Removing Catalytic Converter

G'day there. I ride a zx12 and thinking about removing the C.C I'm presuming if I do then when the time comes to sell it, the bike would not meet the emission requirments. How difficult would it be to fit another one if at all possible. They look like they are welded into the pipe during manufacture ...

Hi fellow riders, I ride a zx 12 and am considering buying either a Yoshi or a Scorpion slip on, which are both in my price range. My mate rides a GSX 1400 with a Yoshi that sounds nice.

Re: zx12 up-shifting issues

zx12 up-shifting issues

Hi there, just recently purchased a zx12 with 12 000km on the clock. The gearbox seems to require a real effort by foot while up- shifting and sometimes doesn't want to go into gear at all. Is it maybe me or has anyone else experienced the same problem. Cheers Steve.
