just bear in mind if they fit wrong they can do more harm then good in a crash and with you doing track days you WILL crash ask phil i would rather play it safe and try before you buy but its your call

what tyres do you want ? whats your riding style ? what size tyres i can see by your signiture the bikes a bandit right? read that post makes me think you need to read up on tyres there is a vast amount of tyres out there that are for different riding styles and bikes! Stu

dont know and i have tried it in leathers only i didnt count while i was sliding

what model zxr is it ? is it the H or the L i may have a manual for you

forgot to mention that bit also make sure you use good fitting tools as the screws are really soft!

cant get a haynes for the zxr 400 but its easy enough tank off airbox off remove carbs remove float bowls on bottom of carbs and clean with carb cleaner

carbs will need cleaning as they will be gummed up from fuel common problem on the zxr400

also remember that 2 strokes are prone to killing plugs over night so it might be a case that you need a new plug and no it shouldnt be wet

well if the plug is wet then first of all it will need drying out take it out and put a naked flame to the end for a bit stick plug in and try starting has the bike been stood for a while? It could be that the carb is gummed up and no fuel is getting through

have you let the bike warm up fully ? the gsxr 400 can be a bit of a pig when cold also i would buy a full seal kit for the carbs because as you say the rubbers do perish and they run crap no harm in doing them

i have a datatool s4 fitted to mine but your talking £350 maybe more!! yes they can bring your insurance down but never enough to warrant the alarm!! mine was already fitted so i cant complain edit: if your bikes worth it fit a tracker they start at £199 with a yearly subscription of £60 these do bring insurance down

gutted

sounds like the starter motor is jammed to me! stick it in gear and rock it back and forth that usually free's them if no luck you may have to remove the starter and check it out

well said bill

your supposed to change the lot together as they wear together the chain would cause premeture wear on the new sprockets

and check chain tension as that can cause clunky gears

what bike is it ?

i got my bike as a toy and thats it i have a car for everyday use!

its the manufacturers of the brake fluid guide brake fluid is hydroscopic (absorbs water) so should be changed every two years because of this!

this is your service intervals http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1phYYAmabMqZ1P_4ZqBIr__BGQctTtc6kdoZbGzxz7Mf3wB28RkV6OltTSS-BQANkPSoyFof2Skz0aCZRoxV1CZw/1.03.jpg?psid=1

no you wont need to! remove calipers remove pads while calipers are off give them a good clean up brake cleaner helps! install new pads reverse of removal you will need to push the pistons back then fit calipers simple! if you dont know how long the fluid has been in you could change it im sure there is a write up of how to do that on here

replace old spark plug and see if power comes back!! i have known "new" plugs to be duff

you will get a little less contact patch at full tilt but not sure you will notice too much difference i know of people racing using that size tyres!

One person's shite is another persons dinner! its not my dinner i have a ham and cheese sarnie!! i wont be attending vicki as i will be in sunny spain bit gutted to be honest
