Thanks Brett
Looks like I gotta take off the front brake lines to get the rear piece off. Is that right?

Cheers

Thanks Daisy
I'd prefer a black one prolly a zzr one too. But if I get desperate I'll let you know.

Cheers

Hey all
My 1997 zzr 1100 front guard has broken around the left hand screw. I'm not turning up much with a google search. I spose this part is most often smashed in a bingle. I have heard that zx9 ones fit.

Anyone know of where I can find one?

Cheeer

Anyway I found the part number online and ordered it from Sydney City Motorcycles $34.18. Hopefully it will be in tomorrow... Just gotta get it on now, also got some radiator cleaner and coolant.

Cheers
Matt

Hey Folks
I've just got back form a ride to the central coast and it was restricted due to a leaking radiator hose. I have had the bike for 18 months and put 30 K on her and never ever checked the coolant level :oops:. Over the last week I have had time to clean her up with a tube of autosol and a ...

Good idea jeff but I'd prolly forget to switch it back to on....

might have just picked up the dregs from the servo when he filled up last ;)

possible I spose...

If not yes the seal does not work. The more I think about it 1 litre is many many rings of water around the seal... :? But then again we have been getting an awful lot of rain... and I ride rain hail ...

mmmmm.... Firstly the unknown source has it right 3 % of the carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is human made.

I was riding to work the other day and getting down on fuel the bike stutters as I attempt to overtake so I flick it over to reserve then it dies. I pull over, check the fuel, seems to be plenty splashing around but will not start. A mate of mine with a trailer picks me up and we drop it around to ...

mmmmmmm... So the D model had the great advances of.. a fuel gauge instead of warning light, larger fuel tank, and inaccessible battery and headlight bulb. I would have preferred a couple of litres less in the tank if I could get to the battery more easily.
Did the C model have ram air?
I thought ...

It happened... I knew it would someday... Left the keys on and drained the battery... DOH!! Ok I read somewhere the battery is under the tank!! Yep sure is took me half an hour to work out how to get to it :( What a great idea to place the battery in an easily accessible place.
I love my bike and ...

I live at Eltham, between Lismore and Ballina Glen...

Good news the bike shop has agreed to replace the fork seals at no cost to me!! :D I left it there this morning and they gave me a loner, brand new Bonny, to ride to work and back in the arvo, lovely bike to ride but a bit down on power after ...

Thanks guys I'll check the seals for dirt and see...

Thanks guys... I been in touch with the bike shop and asked about the fork seals as a warranty job... still to hear back. I notice on the receipt that bikes over 3 yrs and 30 000 km don't have to have warranty offered. The way I see it is they'll keep my business if they do it and if they don't well ...

Hi Folks

Just picked up my, new to me, 97 ZZR 1100 this afternoon... yippee!! :) Been on a GS 500 for three years and its a big step up :shock: Planning to go to Phillip Island this year and needed a proper ride. She's absolutely beautiful but a little bit scary... amazing torque. I guess I'll be ...
