Hey big rig thanks for the techno-help! Cool ride. I went from a 50 lb heavier bike with 11 less hp to the ZX10. what a difference. Its only got 20K miles on it. everything looks nice. It behaves absolutely wonderfully so I expect its been jetted and synched after the exhaust swap. The guy who owned it is a real **** toyota tech.
Nice. No prob man.

With the exhaust and carb work, that thing should be around 135-140 horse at the wheel.
You'll have to get her dyno'd. Were you surprised with the agility of her especially for being a bigger bike? The only prob I have ever had is the counter balance seal. It's only a 5 dollar seal and a 1/2 hrjob to change. If oyu ever get that seepage, coat the outside of the seal with some hi temp copper rtv and voila. Problem fixed. The seal likes to work itself out slightly because of the spacer design behind the counterbalancer stop. Easy enuff fix tho.

If you ever run into a problem, I have some stock spare parts hangin around somewhere.

I can't get over how well it behaves and how its so old! I only paid $1600 for a really great bike! I'm really looking forward to a lot of fun riding this year.

Thanks for the advice and kind offer big rig.

How did you manage to get my pics up?

No prob man. And, ya, surprisingly very well handling bikes. I had to change the suspension a little to adjust to my weight and riding style, but I like.

It is amazing the confidence the bike inspires at higher triple digits. She hugs the road good.

PM'd you on the pic hosting.

If you do get the black one. The advanced polymers in black paint have a higher slipstream ratio which allows the bike to go faster.
