Just over a year for me for my 1st off resulting in staved wrist and dislocated thumb.

Then had another 4 days later resulting in some broken ribs

Not had any more since that though.

That was back in 2015

Hi all seem to be having a problem with downshiftinh on my 1989 ZX10.

When going down the box sometimes im having to push the gear lever 2,3 sometimes 4 times to get it into gear.

Its fine going up the gears.

Any ideas what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance

Cookstown 100 highlights was on BBC NI last night at 22:35.

NW200 highlights this weekend

Defo sounds like its the Can Chain Tensioner.

Famous on the CBR600.

I replaced mine with an APE manual CCT when i had my old CBR and never had a problem again with it.

I done my CBT, never rode for about a year. Took a refresher lesson on a 125cc then just booked DAS and passed 1st time.

Have not mate.

Didn't even think of wemoto there and i used them a good few times.

Ill check on there and the other one.

Thanks

Ill try phone a few dealerships tomorrow and see what the score is as there is no Kawasaki dealerships in glasgow that i can visit.

That was the only 1 on ebay i could find. None from uk sellers

Haha just changed that there

Ill get that ordered up then and see how it goes

Would this be what id buy mate?

Not 100% sure if its the tap itself or if its at the tank as ive not had the tank off yet.

Ive saw a wee drip coming from the bottom of the tap but could be running down.

Just wondering whats most common oart to leak on them.

Hey guys and girls,

Got a small fuel leak from my petcock on a 1989 ZX10.

Really want to get this sorted as soon as possible.

Any ideas what would most likley be leaking?

Would it be the gasket?

Bill the Biker on Alexandra Parade is a great guy for working on your bike.

Stevie Brierton aswell but to be honest with you, he is an arrogant c*** and basically if he cant be bothered he will just fob you off.

Girders in Airdrie (just outside glasgow) are great aswell.

WheeliePro Mechanics are a mobile company in Glasgow. (Find them on facebook) pretty good reputation. Im sure its my mate's pal that owns it.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Ill get it looked at and try to get it sealed and fixed.

Failing that ill be looking for a new tank.

Looking for a bit of help here folks.

Got a 1989 ZX10 and recently it seems to be leaking fuel. Not had a chance to get the tank off but pretty sure its the tank itself thats the problem. Looks like there is a bit of rust bottom left hand side of the tank and its been a bit damp and its directly under that that the drips are landing on and dripping down..

Question is, whats the best way to repair it if it is the tank?

Been told liquid metal but have no idea how to use it lol

Not sure what the pads are as they were on it when i bought the bike.

I might need to buy a new set then.

What causes them to glaze up?

I have a 1989 ZX10 and when im braking in wet conditions the front brake seems to be very dodgy at slowing me down (not the greatest when coming off the motorway onto the slip road) Pull the brake and the bike feels like its not gonna stop and takes a fair bit of distance until it does. However, in the dry they are bang on.

Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

The pads and discs have loads of life left in them

Thanks

Thanks mate. Ill check them out.

Got a wee problem with my 1989 ZX10.

My fuel gauge doesnt seem to work too good.

Fill the tank the gauge goes to full, after around 80-90 the gauge shows empty even though i still have around another 90 miles of fuel before need to switch to reserve.

Any ideas what could be the problem with the gauge?

Also my temp gauge doesnt work at all.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Lovely machine

Looking for a PDF version of this (free) if anyone has any links to 1 please.

Wore a pair of winter gloves i got brand new when taking my dog a walk or on my pedal bike during the winter to loosen them off a bit.

I usually lean the bike against railings to check oil level buf closest thing yesterday was my car lol

Checked it today on level ground and its about 1/2 cm above top level but never had the problem today going to work.

Wee bit white smoke til bike warmed up then clear.

Im thinking i may have over filled it mate.

It does smell a bit oily.

Has only started since i topped up today.
