Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Kwacky I'd seriously consider changing the ratio, best and cheapest mod I've ever done. Free if you're changing the sprockets anyway.
I've got a spread sheet that works it all out if you want. I just need the model and year to get the gear box ratios and peak power rpm

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
The gearing on the kwak is pretty spot on for me. There's a decent amount of grunt for a 600 and she spins up pretty quick.

Spent all day, cleaning, packing and organising parcels of bike bling.
Its been like a goods despatch depot here today.
Hopefully the reverse will be true next week and it will be like a goods inwards dept here, with new parcels of bike bling arriving

I'm taking it to Mike after work to get the chain and sprockets replaced. He's staying open late for me. That's top service.

Froze my nads off riding back from Mike's. Minus 3 on unlit country roads is loads of fun.

Good job I took it to Mike. It took him about 20 minutes to get the front sprocket off using a range of pneumatic tools and some external heat. My bike looked pretty cool having loads of smoke pouring off it.Blade wrote:

You could get a new one for that on 0%

I'm sure Kawasaki Direct would drop the price if you told them you're tempted by the DK bike.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Got a few grand of extras on that DK bike and guest that's the attraction and hence slightly higher price tag compared to new deals.
What did that special zx6r go for you had Kwacky that was a very nice bike.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I can't remember what I paid for it. It was under £7k but 600s were cheaper then.
