Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

hey guys, this isnt how i would of liked to start my first post on this forum, but it has to be done.

well long story short, some dumb ($&# floor's it out of a side street, i hit the breaks so i dont go into him and end up sliding along the road with my brand new zx6r.

what i would like to ask you all is.
does anyone know where i can get repairs done for it in melbourne. Also if you guys can give me a rough idea if you know with out seeing the bike how much it might cost me.
the throttle doesnt snap shut once i let go and also the left side of the bike is full of scratch's.

Welcome, sorry to hear about your off. But your here to tell the story so it could be alot worse.
Some pictures will make it easier to guesstimate
Cheers

Dont stress its a 600 so the throttle is better being on rather than off. Full of scratches on the left well probably in the 450-650 range. If it only had some scratches then no more than 300. Its hard to say.

yer ill post some pics off it in the morning, but yer she still runs fine and all also i dont know what my old man did but he got the throttle working lol love the old timers so its just the scratchs

Hey Dino,

I am in Melbourne, and I have rebuilt many bikes back to 'as new'.. I have a few very good contacts in the bike repairing trade, so send me some pics as well.. and your location.. I am sure we can get it fixed just like it was..

Send any pics and your details to maccarocks@iprimus.com.au

sorry for the noob question but how do i upload pics on here (btw most of the scratchs have come out but still some deep ones, so if im lucky i reckon i can prob touch the fairing up coz nothing snaped but theres some deep ones on there which i dont know about )

Google wet4u Racing.
He plays with these kwakas all the time and has just finnished a track conversion on a zx6 this week. He should have ashitload of parts from the road gear left over. The bike was a stat W/off but wall all rear damadge.
