abt the settings of the suspension , i tink im gonna try coz i juz dnt feel right for the handling my zx4 ... i tink its too hard on the back suspension ... can any1 feel same as me ?? or i tink mayb im still nt use to it :giddy: :giddy:

Zasper, I read that ZXR400 has got a hard rear suspension as standard... and cos it's abt 160kg, if you break too hard stepping on the brakes, there's a tendency to lock the rear as well more easily than other bikes :giddy:

True. But look at the brighter side. You can have a sharper turn, Better grip in corner with correct setting of damping. Currently i'm my rear damping is set to 4.

And i'm 90kg. Bring me out of a corner perfectly. No Dips no drift.

What i'm saying is learn your bike. Set it to you and your style.

The rear shock is overly damp by nature. maybe you like to set your Laden sag to your weight and set the rebound damping to 1st click to give you a plush ride.

Naturally, this is just my opinion and of course, I could care less what you think.

Then what is the recommended front and rear suspension setting for a 60kg rider? And I'm below 1.6m...the bike can be lowered right?

Oh..and what type of rings do you recommend for the ZXR400? Rk? Did? O or X or other types if available? What's the price ranges and how long do they last?

motorworld... not a big fan of LAB. their workmanship is questionable....

I see... :smile:

So the ZXR400 runs well with a DID X-ring.... er. how much does one cost? What length?

Dun worry about the length buddy... they'll cut according to your need. Chain size no worries too, this is one thing our bike that's not odd... haha

 

I really forgot about the cost... but cannot compare to normal chain. X-ring is so good they hardly give me any prob despite the fact that I always forgot to oil them. And it last longer too... I always believe in spending good money for longer run on moving parts.

Thanks! Will take note on this...

What are the most wear and tear parts on this bike besides tire and bike chain?

Chain size is 525/120 for stock can cut down no prob.

But after market sprockets are usually 520/120 even the sun brand(Chiong one)

I myself using 520 D.I.D X-ring. with rental rear and afam front. 1st year and still smooth and not much slack at all.

Meaning DID X-ring can use more than a year is it? How many km you travelled since changing? And you are lacer type rider or commuter type? Hahaa :sweat:
