I was asking about deregoing the ZRX. :( You could go single seat- half price rego.

I have looked into it bonester but it is costly to do the change over, but I fully agree it would be the best outcome.

Having it sit & watch it deteriorate due to lack of use is not a great thought, & we all know ...

why?
Why what?

Why keep ZRX? Because its a great bike & worth more to me than I could sell it for.

ZRX in NEW Shed (1) - Copy.jpg

Why deregister ZRX? Because the downturn has meant taking a substantial wage cut to stay employed as similar business' fold all around us.

Why remove slipper ...

Strangely enough I am going the opposite way with my GEN2 Busa & removing the OEM slipper clutch to improve launch capabilities on the dragstrip.

Never felt there was aproblem with the ZRX clutch, if I had big compression maybe, but with 10:1 compression, yes it would lock & slide into corners ...

Very Nice - Clean

Well, protest rally held in Mackay attracted 130 bikes, approx 30 patched members.

Approx 30 police, uniformed & detectives.

All bikes were detained & only allowed to leave after they presented themselves in groups of 4 to the police for licence checks then Drug & Alcohol testing.

So it starts ...

Please sign if you are against the new powers that are being/have been given to Qld Police to pull over any group of 3 or more motorcyclists to search & scrutinize.

Big improvement with out all that tacky gold plastered on it

My 'new' zrx has many of the same problems that my green one had. So far:

Loose swingarm pivot bolt.

Cracked radiator fan shroud.

Lost two of the frame cradle bolts behind the radiator shroud- green bike lost one and one loose, causing the biggest mutha fukka of a tankslapper at anything over ...

Hey just saw this on ZRXOA;

" PWR was $615, a mate got me 1 on his account for $468. "

Thats from an Aussie board member, posted 18/2/2013.

Mine suffered the OEM failure around 80,000 klms = 8yrs old.

Replaced with Delkivic, first Rad was obviously on the piss when I opened the box, sent back.

No new ones avail in OZ, so was replaced with a new one direct from the factory in China, took 2 weeks.

New one has done about 28,000 klm's ...

Aahh, Bugger.

If it was a Gunfighter I would all over it like a fat kid on a donut

Looks like they are selling $250/280 2nd hand in US, pending condition.

Good luck with the sale.

Good find Phil, luv the bodywork for the rear cowl, great idea.

Maybe a Bagster Tank Cover while you save the required reddies for the paint.

Or for similar dollars or a few more forget the OEM paint scheme & go custom.

I thought there was some fine gold & other colours in that models green paint?

Took her for a test run, after finding a secluded (private) test road, gave her a crank @ around 30kph expecting the front to lift & she promptly broke into wheel spin & stepped out on me :twisted: , luv my ZRX still :lol:

Did I mention I also got Kwiks- Kwik action throttle in my little box o ...

I did Kwik's alternator chain tensioner fix yesterday. I bought his "fix" after having a good look at my clutch cover plate, and the multitude of indentations from the tensioner hitting it at start-ups. Bike has 108,000km. Kwik's fix didn't take long to install. Scraping off the old side cover ...
