FS: ZX10R

Right, my minds made up:

Black ZX10R C1H on an 04 plate. 4500k. FSH. Micron carbon can (+ spare
Micron with slight cosmetic damage + unmarked original), power commander
III, K&N Air Filter, Tail Tidy, Scottoiler, CNC'd alumium exhaust hanger, 10
months warranty remaining. Good BT014's fitted. Front wheel recall done. All
original parts come with the bike. £6400.00

Drop me a mail if interested. No timewasters or test pilots.

 

oooh, forgot to mention it has a Toby steering damper fitted as well (turned
out to be quite good once I got the mounting bracket modified so it stayed
together).

There, that should clinch a deal for me

 

Location?

Alos was the "slight cosmetic damage" due to a previous crash?

 

I might consider a swap.

 

Molly says...

I'd keep the Gixer, unless there was money coming my way too.

 

Molly says...

What was the K1, 2002/03? £5800 tops. I don't know much about Gixxers but
having ridden a mates 750 I'd stick with my 10.

Anyway, I appreciate the interest but swaps are out of the question, unless
it's a brand new KTM 640 Duke II with a bit of cash on top

 

My Gixxer, a full tank of petrol and a 50 pee coin on the top of the tank.

 

lol

 

K1 ranges from late 2000 (Y plate?) when it was launched to mid-2002
when the last were being registered. Mine, for example, is a K1 but
registered April 2002 on an 02 plate. The K2s were already out by
then.

 

Ben says...

About the same as mine then, Mine was registered in May 2002. I wasn't
sure if mine was a K1 or K2 when I bought it. Hog had bought it as a K2
with K2 bodywork fitted and registered it in Northern Ireland as such.
The DVLA offices in Coleraine in NI had it down as a K2 on the V5, but
it came back as a K1 when I imported it back into England. I checked
the VIN against the Suzuki database and it is definitely a K1. I
suppose that saves me trying to buy new bodywork to replace the
immaculate K1 stuff that Hog fitted after his crash.

 

It's in Norwich, sorry. No, the damage was due to a lampost jumping up
behind me as I wheeled it backwards out of my Sisters driveway. Caught the
end can square on and put a dent in the carbon sleeve where the bracket goes
round. I was going to sell it as a track can as it's still perfectly
serviceable. The bike has never been crashed or dropped.

 

Simple way to check is to look at the original link pipe on the
exhaust. If it's black it's a K1, if it's shiny silver it's a K2.

 

Ben says...

Really? Mine's got a stainless link pipe, but it is most definitely a
K1. That's one of the reasons I was dubious about my bike's heritage,
but I have K2 style mirrors as well so who knows or really cares.

It's 3 years old now and modified in other ways, so all that goes out
of the window now.

 

Doesn't really matter, other than paint work and little things like
that there was bugger all difference between them.

 

......my present fashion item is out of date I want the new colour scheme.

 

Molly says...

Yes, no difference between one UJM and another.

 

Wow, with a new go faster stripe they really went to town updating that bike
making previous models 50% less in value, Ha!

 

What's your problem, ****?

 

I believe you have answered your own question there, and I concur with you.

Actually there were quite a few imoprtant none visual changes. The
two most important were the anti judder spring fitted to the clutch on
the K2. Apparently the K1 clutches had a tendancy to grenade but I've
never heard of one.

The K1 also knackers the 'O' ring in the TPS due to fuel contamination
off the rail. This was fixed for the K2 but you're highly unlikely to
experience this anywhere other than on the track.
