Cheers,

Thanks for all the replies Gents, i decided to keep the Z900 regod for another year so will be sticking with Shannon's and insureing both, total cost has come down with some negotiating after Shannons agreed that they have the Zrx in wrong category, its now a "sports tourer" NOT a "sports bike ...

You and your mate live in the same postcode re the ZRX policy? Same mods listed? How did u go with QBE on a quote then?

Possibly the speed triple being a fairly new model has cheaper available replacement parts and less claims history? I dare say after 2-3 years the agreed value and premium would ...

Hello Gentlemen,
quick question if i might, I am renewing my insurance cover on the mighty ZRX agreed value $10,000, currently with Shannons which is costing me $502 a year with 65% no claim discount, which i think is expensive, my mates ZRX 2004 is costing $354 per year with the same 65%ncd but ...

if he's doing 140's he will be going faster than 260 indicated at the track.

Find a new test track :lol:

Yeah, i'm sure he would be, indicated at least. If he could keep the thing on the ground up the PUtty he could be going a lot quicker than that. I cheated a bit, i know he wanted to have a ...

Mine's an S model so shouldn't be compared to the slower, worse handling R models. But my playschool clock has nudged the $2.80 mark more than once. So at a guess I reckon it's prolly good for a real $2.65 or there abouts. Mind you, I am 6 and 1/2 feet shorter than you and weigh as much as the eye ...

i'd say approx 10% out.

tell your BMW rider mate he's a poof and needs to twist the right one. :lol:

I till him he's a poof all the time and he says "and whats wrong with that"! He also points out that he can 1:40s all day at E.C. on treaded tyres and is not bad for a poof!!!! I might point out ...

Hey Gents, who has an idea of how accurate the REx speedos are and what sort of top speed will they do? Mine has s slip on, standard gearing, jetted etc and will pull around 10,300rpm in 4th and around 8900-9000 in top, shows about 255 depending on bumps (bit hard to read with one eye at that speed ...

I called the U.S. DID chain distributor and she says the chains are made in Japan. Boy am I fucked up. Maybe I should cut back on the booze. LOL
Nah Oldman, NOT f**ked up at all, just getting older like the rest of us! I guess the confusion comes from what are not "global" companies getting stuff ...

[DID chains are made in China and are known for their maximum stretch technology. I have several acquaintances who have DID's and swear AT them. As far as I'm concerned DID's are a pile of shit. Buy an EK. I've put 19,000 miles on my replacement EK and have only had to adjust it once, and I'm a ...

Thanks for all the comments, I am down to DID VX2 xhain or Izumi - I believe both are jap and there's not a lot of difference beteween the two in price. Has anyone had any experience with either?

Thanks
Ben

Used to run izumi chains on my drag bike back in the 80's, good for high 9s and close to ...

pick someing i love the look of and then modify a bit to suit.

Yes, thats my motto too :kuda:


Yeah mate, buy what you are passionate about and modify to your own taste, besides anyone on any sports bike of the last ten years can get along quicly, there's not really much in that is there? I ...

Hmm how strange ant? I wonder if mine has the right amount of fluid?? But then again I wasnt having the issues you were, so I gather its pretty close. Either way It tranformed my bike, & I am pretty happy with it.
Like I said before, if I wanted sports bike handling I wouldnt by a ZRX, probably a ...

Hello Gentlemen,
quick update on the ZRX Promecha modded front forks i was having issues with. Sorry for the extended time delay, i have been having some issues with work and other bike stuff which took precedence.
Now, my issues were bottoming on big bumps, too much high speed rebound, stiction etc ...
