Hi All,
I am now officially a member of the ZXR400 clan! I just bought a racing-spec L model, which has ZX10 racing fairings and bodykit, which makes it really look like a ZX10. The guy threw in all the original road parts, 5 different sprockets, 4 extra sets of racing tyres, and the paddock stand. I am collecting it tonight, and will hopefully take it on the track next weekend. I wonder how it will compare to my Triumph Daytona 675 on the track.
I can't wait.
I will post some pictures if I can figure out how to do so (any advice?) |

| A bit slower at the top end, but way more fun in the corners. Enjoy. |

Na, have to disagree there, 675 is better in the corners  
Have fun on it though, just keep the throttle pinned  |

Well, I got my bike on Friday evening. I spent the entire weekend working on her. I first flushed and drained the engine oil. Replaced the oil filter, and refilled with fresh oil. I then completely removed the exhaust, which involved removing the fairings and the radiator. I spent about 4 hours repairing a rattle and multiple leaks in the exhaust. I eventually had to cut the exhaust in half, just after the 2-into-1, as there is a small dividing plate inside that was lose and causing the rattle. I had to weld that secure, and then weld the exhaust back together. After doing a water-test, I found about 8 other small holes in the exhaust, which I then welded shut. I used rust remover and a wire brush to clean the entire exhaust. I then sprayed it with black heat resistant paint. The exhaust is now as good as new. The rattle is gone, her power and responsiveness feels better, and she sounds awesome.
I will add a picture as soon as the Photo Bucket site stops timing-out. |

Oh, by the way, thanks all for your help with posting the picture.
I have managed to load the picture of my new baby.
Any comments? (preferably good ones ) |

Looks sweet dude!
How well does the rear seat cowl fit and does it fit to the original sub frame? |

Thanks Guys. I will be taking the afternoon off from work next Wednesday to take the bike to the track. I am excited to see how she performs.
Yes Loris, the rear cowl fits to the original frame, and is very secure. |

| The bike looks unreal mate!. Does removing the air intakes at the front not have an effect on performance though? |
