Just what the world needed. Another skinny white boy on a gixxer. :whistle:
Nah seriously mate. Nice one. Sell that other one fast. Or people will think you're building a collection of 600s.
Good to see you resisted the temptation to go up in size.
Enjoy the gixxer.

The front wheel did come off the ground when i wacked open the throttle in first, didn't notice till i went to change into second :whistle: :devil2: :devil2:

f'n excellent.
You're a REAL street hooligan now.
Anti-social behaviour comes as a result of Suzi whispering sweet nothings into your ear...
"What was that, Suzi? Do a wheelie? Aww shucks, Suzi, I dunno...OMFG, what am I talking about, I'm already doing one..."
*bangs head against wall*
...must...stop...her sweet...siren...voice...
*met in white coats tighten straight jacket straps and administer tranquilizers*

Shot Aff, exact same model I first started racing on. Awesome bikes, only thing I'd check is the cam-chain tensioner as some of these bikes had a problem with them incorrectly tensioning the chain. Might still have a manual at home for it too.
Welcome to the family.

Needs a steering damper but other than that it goes pretty fecking awesome. Just need to get my gear changing right and i'll be away laughing. So give me a few more Km under my belt and i might just be chewing on your tailfeathers aye.

hope so ;)
Try playing with the settings before getting a damper, then go out get a damper.. I'm just starting into the relm of damper settings, so if you want, I'll let you know how I go, and could even help as I go.. It's a cheaper way to start, then if it gets set right, and you're still getting lively, then get a damper too. That's pretty much the way I'm gonna go.. probably will get one, but only to take the harsh edge off

See i already have one but it has a zxr400 clamp so i just might get another clamp. But yeh i need to fiddle with the suspension settings so that i am no longer bouncing off the seat when i hit a small bump aye :violin: :violin:
but yeh if you find out how to make her sit more tight that would good. Death gave me some good tips so i'll do a few of those and then see what happens :Punk:
oh and fecking oats the front end comes up so fast under power in first :devil2: :devil2: so what's your excuse you've got another 15 odd horsies on me :rofl: :rofl:
