He Sam,

I have a 2002 ZX7R, and a couple of years back did the ZX9R engine swap.

The front engine mounts need to be moved - i purchased a kit from the states which included mounts which utilized the existing mounts. Without them the front mounts need to be ground off the frame, and new ones welded ...

Hey everyone...

Well - sadly the 2007 project - stretched well into 2008 :)

The 7 has been off the road for just about a full 12 months,but now its time to make some noise once again... if only the rain would go away!

The ZX9R engine swap is now 99.9% finished.

Everything is up and running, done ...

thanks mike,

yeh the 10's good for the road.

but the 7 with a worked 9 in her for the track... deadly


Travis

Lainie,

thanks. i picked up my bike on sat.

it will be back 'off' the road again soon.

ive secured a ZX9R engine and associated parts needed to do the 7/9 engine swap as my 2007 project.

then it will be the sweetest zx7r in melbourne!

Heya,

as per the previous suggestions - id say, dont change anything and dont worry about going to the 520 either.

the difference of a 525 to a 520 on the 7... on the road, forget it. If your chasing half seconds on the track, get some lighter wheels first and then, and then, and then, after ...

Heya,

the best sliders out there are from R&G racing.

I got a set in for under $200 if i remember right.

Ill try and get some pics up of mine when i was installing them.

If you are not mechanically inclined, id suggest you get a good mate to help who is, otherwise you might not be happy with the ...

lol - no bike, ouch hope ones on its way soon.

Given i dont think i know where you are talking about, i guess it could be safe to assume that im down the other end of pound rd

Im just off cranbourne-narre rd near the 'casey central' shopping centre.

Travis

Cool,

make sure you check out my 7 :)

Once ive got it back from Pete, we'll have to get out for a ride.

Given you live near me, ive noticed these 2 guys lately that are CRAZY fast riders going passed my place. Not sure what bikes, 1000's for sure. The seem to like doing mono's and smoking up the ...

lol,

sorry Lainie - Pete it is.

Dont you hate it when you are talking to someone and typing at the same time and write there name!

Travis

Lainie,

If you go over to Dave's right now, you'll see my 7 in his garage for some new fork seals!

(I saw your recomendation to him here last week while i was searching around for info on good mechanics)

AND he is about 2 minutes from my place... and i didnt even know he was there.

We talked ...

Hi guys,

just thought id drop back in and see if i can remember any names or faces.

(to be honest, while trying to track down a good local mechanic i found this place again! - having my previous mechanic dissapear off the face of the earth...)

its been almost 2 years since i was here last!!

i ...

Hey again,

what i saw on matts bike on the arthers seat ride,

so far he has only made the covers for the ram air tubes.

and i cannot believe... i just read a post in another section from him say he has done the exact same thing with tape... and is happy with the results...

makes me ...

Thanks for the info...

While i think of it, another thing i think i noticed was that the engine braking was different!

When i took it out i tried everything... 0-220ish 1,2,3,4gears to about 10K etc... roll on's and so on.

I was very dissapionted.

Back on the engine braking thing ...

Hey guys,

i was just wondering if anyone has played around with the ram air ducts on the 7.

my bike currently has been tuned with jetting/ k&n filter and pipe and i was thinking of making some carbon ram air tubes to replace the factory stuff.

as everyone with a 7 should know they have all ...

Heres mine.

The rear was starting to spin so it cleaned it self up a little
