Hey Wattie,
What do you miss about the Zed, compared to the ZX10R?
p.s. There is a ZX10R on Riderforums that has been converted to look like a Zed! :P 8)

i miss the pillioning capability.
the green and polished lip wheels.

the ease of staying under the speed limit.

oh and the fact that no one expected it to be as quick as it was when ridden correctly

pc/wattie.. did by any chance you have a power dyno run that showed the air fuel mixture? The only reason I ask is that mine leans out really badly without the pc

i may have the dyno readout here somewhere. but that was with stock pipes. :?

im still suss on the whole kleen system stuffing up the dyno readouts. afetr all is is putting oxygen into the exhaust gasses after it exits the cylinder.

Any good dyno operator will block the main KLEEN hose from the airbox prior to the dyno run.
IIRC, the KLEEN only injects air when the throttle shuts.
