Doing up the ZXR...

[aff-man]

Update

Ok well the fork seals and oil have been replaced.

The leaking front brake has been fixed

The oil, oil filter and engine cover have been replaced.

Now I'm just saving for the brake disc's

What was wrong with the leaking brakes??
Gonna be summer before it's ready?

Just a loose bolt or something just as simple...

lol more than likely will be summer before she is done. As much as I'm dying to be back on two wheels, I don't mind waiting a little longer...

Still trying to save the $800 for new disc's & pads...

Flush mount indicators off TradeMe shouldn't be more than $60.

Then she is ready for the compliance and Rego test (another $400-ish)

Sam and I are also trying to save to go to the UK in a year, so my spare money is split in two and half goes into savings and the other half on the bike... which slows the whole process down, but thats ok

(Is kinda hoping to fix it up before November so Sam and I can get our full licenses on it, then sell it and buy me a 600 )

I have a ZXR750J2 that needs a good home
needs new clutch plates, one fork seal
new chain and some other stuff!
but the engine has been blue printed/
raced and hauls ass
it has a few cracks in the plastic
(it has served me well just need the room now
so i can finish my H1 tripple again)

If you post it up in Online Trading I'm sure someone will be keen to take it on as a project bike

[Madmax]

just thought you may like it cheaper than a 600
and you seem to be good at the project bikes
(If not ill just keep it i still have some pins and
shit in me from this bike,but still love it to bits)

Hahahahahaha she is good at getty lacky's to work on her bikes for her. hahahah.

How much for the 750?

[Brett]

When that bike is ready PF, we should get a group of us ZXR's together and go out for a bit of a celebratory ride. Hopefully i can have my other bike up and running also!

[Brett]

Aff-man - was that you i was following the other day up Pak highway? I am sure there can only be one helmet that yellow out this way! If it was you, you pulled outta Mobil the same time I pulled outa BP.
note* BP fuel is utter crap.

oh I missed your hint lol

Thanks for the offer but I've heard those 750's are hard to stunt (wants to get into stunting when I get my full)

Hahahahahaha she is good at getty lacky's to work on her bikes for her. hahahah.

I don't ask they offer... there is a difference

Yeah sounds like a good idea... but then all the other 250 riders might feel left out cause thier bikes are cuck (p/t).

ok... Got the indicators for the ZXR on Friday (went for the carbon fibre ones)

The ZXR is getting new brake discs and pads this week along with a small issues with the headlight being fixed. Should go in for Compliance and Rego by Wed/Thurs and if all goes well I should be able to ride it home on Friday...

Also waiting on a couple of quotes for a paint job... so if I get it painted it may take a week or two longer until I get it back...

*is so excited*

[R6_kid:Me]

so how much has it cost you so far to get it back to road readiness? And how much did you pay for it originally?

I paid $5000 for it originally (with all the mods on it already)

Got it back from the insurance co for free... plus my insurance payout of $5500.

In total I've spent approx (including whats been done to it at the moment):

New Aftermarket Blue Tinited Widscreen: $65
Windscreen Bolt kit in Anodised Blue: $20 not needed... just for bling factor
New Spark Plugs: $80
New Battery: $50
Clutch Adjuster Screw: $20
New top/front Fairing: $350
Subframe: $120
Instruments: $150
New Clutch lever: $15
Gear bracket/mount thingy: $60
New Engine Cover thingy: $40 not needed... just for bling factor
Engine cover Gasget: $15
Anodised blue fairing bolts: $30 not needed... just for bling factor
Carbon Fibre indicators: $60
New Fork seals and fork oil - $300 (approx inc labour)

^^ work done so far
Total: $1375

Work left to be paid for:

Brake Discs & Pads: $800
Compliance & Rego: $450-ish

Total so far: $2625

Additional Add-ons

Insurance: $629
Paint Job: $600 not needed... just for bling factor

Total cost of repairs: $3854

Note: These are the things I can remember, I may have missed some things out, but I don't think so

~~~~~~~

So all up the repairs of the bike, getting it road legal and looking pretty again comes $1000+ under budget

I've decided that due to me being able to get my Full License in November, I won't be blinging the ZXR up, I'm saving my money and ideas to bling up my 600 instead

G'day Placidfemme,

Where did you buy the brake discs?

[placidfemme]

G'day Placidfemme,

Where did you buy the brake discs?

Mt Eden Motorcycles in Auckland. Just standard discs. I was going to get some "wave" discs off trademe, but decided to save the bling bits for the next bike

[Flyingpony]

So when you get your 600, you'll be passing on your ZXR to Sam?
Or does Sam have other ideas?
