    NO this will not be an end to your problems.

    Bits don't usually break like that - something caused it, lean mixture, poor mechanical condition, wrong plug, wrong ignition timing, a severe thrashing - you name it. Until the root cause is identified and rectified you will continue to break bits. A fresh top end is not a new engine - go carefully until you understand what happened.

    what paul said. Things as a rule don't "just happen"
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    after kicking about on the zzr for the past 2 weeks (have not done much riding) i still feel that style of bike is not me at all i feel awkward and unstable on a sports/tourer so even after a test ride i reckon the new ZX will feel the same.....

    did spot an intruder looking all sexy brand new plus its a twin none of the single crap ive put up with so far, and im yet to hear anything bad about them....
    I've learnt to hide the pain inside, open the throttle and ride away.

    Yes, indeed.

    Ma'am needs to progress her full licence post-haste, and then consider the purchase of a C50 Boulevard. 800cc of manageable V-twin grunt for $11,995 brand new at your local Suzuki dealer.

    (Although its dry weight is about 20kg more than Betty's! A very low CoG should help your little legs to manage that, though.)

    M50 isn't it?
    "I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.
