    skidMark's ZXR250A2 restoration project.

    Well as some of you know i threw a big end bearing and buggered my crank at the memorial trackday at taupo.

    and well with funds running too low for an engine at this stage.

    and my license gone for a long time.

    it's time to properly do up the zxr....bring her back to glory days.

    so here where i have ended up after today...

    what can i say...i got bored?

    me n my damn bright ideas.... lol

    kitset zxr anybody?...

    was meant to get it back in april some time but have been done for driving while disqualified.

    will leave it at that on the license front unfortunately....as i know what will happen if people go on and on about it....

    i don't know how to make it a big more unique...

    i was thinking a turbo....but thats a serious mission to figure that one out.

    Now all you have to do is find the motivation to put it back together again.

    Or else it's "FS: Big box of ZXR".


    Good luck with that ;P

    why not just make it 'mint' by doing it all properly - return it to pretty much stock with a nice kawasaki paint job, fix the engine, maybe get the ports polished if your gonna be stupid with it, get the valves shimmed and get all the clearances sorted.

    Get the suspension sorted, get the right wheels on it, get the brakes up to scratch, get a proper exhaust on it, get the engine bead blasted so it comes up like new.

    Don't go stupid on it, just do the basics to make it right, not unique - its a 250 ffs.

    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.

    Are you ready to sell it in parts? You'll surely get more than $1000 for all of em


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
