When you change the sprockets mate it will make a huge positive improvement to the bike.

How do you find the throttle response ?

The fueling and response is silky smooth,I find it a very easy bike to ride,I still can't get my head around how small it feels
I am looking forward to the Wales run in May

I can't afford to buya zx10r, so you're going to have to wait for me to catch up.

Yeah it is small but I reckon my blade felt even more like a 600 if I'm completely honest.

You got the arrow zorst yet ?

If yes you need to get that bad boy on and let the big ten roar

I think this Wales ride will be just full of new bikes now!!

Not a zx10r but a simply stunning Kawasaki all the same

Not me Rossgo, I'll still be on my 2008 r1 and sorry to say Perckles it's still very loud

no not yet they haven't even dispatched it they seem to be dicking me around

That's bad news mate. Drop them an email and hopefully things get sorted out asap.

I might cancel through ebay they won't even reply to my emails
Where in the UK can I buy one ? I've searched but came up with nothing

Sorry to hear this mate. Didn't mean to give you a bum steer they were great with me but sounds like I was lucky.

Cheapest in the uk by far are these guys.

I don't think you can cancel if you're still within the delivery window. Check the ebay listing.

I'm probably being impatient,they said dispatch within 10 days that was 10 days ago.how long does it take to put a bloody exhaust in a box and post it,I don't believe they stock the items but take your money then order them

rode over to Mikes today to get my sprockets changed,I went the long way via my test route.I can only repeat that the motor pulls hard ,very hard now it's had its gearing lowered.A great cheap mod,thanks for the heads up Blade it's made the mid range much more sprightly
I am getting used to the gearbox and having never ridden a bike with a slipper clutch love being able to bang it down the gears barreling into a corner,the bike just stays rigid no bobbing or weaving it's just planted
Another thing is the handling ,I went on one of my knee down islands and tried accelerating de celerating with my knee down,the bike just takes it in its stride and stays settled.Realy impressed how you can dick about on it and it stays solid as a rock.I still think it feels and handles like a 600 and can't wait to get it on track
Hopefully my new back box and cat delete pipe will be here for the Wales ride ready to unleash a bit more power in the mid range
I am liking this bike a lot

Nice work perkles sounds like your enjoying the green beast and the mods are making it even better. How does it compare to the rc8.

It quite honestly pisses all over it in every department including build quality,I'm so glad I changed

I told you to abuse that slipper clutch

How's Mike?

He spent an hour gassing and twenty minutes on my bike
