I priced these about a year ago and they were close to the $1400 mark delivered so nice score

Here are mine
Zed is my commuter, she has seen ice, mud, dirt, grass and snow.

Looks the goods

Prime is not a crime

The suspension was my biggest gripe with my 08 zed, I found that playing with the setteings and a different set of tyres inspired more confidence however at the end of the day its bargain basement gear so the zed stays as my commuter ad I bought a second bike with better supension.

I actually thought that when I fitted lower bars to my z1k the "beaten in the chest" feeling you get at 100+ kmh went away, I do 120kms a day most of it highway speed.

I am yet to see a decent screen for this shape zed (or really any naked for that fact)

If you are commuting you should still consider 2 jackets, I have 4 and could still go a second leather one I reckon

I commute 110-140 km per day in all weather and being prepared and setup so you dont carry a heap of crap around all the time is great.
My gear kit includes:

Jackets X 4
~ Shift SS ...

It depends how much you clean it, I got about 4 months on my first because I religiously cleaned both sides, my second did 12 months with only cleaning the outer side (and the inner on a rare occasion)

Shoe xr1000 with breath guard

My zook went from purring to sounding like a ported Rotary at idle after putting on an M4 (Replaced both pipes and the cat/muffler box)however there was no real change to idle rpm or power delivery, its just because its louder, straight through and hardly muffled now.

Did you say you are stalling ...

My z1000 is :
1000km - First $200
6000km - Minor $300
12,000 - Major $380
18,000 - Minor $300
24,000 - Major MAJOR $800

But the baby ninja not being an IL4 may be a different schedule, what does your service book say?

I always wanted one but have agrivated a cager or 2 in my day and would hate to come back to one of my bikes on their side because someone remebererd the plate and kicked it over.

I like the Rainey Tribute zx-10

Nice, I have them on my zed and love them, the blow nice flames

Roads are dry mate, wanna follow me home?

Its only about 150kms on top of your normal commute

I cant comment on the City guys but Ringwood (Service & tyre centre) have been great, the guy who works in the tyre section is friendly and gives me a discount because I keep going back to him. I've had 24,000 kms in service on my zed through them in the last year as well as 2 rear pilots and a ...
