What I DON'T like about the Kawasaki ZX10!!

THIS is how we are able to build and give away this bike:
wbrgarage.com
Over the months I spent building this Kawasaki ZX-10r from being wrecked to what the bike is now I have realized some pain points with it. Before we ship it off to its new owner I wanted to make a video talking about what I didn't like about the bike.
Have a ZX-10? Let me know if you agree or disagree with me in the comments!

@@airtylerb well we got our answer. Bike was supposed to keep all the stock power in check with stock credentials. But boosting them up and and adding better stuff probably won’t work anymore

@airtylerb Жыл бұрын

@@Anonymous-jj9yu All he did to boost the engine performance was an intake upgrade (I think), exhaust upgrade, cat delete (I think), and a ecu flash with new fuel map and tune. To my knowledge he basically set it up to utilize the engines full potential. It was no secret that the bike was going to be heavily modded beyond stock.

The on-off feeling of the throttle is so accurate. The ZX6R is the same way. You go from having no power to suddenly being at like 15% power and then back to 0 if you let off the throttle. It makes it very sketchy to adjust the throttle at all in a turn because you might completely cut it off and then if you open the throttle a little it suddenly will jump forward instead of slowly accelerating again. My Yamaha's throttle felt much smoother and more linear.

1st and 2nd gen zx-10r bikes are polarizing. However much throttle you give it, that's how much power you're gonna get. No power modes. No KTRC. RAW. POWER. That's why I like my 06 zx10r. It's a raw machine. I've become adjusted to twitchy throttle. Everything is manageable with time and experience.

If the Graves tune for the ZX-10 is anything like the Graves tune for the R6, I believe that tune is setup for the track. I flashed my ‘17 R6 with with their tune after installing a full Graves exhaust and the bike was unrideable on the street. The throttle was either on or off just like you described. I flashed it back to stock and took the bike in for a dyno tune and it’s amazing now. You might try that and feel differently about the power delivery afterwards.

Because of storage issues, I can't have both bikes right now and sadly, I need get rid of one. So the R1 is likely to go :( Now I'm thinking to sell my 2010 650 and my 2018 R1. I'm looking ot use that money towards byuing a 1000cc sportbike that I can also live with everyday. My top choices right now are the ZX-10R SE, the S1000RR (also looked at the CBR1000RR and GSX-R). Any suggestions? I know that if I go for the ZX-10R i will REALLY miss the instrument panel the R1 Has.... I will mis that blue monster!

of course it's got a lot of power... it's literally a superbike. smooth means you need to work the clutch. The turning radius thing? gotta lean against the bike. The EBR I have is similar. You learn to be a lot smoother. And once the speed sensor goes out (HATE), the traction control stops working right since it senses sudden changes in speed. Turn that off, and you learn real quick how to feel what the bike's doing under you.
