1999 ZX9

Postby CrazyZX9RC2 » Tue Dec 13, 2011 3:18 pm

Here's my baby. ZX9RC2 Ninja (1999)
Spent lots of money, time, blood, sweat and tears on this. all worth it. Even though it's not done yet...
not even sure I can remember everything...

i went ProBolt light weight bolts and jazz, all the way. (everything from bolts to gear shifter to reservoir caps to bar ends to bleed nipples and the rest.)

Yoshi RS-3, K&N, Muzzy adjustable ignition advancer (+2.5degrees at the moment), Barnett Carbon fibre clutch and HEL red braided break lines.

Rear hugger, Undertail, Iridium Red Double bubble screen, Saturn LED indicators by Oxford.

Lighter, faster, stronger, harder.

i did leave some thing stock for comfort eg. footpegs, leavers..... seat....... ... ..grips

updates yet to complete:
Will soon be getting adjustable cam sprockets, valves and ports done, stage 3 Jet kit, Dyno tuned, Harris steering damper, WP rear shock and WP or Ohlins inverted front forks.

...um... I had Metzler M3's on there but just put on a set of M5's 120/55/17 on the front. 190/50/17 on the rear... soft's

35,000K's on the clock

:twisted: It's aggressive :twisted: (which is how i like it) and can easily keep up with modern bikes.

That's all I can remember for now...
I ride it hard (otherwise what's the point?).
Reasintly I've decided to take this bike off the road for track use. So will get race fairings, rear-sets, leavers and remove headlight, indicators, mirrors etc..... blah blah... :kuda: Let the good times roll

Nice...another member with '9love'... 8)

Bit of a shame to turn it into a tracky after all that work. There's a great 9 tracky for sale by a forum member.
Roady - ZRX1200R
Tracky - ZX9R F1 Team Jerry Atric

I've reached the age where 'happy hour' is a nap.

Just got off the phone from him, whats he's done is awesome, changed the forks completly, left leg is now comp, right is rebound, took out one of the top out springs, marchined a spacer for the other side, basicily he said, it the same as putting a 30mm ohlins cartidge in.
The rear TTX36 was gutted and fitted with 2011 technoligy, some trickery as he called it... and a whole heap more that i dont understand yet...
He allso said that if he can, time wise, he will come to broady and fine tune it on the day... Got to be happy with that :D :D
