the already rampantly quick turn in to taste. 2. is don't bugger the brakes as a set of seals for the front calipers comes in at eek money. 3. Ride it round the outside of a few muppets on R1's whilst going round roundabouts. Its more than capable and it's fun. 4. Check the bolts that hold on the rear subframe seat unit often. They seem to vibrate a bit and come loose no matter how much threadlock you use on them. See dog for futher tippage as he had one too. Enjoy
