75,000k ? Its barely run in. Use good oil and change it regularly and that motor will keep going for years.

Yep my first ZX9 did 193,000 and was still going when I retired it.

If you had the bike since new, put 75k KM's on it and were happy to keep it on the road, it should be no problems on the track mechanically.

Change the oil every 2nd track day and after a 2 day race meet and it should be fine.

Well occasionally I'd get slack and let the service run out to 6000km, but more often than not I do the oil and filter every 3000km. It's led a pretty charmed life.

Sounds like its a belter for the track!
