| Modifications: Lifted front forks by 5mm, increased front rebound -3 from maximum, bump standard and the rear +1 full turn on preload (coz of my fat rump) and +2 stiffer from standard (oo err !) | |||
| Problems: Front discs warped before first service ! Other than that nothing apart from rear tyre wear and the weather being shite and I can't go out as often as I would like !!! | |||
|
Comments:
Doesn't steer like a ZXR but you can't have everything. Riding position OK but could be more racey. I have been running Avon Sport and Super Sport Tyres as I can get them cheap but wouldn't recommend them as they last for about 700 miles on the rear and then tend to melt to the road surface !! Bridgestones are good but am trying Dunlop 207's as recommended by others - even though my wallet needs a rest after three sets of Avons in the last six months !! But what the hell !

I found that this bike so powerful... I'm not and experienced rider so if you have any advice, they are welcome. I will probably make weelly in 2 year cause I learned fast but for now, this machine is too powerful that I will try to manage the machine before take risk. If you come for Montreal, give me a call so we can take a ride somewhere.

WANTED AN R1 BUT COULDNT GET ONE.BUT I WOULD NOT TRADE MY ZX FOR ONE NOW THAT I HAVE SPENT TIME ON BOTH.THE ZX9R IS A SUPERIOR STREET BIKE AND IM VERY GLAD TO OWN IT.ONCE I FIGURE OUT HOW TO TUNE THE STUMBLE OUT OF IT,IT WILL BE FLAW LESS. IF YOU HAVENT TRIED THE METZLER MEZ4 YOUR DENING YOURSELF THE ONE MOD THAT MADE THE MOST DIFFERENCE TO THE PERFORMANCE OF MY BIKE,FAR SUPERIOR THAN THE REST FOR STREET USE.

The 9R rocks! Every time I ride it I'm still impressed that a bike could be so fast and agile yet still comfortable enough to ride all day. It has more performance than I'll probably ever be able to use, & I can't see anything replacing it anytime soon.
