its ummm.. pretty good too ..

suspension is a bit harsher than i'd like, the tyres are awful, chain and sprockets are shot, and im pretty sure having ridden it in anger now that its running lean and needs bigger jets, but all in all.. i think its going to be a good-un..

engine is exceptionally smooth for a zxr, excellent midrange, slightly weak at the top but it hit the limiter in top on 14/45 gearing so it cant be that bad..

brakes are ok now they've had some use, so they can stay as-is or i'll swap the braided lines off the other bike onto it as it looks like that never going to be ready anyway, i'll grab the polished rearsets off it too if i do.

clutch slipped a bit for the first 20 miles, but i didnt soak the plates, so thats probably why, its fine now.

yet to do,

jets
fork seals
chain
rear sprocket
tyres
suspension fiddling
