    No, but I'm having terrible trouble getting the front sprocket off, even with my rattle gun at full power. I've just ordered a $1k compressor, which should take care of it. MORE POWAH!!!

    I did too Marshy... secret was to take it to a local mechanic (automotive) an use their 3/4" drive rattle gun..Super cheap also have 750mm breaker bars which may help in getting it off..

    Yep, I believe that's where Godzilla works now that he's no longer making movies... tightening front sprockets at Kawasaki. Oggy and I gave it God knows how many tries with his suppa duppa compressor and got NOTHING. I tried it at home with a mate using an incredibly long lever and gave up 'cause it was starting to get too dangerous. Then had a certain green mechanic try it and even he struggled with it but managed to remove it in the end.

    The word on the street is 15-44 @ EC and 14-44 @ WP.

    Also, personally, I'd suggest to go with a 190 rear.

    Also, put some tank protectors on it... cheap insurance for a bike that has a tank almost as exposed as the R6's one.

    me too Jamie- need to have gearbox in Neutral... and stand on the rear brake (doesnt always hold) or place a 4x2 and rags throught wheel (prefer the brake with the big impact)....

    even after it has been removed, they are a bitch to remove....

    I prefer the 4x2 through the wheel with a rattle. I just use a 18v mikita cordless.. no space for kompressor.

    I also purchased some fold up levers.. keen for them to be fitted!!

  10. #60
    Yep. I'm all for parts that allow you to keep going... fold up levers and those folding toe pegs are a must if you tend to lean over your bike more than you should.

    And as soon as I sort out a 15A power point (didn't think of that when I ordered it....), I can fire it up!

    Sold it yet?

    Just finished up doing some tyre changes for some Tarmac lads, and then mounted the rear tail to the green meanie. The only thing left to do is glue the seat pad on, then it's ready to roll!! Photos tomorrow hopefully, if I can get the seat done.

    Besides, I need to make room in the shed....

    What can possibly be coming that would justify you 'make room' for by selling the Zed??

    Good idea. It wasn't until I rolled it out for the photos that I realised how odd the red stripes looked! They are nice, reflective stripes; good for the road but not so useful on the track.
