Why I don't get a new bike to race.

THIS is why. Damn bike sat for a couple of months and ONE pilot jet plugged up. 4 hours, 10 million faseners and pieces taken off later, I found the carbs. I HATE new bikes! :e4 :banghead :e4

I've never seen the engine on my ZX10R, except for the sump-plug, and filter-pad. Someone changed the plugs once, but it wasn't me!! :lol: You people must have some really crap fuel over there..................!!??

'Course if it were your race bike, I'm sure you'd have made the carbs much more accessible by now... :lol:

So true, and the fairing comes off much faster.......

It just pissed me off, as I bought it to be my new "ol faithful" as the KZ needed a battery........ :lol: that thing would sit for years and would start. And the old ol faithful is more faithful than the new one...... :banghead :banghead :banghead

Hell, you have to remove the side cover to get to the petcock........... :roll:
