    Welcome to the forum Mark
    We hear that the zxr's are not as plentiful in the UK as they are here in Oz. Plenty of zxr owners on this site so if you have questions, ask away! Look forward to some photo's of your ride, take it easy.:thumb_ups:

    thanks for all the replies, I paid 1000uk pounds for bike and few spares, very hard to find in the uk, love the bike already, had a few short rides and looking forward to learning more about this model as I am keeping her longterm hopefully with the help of your knowledge, thanks again for a great site.

    Hey Mark

    I was looking at your bike pictures in "The Garage" , those reasets look great, do they have a manufacturer stamped in them ? Also not running an airbox would be interesting, how does she run ?

    would like to hear a vid of her running, no airbox coupled with that exhaust...

    Chris

    i second the video of it running, looks awesome, that pipe looks like some sort of gp pipe, betting it is loud as f**k with exhaust and induction combo.

    I have added some more pics from under the tank, I will take a few videos of the bike running and riding in the morning and post

    As mentioned before I am new to this bike, all I know is it does run well, and sounds :) well, hopefully we can work though any mods together, will take a few videos, then think I need to check the carbs and jetting, see if there changed, etc
