    Appreciate that mate! I try to offer sensible advice on here

    Have you heard about trying the Link from a 636 or a 600 on your 04 ZX10, makes a huge difference to how they behave

    Get a link from an 04/5 600 and try.

    A much nicer feel, the standard one is way to orientated towards 2 up riding, ie, to hard in the first part of the stroke, causing severe wheel stands at partuall throttle, and low grip when cracking throttle open, remember when they first came out, journalist from all over the world were crashing them flat out.

    The difference causes a big difference in ride height though, so you must do a chassis messurement from sub frame to end of swingarm with current one in place, and then fit 600/636 link, and re set ride height back to current setting.

    This was the big discovery by Hawk Kawasaki UK 2 years back when they started getting results! Attack Kawasaki USA sell a trick looking link, but it is actually just an exact copy of the above ( Robbers)

    It also helps with streight line stabillity

    The other big thing for that or any other model ZX10, is to have some stearing head bearing rases? machined up with 1/2 a degree more off set ( ie Eccentric) for stabillity, rather exspensive that one though, probally cheaper and easier to take to Steve Bridge F1 Engineering and have the whole Stearing head raked out. As well as I must add! A dam good set up Ohlin's shock, that has been revalved for the ZX10 to be ridden hard.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
