Has anyone changed their brake pads on their ZX10?

Hi Aqualung,

 

Maybe you want to try this out:

The brake pad is CM55.

 

If you want to know more, check with PasirRis. Price around $180-$200, the shop I need to check with Pasirris if you really want. Good feedback from many riders b/c of the high temperture without fading.

Today i call evershine for the price of the original brake pads.

 

They quote me $100 for the rear and say more exp for the front.

 

Even ebc and dp are not that exp.

 

I would rather use the aftermarket ones.

hi, i've been bitten by the zx10 bug recently and have looked up some reviews on the bike in the internet and mags. it's a fantastic bike and just a little heavier than the xz6 and is a very light 1L bike. however, a few reviews did say it is an expert's piece of equipment given the power. but it is good news that alex is getting used to the bike after a 2 year absence.

 

i would also like to find out from zx10 riders if they feel comfy(wrists and lower back especially) when they go up north(till KL and back?)

 

it was great to know about the FI sensor issue. will look it up. keep the technical discussions coming in!

I wonder all ZX10 owner all no.plate also 10

Saw two ZX10 with no.plate 10 laio.

One is FX10 other FY10.So who is FZ10???

No problem.

Maybe you are the chosen one. Get her & put the FZ10R on it.

Hi Speed,

 

Actually who is that ZX10R? Issit your friend or some stranger that you meet on the road. It depends on the rider rather than the bike, the bike only give you a better advantage if you are a dare devil.

 

I still have a lot to learn from those season riders who is on the track. My balls isn't that big but I just want to get the best value of the price I paid for. Well, I love those slippery clutch. I didn't ride for quite a while so when I first ride this bike, I also takes a few weeks to adjust to the bike. Beside that, the Ninjas gave me a lot of advice on body posture, brakes & etc. Glad that the Ninjas are really a group of friendly mate.

Reviews of 2004 ZX-10R:

 

Review 1 - Treat It With Respect!

 

Review 2 - This Bike Will Not Tolerate Fools Easily!

 

Review 3 - A Litrebike That Could Be King

 

Light poles looking like a picket fence?

 

Stock 10R would dust off the full-blown ZX-7R Superbike piloted by Aaron Slight and Scott Russell to win the 1993 Suzuka 8-hour race

 

Designed to have the best power-to-weight ratio and best handling on the track

 

 

2005 10R does not have orange color? Who is the agent for kawasaki bikes?

Hi Speed,

 

Thanks for putting up those link, but the description for the link may be a little off track.

 

Btw, for the 2005 colour scheme, you have to check with Evershine Auto. I guess the other 2 new colours are Titanium & Magma red.

 

Cheers

Hi Alex,

 

U said there are 2 ways of mounting the sliders. Can u kindly give me more detail on the 2 diff types.

 

Thx

SX

[Alex31]

Hi SX,

 

There are the convention way of drilling the fairing to mount directly to the engine frame which is about $60-70, or you can purchased the off-set sliders from Shogun ($65), Champ sliders (ard $usd 100 from ZX10R) or Muzzy sliders ($280-300) from the internet or from Motovation.

 

Pm me your contacts if you want some more opinion.

 

Cheers

No problem.

you did not experience strained wrists and aching back? can share any nitpicks on the 10R for long distance trips?

You need to keep the speed up until the wind pushes at your upper body.

Then it will take the load off the wrist.

Wear a kidney belt, it helps.

Riding gear should have a good fit.

Day or 2 before the ride,have a good rest and drink lots of water.

Sound advice I didn't really expect the 10R to go that far initially too. Good on you. You strap your barang barang on the bike too? Any comments on the windshield? Is it large enough ta cope with the wind blast?

Strapped the barang barang on the pillion seat/pad.

Tried a tank bag but anything faster than 170km/hr and

you begin to fight with the wind.

I do have a zero gravity double bubble.

BTW I dropped 1 tooth off the front sprocket,

so the speed on the speedo may vary.

[Alex31]

Hi guys,

 

I just remove my honeycomb catylster & I can feel that the bike runs a little easier (acceralation) & also much cooler. Sound seems just a little bit louder but I can't really hear it. Done my mod at Seng Kwang price is about $80-100 depending if you know him.

 

I'm still maintaining the butterfly valve to balance the mid range.

 

Will update you guys again.

have read a RIDE mag and the tester also took a zx10r for a long distance trip in UK with other bikes. the bike surprised him to be quite comfy for long distance. i also see him strap his stuff on the tail instead of a tankbag.
