mate i wont be able to keep up with you on a zx10r ,your going to fly on track with it
what mods you got planned they are quite revvy to ride ,the gearing needs sorting then you get a lot more useable midrange

keeping it simple

change the exhaust as I hate the look of the cat and the akrapovic is too loud with a decat.
Quick shifter
Gearing
then ride it :-) lots i hope .... going to change the tyres do you run super corsa's on yours

I've got a decat link pipe and arrow fitted and it isn't loud
Translogic seem to be the qs to go for according to zx10r forum
Gearing is a must it's stupidly over geared as standard ,I'm still running the oem bt 016s they seem fine for the road
When you picking it up ? Be interested to know how it compares to your gsxr thou

Just read that Rutter went 3 seconds a lap faster with an aftermarket shock fitted to Jonny macks zx10 round mallory,that's at least two places up in the que to the cafe at lunchtime
Can't wait to get this shock fitted

[duke63]

Have you got an Abba stand to help fit the shock, Perkles?

[Kwacky]

I've got an Abba stand you can use with kwak adapters.

[Blade]

A 53.80 lap Rutter did around Mallory on Johnny Mac's long termer zx10r with the ohlins Mechatronic. That's exactly the same as the best time Rutter has done on any bike around Mallory. For info the other 53.80 lap was done on a 2015 BMW S1000RR which was quicker than a 1299s and a 2015 R1 on the same day.

Wont rutters race times be using the chicane on gerrards though which would add quite a few seconds

[Blade]

Not sure what you mean tbh D6 but the times we are quoting are his times testing road bikes for performance bikes mag.

[D6]

Ahh ok. I thought you meant equalled his best race times

They dont use the Gerrards Chicane for the PB tests as they are done on the Wednesday afternoon open pit track days.

no

ta ill take you up on that when it arrives

[Perkles]

The top 4 in the PB Rutter tests all have adaptive suspension ,says a lot for it imo

[Blade]

Best there is and definitely the future for sportsbikes.

All the reviews I have read have rated the Ohlins to be a better product than the Sachs suspension fitted to BMW'S.

I'm sure you will love the shock Perks it transforms the bike.

[Perkles]

mmmm gold,no idea where these wires go

[kiwikrasher]

Just guessing Perkles, but that loom with the bare wires just looks like an extra if your bike doesn't have the plugs and you have to hardwire it in? From what Blade was saying about fitting it, I'd say the ZX10R does have the plugs.. pure speculation on my part though, but I'm sure Blade would've mentioned having to splice in to the loom.

[Kwacky]

Are they the spares if you're running a race loom?
