For Sale--Mella Yella --ZXR400

[FROSTY:Me]

Its with a sad heart Im selling Mella Yella My ZXR400 Race bike.
Some up and coming racer is going to get a ready to ride/race bike.
I've poured a truckload of money and time into this bike.
Just to recap the past few months.
1) purchaced from motoracer for $2000 as a bike used for the odd track day.
It came with glass fairings already but was a bit of a mess.
2) cosmetics stripped off and repainted
3) several broken brackets replaced or rewelded. a multitude of new brackets manufactured.
4)Front suspension stripped out and rebuilt,steering head bearings replaced.
swingarm and rear suspension removed and all pivots cleaned and relubricated.
5)engine removed and stripped down, Clutch rebuilt.
Bore honed,crank and little end bearings checked. piston crowns polished.New rings fitted, Head stripped out and totally decarboned,3 face cut on all valves.some valves replaced.All valve guide seals replaced
6) carbs stripped out and rebuilt. rejetted -x about 10
7) total loss ignition fitted. standard charging system still available
8) GPR70 tyres used front and rear.
9) Front brakes stripped and rebuilt New brake pads fitted.
10) new sprockets/chain fitted. different gearing aranged to suit different tracks.
11) cooling system opened up for better cooling.
12.instrument cluster rebuilt for better instrument visibility.
13) It came with a free flow exhaust system and muffler but its since been tuned for better flow.
14 as at today it has a brand new set of GPR70's on it .
Thats the stuff I can remember but theres heaps more.
Theres a few guys that can testify to how strong and reliable the bike has become.other than a bit of teething trouble with the total loss and swapping batteries.
The handling seems to be spot on for a learner racer. Very forgiving.
Oh and I haven't disturbed the subframe or wiring loom so It could arguably be turned back into a kickass road bike. -probably the fastest zxr400 on the road.
Shit I cant go On .
If anybodys interested Give me a call.

[ajturbo]

another reason for me to get a job

[FROSTY:Me]

Its ripping my bloody heart out -Ill take the bastard bit on board though.

[manuboy]

i'd buy it, but how much would i have to "detune" that to qualify for buckets?

sorry you have to do it...

[FROSTY:Me]

probably detune it a lot more than a sv1000

[FROSTY:Me]

I couuld imagine a yella bike pulling alongside a 600 rider and dissapearing into the distance.

[Posh Tourer :P]

[FROSTY:Me]

Ohh i'm sure I'll sort summat out. maybee some KB member will lend me a bike -Yea right

WHAT THE HELL?????? What about the mods that you had planned ?????

[gav]

Ummm, for those who havent followed this saga from day one, howabout some info as to what model you have and how much you think you want for it. Fastest ZXR ehh, you are sadly mistaken there, boyo, the fastest ZXR lives in the South Island AKA ex Andy Bolwell, now owned by some young lad in Greymouth ! Anyway got any decent pictures of it? Is it an H model?

shit dude you need to learn to read,
I put fastest 400 on the ROAD. Andys bike will never be back on the road its a race only bike now. Mine could still go back on the road -its still got all the wiring loom.
It started out life as a stock ZXR400 h --1989

Yea well We will see what happens now.I've got a couple of months before the street races then were back into full on racin at Taupo/ pukie.
Without givin a lot away I bought mella Yella not sure If I even could race.
Now i've decided that I need to reevaluate what bike /class I should be racing in.

Anyone interested in getting Frosty's race bike, here is a complete extra frame/subframe/swingarm assembly for it with $60 reserve:

A little bit of a dent in the frame from a tank slappper but doesn't look too bad.

I guess it goes without saying that if a KB member buys the bike my gargre would be available for assistance for normal pre raceday servicing and so forth
