kawasaki zzr 400 ideal first bike

Hi this is the auction for my first "big bike" I bought after passing my test a year ago.

I bought it cheap needing a clutch . wrong!!!!!

It ended up being limped to my instructors house and having :-

a clutch (cork and metal plates)

New wheel bearings front and rear

Cush drive bearing

Brake pads (2x front sets and a rear)

Plugs . motul oil. filter

2x Pirelli diablo rosso 2 tyres

I have all the receipts for al the parts !!!

When we put it all together it also needed a clutch release arm which came from Kawasaki!

I rode it home and decided to nip up the rocker gasket.

I snapped a bolt in the head so off it went to a mechanic who did that . fitted a new rocker gasket. new plug gaskets and new motul oil (in case of contamination!) he also cleaned and balanced the carbs -  they need doing PROPERLY as I did a better job of balancing them ( 50 quid or you can youtube home carb balancing)

since then I have done 1000 miles and it passed the mot with one advisory that the front mud guard was loose ( its done !)

It has served its purpose to me and I hope someone else can use it as I did to gain experience ( without spending the money I have!)

it has a 4 into 1 exhaust with a "custom can" as I got some guy to weld me a shortened steel tube and I fitted the cut down baffles and my end parts ( don't look the prettiest but sounds good)

It has mot till july 4th this year

12v socket fitted

It has the original red key

Theres a spare cdi unit

Have all the mots since 2010

bonny blue lights over the back wheel (dont worry they have a switch!)

Starts first time and when warmed up is nippy and goes well and stops well.

it is now de restricted as when I got it it wouldn't rev past 10k but as per a zzr forum I fitted a resistor.

It aint the bonniest bike the fairings are split and cracked in  lots of various places. there is tape on various lenses( passed mot ok though!) the passenger mirror is missing. the seat must be ripped as it was taped up like that when I bought it.

I didn't replace the spark plug leads/caps and they could probably do with replacing

the clocks show 82k BUT they aren't the originals as it would have been in kilometres and the clocks been changed for miles an hour ones.

it really is rough and ready and 23 yrs old  but  at 100 per year to insure it has done what I have wanted and now I want something a bit bigger  (I am 6'3" and 19 stone )

its basically ready for someone  without a mega budget who has maybe just passed their test to buy and get some experience on!!!

IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!

Please don't p*ss me about!

I aint posting it to abu dabi as a present to your husband

I aint swapping for a camel or massive cheque

I have no interest in another wife !!!!!!!
