Thanks! One update on the suspension setting since this video was made is I started running 2.5 turns on the front forks tension (rebound) instead of 3 turns. But otherwise all else is the same.

Thanks for the good review and for watching!

Yes,totally agree,very informative and helpful tips,job well done.

LoL, yeah that nut is on tight. A good impact surely helps with that thing. On the suspension settings, I changed things a little since this video was made. I now run 2.5 turns rebound and 2.5 turns compression, but everything else is the same.

Thanks! Enjoy the new bike!

😄👍

That's awesome! Thanks!!!

Yes sir! Thanks for watching!

Yes Sir! Thanks for watching!

😆Thanks!

Nice! Good bike. Still have mine. They are good bikes for sure

lol. I should, and would. If more would come around. Hmm

@@UpAllNight91 🫨

Thanks man!

Nice. Dont think you will regret it. Still loving mine!

how much did you pay 4 it?

To add down low and midrange power on this particular bike... go with either 2 or 3 tooth up rear sprocket or 1 tooth down front sprocket.

surely minus one up front. But you can also add a tooth or two out back also. All depends on how high you can handle your cruizing RPMs on the interstate. Maybe start with cheaper used sprockets to try out different setups till you find your sweet spot?

It would be closer than stock for sure. Especially getting the rear end up some. They send them out so low in the rear and it really messes up the handling

What did you set your front pre load at?

2 years later and I'm needing the same info haha the fronts way too stiff and I'm not getting enough sag in front or back 😅 it's been a rough very responsive ride but whoever owned it last set everything basically to as stiff as the settings would allow

I would start there and then add preload little at a time to see how she feels. Find what works for you.

you surely want to take her up to 14000 RPMs if you want the most. Its hard to do in 1st gear without good throttle control because it will stand up, but by second gear and up you should be running her to 14000. The rev limiter is your friend, dont be scared to hit it, it wont hurt anything. Hold her open in second gear till you feel the rev limiter kick in and then you will know what shes all about and where the window of power is.

You can also adjust your shift light that's what it's intended for.

Hello. No. There is a adjustment behind the head light. It's been a while since I did it and dont remember exactly where it's at but it is behind the light and nothing needs to be removed to adjust it

can totally be done without adding the sag. But the rider sag is one of the more important things to address so I still highly recommend it.

I believe that the lap timer. So you can keep track of your lap times. I think its used in the track mode.

depends what you are looking for, but personally i would go with the kawi because it's plenty fast and really reliable

They are all great bikes. The 06 is a good looking bike, very fast for its time. A snappy motor. The suspension was softer in stock form. Great bike for the road with decent gear spacing for the road too. The 08 is sleeker than the 06, and once the 15 pound muffler is replaced for a aftermarket one it is lighter, sharper handling. And also a very snappy motor after a few bolt ons are added.. A little less bottom end power but more top end power than the 06. It has a shorter first gear which makes it easier to take off fast from red lights. Its kinda overall right in the middle of the 06 and 12. The 12 will be the fastest, especially once its unleashed with a ECU flash and a exhaust. But it does have a close ratio gear box that has a tall first gear so its good to change out the front sprocket down a tooth to help it pull easier from red lights. But once on the bubble the other too really can't keep up. Very strong and free revving top end pull but a little softer on the bottom and not as snappy, till its in the 9k to 14k range. Also the lightest of the bunch. Maybe not the best looking but surely my favorite to own out of the 3

You should grab it

Hello. Yes it is normal for the flathead in the middle to spin with the outer 12mm hex while adjusting the high speed. It won't change the low speeds setting while turning the high speed. But for peace of mind you can first adjust the high speed 12mm and then afterwards adjust the low speeds flathead

@@UpAllNight91 Thank you for the answer, I did, first high speed 12mm, then low speed, and finally - rebound in the hole in the motorcycle frame. BTW. it's nice if you recorded another episode, setting the headlamps, on YT I can't find anyone doing it in this Kawasaki, and probably many would be useful to see how to do it :)

@@kawosszz your welcome. Thanks for the idea too. I will probably put a video together on that in the next couple weeks ;)

I think its about the same as far as comfort

I used some LCD light strips that are on the left and right side of the license plate.

No they dont. However if you keep the traction control on the strongest setting it will only allow the front wheel to come up about 6 inches.

Hmm. Well I think the 11 to 15 will better satisfy you if you are looking for all out HP and power. But the blade will be better on the bottom end power and torque.

@@UpAllNight91 cheers bud, I ride steady on the roads but will do some track work. In just toen between pretty every f#ckng bike man.. blade zx10 06 R1 or RSV mille 08 factory. 😂😂😂😂😂 Fuck😂

@@jamesowen4360 lol. Feel ya there. Can we just own them all lol. Thats why I like to test ride every bike I can as I have the opportunity.

If I remember correctly it started as a Yoshimura branded mount. It was originally angled out, but I carefully angled it in toward the bike. Not sure if they even make them anymore.

u can't compare rr with 10r. go for rr.

If you want a quality reliable motorcycle then go with Kawasaki less maintenance= more time riding lower cost of ownership but if you want the flashy yolo bike then get the BMW just look up the top reliable motorcycle's and go with what you feel is the best option.

Chevy BelAir appreciate you both, I actually just picked up a Hayabusa Friday. I fit perfectly on that bike and it’s so comfortable, at least way more so than my R6 or R1.

@@jordanm9101 Damn congrats I picked up a 08 CBR1000RR a week ago and this thing is nuts it pulls like crazy. I can only imagine the attention it takes to ride a busa. Be safe out there bro

Chevy BelAir thanks and congrats to you too man! Yeah, the liter bikes and busas are a whole different world man. Crazy power and they pull at basically any speed. The busa is actually much more pleasant than I thought tbh. It is very smooth if your not getting on it, but when you twist the throttle, hold on . Lol

Honestly not sure if there are any. But I did wear out the shifter, it got all sloppy. And a fork seal gave out. But otherwise she's been great. 20k now

Depends on the area. But if shes in perfect shape and under 10,000 I would say 8k is fair. If between 10 to 20K miles but still prefect shape I would say 6.5 to 7K.

@@UpAllNight91 I paid 5700$ for 2011, no ABS and 1400miles. :)

@@nebojsatanasic4112 no way, that's an awesome deal dude, good for you. Enjoy it

Yes sir! Thanks for watching!

yes, one turn is a complete rotation.

Good information on set up

I'm 200lbs 6.1 same clicks

LoL. I don't make the laws. And often laws don't make sense

@@UpAllNight91Yeah it's not on you, it's just a funny law that doesn't make sense. Hey do you know if there's an ABS dongle for 2011-2015 ZX10's or is it only for the 2016+ models? Can't see any online for the 11-15 models

@@__Max-oe6zm LoL. Yeah it doesnt. Hmm I dont know about the dongle, havent looked into them

Thats a good point too. I do remember my R1's from the mid 2000s had two low beams and then most other sport bikes only using one low beam. Hmm. Guess it comes down to if you need more light or not. For me I can hardly see the road on the ZX with low beam only, but I do know your right someone could mistaken it for a car way out.

He is talking from the crank.

That rear light a a OEM style that is smoked. I found ot on ebay for like 40 bucks

Thanks!
