zx10r 04 vs 05
« on: March 09, 2008, 07:55:41 PM »
Hi to all,just been out for blast on my new purchase (zx10r 05 in the rare titanium colour) and my brother in law on his (zx10r 04 in that common black colour) and he seems to have better acceleration at low speeds almost if his gearing is different. is this the case or am i just more frightened of this thing than he is?And the buggers fatter than me!!!!

Only way to check the gearing is to count the teeth on the front and rear sprocket mate

welcome to the forum buddy glad to have you aboard  :icon_thumleft:

answer to your question ... its probably just you need to get used to it.... even a slightly tunes zx10r to a non tuned one there is not much in it.....

mate when you pull of short shift at about 9 thousand revs and then pin the fucker hard till it stops then do it through all the gears and you will see the power of the ten  :headbang:
