Hi All
Back on a bike after a long break thanks to the generosity of the brother giving me his 03 Kawasaki zxr 636. (a model i think). Bike will be stored for the winter but i need to get a few things done to it before the summer when cash allows (valve clearance, repair small fairing crack and a good clean and polish). It is due new break disks (Jan according to the brother) on the front and when i price them on Buster they are about £153 pounds each. While i wait on Lee Honda to get to me on a price is there any point trying to source these part second hand ?.
Many thanks :thumbsup2:

I have a ZZr1100
I checked the manual for the correct grade of oil and it says…
"Engine Oil:
Grade SE, SF, or SG class
Viscosity SAE 10W-40, 1OW-50, 20W-40, or 20W-50"

Does this mean I can use any of these or, or , or what?:unsure2::unsure2::unsure2:

Does anyone know where I could source the following?

I have two of these THK rod ends on a gear shift rod and I’ve split the rubbers that were holding some grease around them. (Could probably do with replacing one as it’s a bit rusty). My local engineering crown have the rod end but no rubber boot. Anyone know where I could get both or just the rubber boots?

Also I’m looking for an exhaust can mount bush for a zx10r. It’s the mount that goes inside the pillion footpeg. Might try some breakers but if anyone knows what else might do the job? I could probably make something rough myself….I’ts O.D. 19mm and the I.D. of the sleeve doesn’t really matter I suppose as long as I can get a bolt to fit it.

Looks like my head gasket is blown on the gpx
any idea how difficult/expensive a job it is to repair or am I looking at a big pile of yellow scrap? :lbhbh::bag:

Have a honda 50 there that has had a top end rebuild and carb cleaned
Starts fine but when it gets up to temp the idle is all over the place. Ive striped carb twice and full sure it aint that. Anyone any ideas cherrs:thumbsup2:

Hi all just got a braided clutch cable, it’s longer than normal at 68ins, but was charged £80 sterling, would that price b about right, if anyone knows,

Is there much benifits to fitting one of these ?

Where can I get a good one locally? way’s wanted one for the tool box.
