I'd rather use standard unleaded than Optimax or Vortex. I think the ZX7R has something against additives.

I run a Pilot Road rear and a Pilot Sport front. I like the hard compound on the rear so it doesn't square off too much from commuting, but i wouldn't put one on the front.

I'll be going Pilot Power on the steering end next.

He does freight if you're not local as well.

How much did you pay?

I find that brake pads make a bit of difference, and once you find something you like, stick to it.

All pads are sintered to some degree (to avoid low friction issues when wet), but the degree varies with rating. Currently i'm using EBC HH pads, have used them on a couple of bikes and i like them ...

Too much. Look into purchasing a larger capacity machine.

I reckon they're a good idea if you're planning on going that hard. Easier and quicker to pick up what's going on without having to read the tacho.

Sounds like you've got a bit too much preload (or too stiff a spring) and too little damping.

i've got em...i'm a fan of anything that might protect my fairings in a spill.

Sounds like they're the upper engine mounts...which is where crash knobs go if you mount them.

Here it is...a 748 litre, fuel injected ZX7R!

Unless your name is Olivier Jacque, you're out of luck.

I usually run 36 front and rear as a baseline, and then alter to suit from there.

It'll be good to see Olivier Jacque back in the top class.

On a Kwakka is just a bonus.

Looks like my problem lies with my ignition switch. I had to trailer it home from work.

I'll keep you posted.
