not bad it only took 2 weeks

when was the last oil change? ive known old oil make an engine noisey!!
-
sounds to me like you have tightened the chain too tight and when the tightest spot comes round its making the noise! Ive had this before on a bike try loosening it off a bit personally i dont like tight spots on a chain and i replace chain and sprocks ASAP! But without seeing it its hard to say if it needs replacing
-
just because its ticking it doesnt mean its fudged! So you havent destroyed YET!!! You need to know where the noise is coming from top bottom left right clutch casing rocker cover etc etc if i was you i would strip the fairings and tank off maybe even the air box suspend the tank so you can run the bike but still get in and listen for the sound

theres nothing stopping you putting a thread up rather then waiting

Is that wise, exposing the tyre compound to excessive heat. a radiator is not excessive heat!! you would be surprised how much heat you get in them riding on a hot summers day
-
i would ring for a quote on a new set if they are too expensive get the ones off ebay
-
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

What are the times on textile and leathers?
Stu replied to Heff's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
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
