Its official.
I have the best bike in the world.
When I got it second hand, it came with a three month warranty which was nice.
And lucky as it happens.
She’s already a beaut and a absolute ANIMAL at the drop of a gear, however.
A prob developed with lots of lurching and uncomfortable riding.
So I took it back.
The bloke took it apart and put her back together.
I HAVE JUST HAD THE WORLD’S SEXIEST COOLEST SMOOTHEST RIDE HOME EVER
I HAVE THE GREATEST BIKE IN THE WORLD.
A 2000 ZX9R E1 - In Blue (Not Green) hence she is called the Millenium Falcon.
Gonna have to get together at some point meets wise to get you those brake pads mate. Don’t let me forget eh!
And don’t even try and start …
The way my baby feels right now, she could kick Vale’s arse and leav nasty greasy trails all over Hayden Pedrosa and proabably even Capirossi too.
Before she was a tractor, now she feels like thaat scary adrenaline moment when it all kicks in and everything gets micro sharp…AND THAT’s JUST FILTERING!!!
The Millenium Falcon was blue… it was a cold lonely universe, old Hans cruised it providing a bus service for young and desperate rebels…well it certainly wasn’t GREEN,
No, no, no. I am looking at my star wars action figure original millenium falcon and it is definitely not blue, more an ocean grey. Or maybe military grey.
Anyway, as a ZX6R owner, I would not mind if it was GREEN.
Bled the brakes for the first time and it took me ages…
Different from my R6 because you have to bleed the master cylinder, then the left and right calipers, then the master cylinder once again.
But I did a good job…
Went for a naked blast to check everything was working (not me, the bike )…Almost pulled a wheelie because the front end was so light and then almost pulled a stoppie due to the amazing brakes
The EBC HH make a real difference to stopping power…I think the braided lines help a bit, but the pads are the difference of applying the brakes a lot later than you normally would have to.
