Problems: No probs at all - carb icing -what's that? Maybe I'm just lucky..... | |||
Comments:
She's old and overweight but she's still bloody fast and so stable... Comfortable 2 up and for long distances. Can't justify changing it! Get hold of a Muzzy system if you can - they look brilliant, sound even better and give a decent increase in performance as well as being vastly lighter than the stock system - Try ringing Symtek in Redditch 01527 60501 - they had a couple left last time I went in. I've always used Bridgestone tyres but I was offered a pair of Dragon Evo's cheap so tried them - grip levels are fine, well up with the bridgestones the only difference I've found is that the bars flap a bit more as the front wheel goes light under power.

Comments:
Just bought it on Saturday June 15.It was a tough decision to trade in my 99 Superhawk but I'm real happy with the ZX9, just a terrific first impression. The ZX9 just fits me a little better the the 'Hawk and has better range for out here in West Texas.

Accessories: Alarm/immobilsier and sod off chain | |||
Modifications: None...yet, exhaust and dyno jet soon(any recommendations any one), also possible suspension work, especially the forks. 15-MAY-2001 Full Akrapovic added, 9hp gain, but the real benefit is the "feel" of the engine now, what an absolute animal, its a scream to ride, the only downer is I'm going to get a serious tug for telephone numbers speed soon. BT 010's trashed after trackday at Rockingham (010's are not the best track tyres either)so Hi-Sports fitted (ride in-ride out £190), grip is a thousand times better so long as you can get used to the "dropping off a cliff" feel as you turn in. Bike is currently at Pro Twins in Godstone for a full Hyper-Pro suspension upgrade so I'll let you know who it goes. 22-5-01 Got bike back from Pro Twins, suspension fixed, no more worries on corner exit of collateral damage (hedges, trees, oncoming traffic etc)...confidence totally restored in the bike and my riding. 10-2-02 MRA smoke double bubble screen fitted (bike looks complete now), Benelux bike design crash bobbins fitted, very solid but you will need to get longer engine mount bolts as the brackets rob some of the thread from the nut and leave it "hanging" slightly. | |||
Problems: Soggy suspension, any set up ideas for a 12st rider pls email me(NOW SORTED, SEE ABOVE). Carb icing, I thought my 7R was bad but this is terrible. Scrathced fairing, any recommendations on a polish to reduce gravel rash to the paintwork?? | |||
Comments:
Rain and rain and rain. I can testify that these things keep going even when the puddles are over footpeg depth. I'm sure that the kawasaki Ju-Ju man cursed my machine with eternal wet riding when it rolled off the production line!

Update 1-02:Traded bike to dealer Jan 2002 with 47,500mi for what I owed ($4,000). Sorry to see her go, she did me proud, still ran very hard but with those miles I was waiting for the "stupid" problems to start. Bought a 2002 Hayabusa, different but most excellant. update:as of 11-01 I totally love this thing, had a 97 for a month but it got stolen, this is much better. 46,500 mi and almost every time I go out I get into the triple digits (thats just the on ramp) With a slipping clutch at 32k mi I got 128bhp at the rear wheel (not bad) I ride Malibu canyon "Rock Store" a lot with some groups, wanna ride?

Accessories: Heated grips.Most people mount them on snowmobiles but they really are invaluable on a streetbike if you ride year round,wherever you live.Lockhart/Phillips Speed Screen. Carbon front fender and tank guard.Next larger sized battery (lasts longer).Tried a Lockhart/Phillips carbon rear fender but that was a total waste of $220.All the holes were drilled in the wrong places and the fit was SOOOOO poor that I took it off before I had an accident with the thing self destructing on the rear tire.Eclipse soft luggage for trips. | |||
Modifications: Factory Jet kit and K&N filter.Even with the stock exhaust,the intake mods REALLY filled in the midrange power.I felt that I didn't really need more peak power because I just can't use it when I've already got 170mph available whenever I want it so,the pipe is stock and quiet enough to not piss my neighbors off.The heated grips are incredible and I won't ever ride without them again.The flip on the speedscreen just helps with my 6ft height.Will send shock/forks to RaceTech or Lindemann Engineering for rebuild/revalve when I can justify parking it for a few weeks but,I just hate the thought of not riding for any extended period! Wired in a Priority Lites box so that the front turn signals stay lit as running lights and,I swear that I don't have anywhere near the problems with assholes lane changing ontop of me that I used to.Replaced stock brake pads with same bcz the front brakes are the best I've ever squeezed on any bike I've ever ridden.Changed sprockets to a 17/47 tooth combo and a 530/114 link chain to just get the chain riding higher so the swingarm slider got a break from all the wear and it also liberates the rear suspension from all the chain tension squatting when on the power.The 17/47 sprockets give almost the same final drive ratio and more chain clearance on the top of the swingarm pivot where the chain wear slider is. Stick with the stock width rear tire (a 180/55) or you'll regret it.The wider tire look isn't worth the fkd up handling probs OR the extra money.Carbon front fender is only because of the forgotten disc lock and the carbon is cheaper than the stock fender.Looks cooler too,natch!Oh yeah,when I did the carb mods,I left the air injection unit on.Sure,it doesn't help the closed or trailing throttle but,all that fresh air injected into the exhaust when you've flipped the kill switch off/on lights off a MASSIVE explosion that can be handy in 'just' the right situations (jaywalking pedestrians or narcoleptic minivan dickheads) | |||
Problems: One word: TRANSMISSION The only one thing that positively sucks about this bike is it's utterly pathetic ability to shift from gear to gear and the 4th to 5th (or 5th to 4th) shift is the absolute worst.Talk about FALSE NEUTRAL!Nothing worse than hitting 12,000rpm in 4th and going for 5th but getting a big,fat neutral.Whoever designed this tranny needs to get punched in the head.Clunky,notchy and just plain BS.Good thing the engine has soo much power that you don't really need to shift very often but,if I wanted to ride a bike with a crap tranny,I'd buy another frickin Honda (they can lick me!). | |||
Comments:
WHY oh WHY doesn't every bike come with a fuel guage??That was the determining factor between the 96 and the 99 (blue) that I was looking at because the reduced weight of the newer bike wasn't low enough to entice me into the prospect of pushing it when inevitably running out of fuel.It's bound to happen at least ONCE with no fuel guage.I'd take an inaccurate fuel guage over dual trip meters any day of the year.Screw that nonsense! I have nothing but praise for this bike because I used to own a 1990 VFR 750 (pile of shit- don't believe what ANY magazine says about that bike)When the price of both bikes is equal,the ZX9 pisses all over that pathetically underpowered,unreliable,overweight piece of overrated Honda junk.The first day I owned my Nine,I just happened upon a VFR 750 that was racing an Audi TT on the freeway and I positively annihilated BOTH of those pussies.It was the most gratifying moment of my love affair with this bike and I've had nothing but grins ever since.Well,except for the occasional crappy shift....

Problems: Crazy front fairing rattle at 30 mph or so. Excessive fuel consumption. Hmm, maybe due to being on the gas a lot, but worn needle jets seems could also be a culprit. | |||
Comments:
I love it. Next is probably exhaust and jetting only to iron out the rough 2500-3000 rpm spot. Maybe a Corbin or Sargent seat. The bar risers only raise it 5/8 inch, but it is enough to make more comfortable since this is my daily ride to work. Side by side with Helibars, the Helibar angle was less comfortable. I want to find out about track days and racing in Sicily. Great bike.
