Re: Hong Kong fairing kit import

I sourced a set of fairing from Yes2Yeah (via ebay) for my 08 zx10r.
I landed them for under $700..
You get what you pay for though.. from a distance they look fine, but panel fit in some places isn't the best and you need to source bolt/fastners to suit it (as it doesn't use the original fairing ...

Re: 08 ZX10R M4 Exhaust Question...

I've got one on my 08, and it's offensively loud :)
However, I've had my mate ride past me on it and as a bystander on local roads and at legal speeds, it's not that bad (but it's still loud).

As a track pipe, it'd be perfect

Re: Do Crash Knobs work

I used to think that knobs were a must have item.. but i giuess it all depends on what type of crash you have.

I had a set of Oggies on an 05 ZX10R, and I low sided it on some rough tarmac at about 80km/h, while the knob saved the plastics in close proximity around it, the downside was that the ...

Re: 04-05 ZX10 colour difference???

I've got a black 05 and it's got a metallic finish through it..
When I ordered my ducktail they didn't ask if it was an 04 or 05..

Different tacho/speedo face for a ZX10R 04-05

Does anyone know where to source a different face for the speedo on a 04-05 ZX10R???

ie: Would a white ZX6R face fit on the 10???

I'm about to do an LED conversion (change the orange to green or blue), and while the dash was off i thought I'd see if I could do some other stuff..

The ZX10 does it like a bastard although it's more of a FCUKEN'BANG than a crackle. The first time it happens you get some real brown action happening downstairs but once your used to it it's OK. Handy for alerting cyclists on the Old Road that your approaching :twisted: (in a caring kind of way of ...

Back on the topic

Guys

My 10 is due for a fresh set of rubber, and trawling through the comments throughout this thread, it seems that the consensus is that the Qualifiers are a good choice..

Although depending on what is on the shelves at the time, a set of Metzler Sporttecs may end up on the 10 instead..

Re: worn tyres.. the tyres are basically brand new.. I've had it rebalanced and have checked the headstem & triple clam bearings.

Front end shudder under braking @ 90-80kmh

Got a real odd one, Under hard braking from speed, the front end shudders severley as the bike comes through the 90kmh to 80kmh range then it's linear braking all the way.
Under light braking thre is no shudder at all.

First things I've tried was getting the front wheel rebalanced (all OK), Disc ...
