Hey,

I have had my ZZR1100 for a couple of months, it has 78000kms on the clock.

I have noticed that when stopped at the lights etc and I have the clutch lever pulled in, it only engages almost right at the end of the travel of the lever - right as I am almost letting go of it.

It is a ...

Hi Rach,

Welcome to the forum.

G'day Rob. Welcome aboard mate. I am new too - a good bunch of people around here.

Hey welcome mate! Nice ride!!

Welcome Kenny. I learnt on a ZZR250, and now ride a ZZR1100 - you cant beat 'em!

Welcome aboard mate!

Thanks for the link penno!!!! That site is a goldmine!! Admittedly I wouldnt have used it for the pump, as I need it fitted before some motorcycling commitments I have coming up in 2 weeks, but it is now in my favorites for any other nasty problem that is going to present itself in the future ...

yeah I heard it was the same price for a 250cc - how bad is that???

The mate that was helping on the weekend bought a brand new FZR many years back, and he cracked the fairing on it not long after getting it. The bike cost him $14000, and he equired about a replacement fairing - $3500 not ...

Hey,

Last weekend I was doing a 500km day when I noticed tiny amounts of smoke wofting up from the left side now and then. Nothing too major - still had oil and water, and wasnt getting hot. I nursed my baby home and decided I would look at the problem this wekeend. I did some searching on here ...

From one newb to another, welcome aboard mate.

Daino, I was running Std Unleaded until last week. I've def noticed a little bit more poke and she's a little bit smoother. The MOM (Motorcycle Owners Manual) says to use 91 or higher. It doesn't specify a maximum.

One big thing with the oil: make sure the sight glass is ALWAYS full. These things ...

Nah she aint pinging. I never got an owners manual with it (been hunting for one though...) and wasnt sure what to put in so I went with the normal standard juice.

I will give Premium a try and see how it goes. I probably dont know what I have been missing! :lol:

(not this weekend though - the ...

Hiya,

I have had my ZZR1100(D) for a couple of months now, and have always used Shell Unleaded in it (only reason for Shell is cos it is close and convenient). Do any of you guys use Premium Unleaded and if you did, did you notice a difference?

Cheers, Daino.
