Ok i know these question must have been asked a million times so bear with me........

Im looking into getting a 04-05 zx10r in the next few months so can someone tell me:

- Common problems?
- Any recalls?
- Im told a steering damper is a must, any other common mods?
- Anything to avoid?
- There isnt a hyanes for it is there so is the factory workshop manual comprehensive enough?
- Any other important info?

Thanks

check the frame spars for damage, especially under the tank along the top and bottom seams as they split in an accident

steering damper yes a must really

no problems that I can recall so just the usual stuff realy and there factory manual is fine, there's a pdf upload on the site too  

the only recall I remember is the front wheel on the c1H (2004)

with regard to mods there are plennty and the next after a steering damper is a Brembo master cylinder for the front brake  


and yes GRNINJA has a lovely one for sale

Looking at getting 1 of these in a few months too, so will be keeping an eye on this thread!

Just read this months PB and they say the 04/05 10R is THE best kawasaki ever made!!!!!!!!!

some good tyres won`t go a miss, and if your a small fella you would need to look at getting a new shocker to soften er up a bit.........

but like everyone else has said GRNINJA has a top bike for sale and it has all the bit and bobs allready on it,,,,,,,,,

For me it would be the usual , service history and as zx10rbob said, a good set of tyres are needed on the 10

Check out Glenns bike

The black one's have more ponies
