Before I bought my ZRX last year I did a lot of shopping and comparing. VMAX was in the running but I just couldn't see paying $3k more for 20+ year old...
Mark, I'm not going to climb the bell tower to defend my beloved Vmax, I dont really get off on the pissing contests. Especially in this situation I really...
The max sure feels faster with the rear tire breaking loose so easily. The max power slides around corners better. A fine bike for the tire smoking arts. The...
One of the latest posts someone mentioned the fact that it is getting harder to find something other than a croooozer or a tupperware torpedo. I just don't...
you are very wise grasshopper...i like what you had to say ...i feel the same way now if we could just all ban together and get something done about it LOL ......
Yamaha FZ1 (or FZ6)...? (aka the "Fizzy"). That's what I'd consider if I didn't have the ZRX. I love the naked bikes until I am running at 75 mph+, then the...
Thanks for the response from the ones who posted on the Tupperware Torpedo. It is good to see that I am not alone. In reality I was a dyed-in-the-wool a...

It's harder to find a "retro style" bike (fully naked or otherwise) (the bike, not you) in the USA because they don't sell enough of them. For the same reason,...
Ben; I can echo your comments. I got back into biking about four years ago after a 15 year break. Looked around a lot for a non-crotch rocket bike and ended...
Hey folks, I am interested in hearing how you transport your bikes to track days? I've heard U-Haul rents bike trailers, but that involves buying a hitch for...
Hey guys, I hope every one is having a safe riding summer sofor! It's time for me to change my engine coolent. I want to use Engine Ice. 2 Q?. How much and...
Hey Monty. I was also considering using a non coolant. I was thinking of Water Wetter because it hasn't got below 32' here since the 40's or so I hear. I...
If its in the stock position it should already be back. If you flip them it will move them up and forward. If you got the bike used and someone already flipped...
hey guys~ sorry been out of town for a while lost track of the thread I started on the speaker kits. I have a set mounted on my Zrx, and loved them so much, iI...
They must be flipped. The clamp is almost level and there is a flying butress looking bit hanging out past the top triple about 1/4 inch. I'll be flipping...
Went to zrxoa list to read coolant options. There are many opinions. I ended up with orange /no silicate stuff. The bike is a '99 with original coolant...
Came across a guy that had an early 1980's GS1150ES set up for drag racing; ported, high compression, kerker header, jet kit. Bike turns about 10.5 quarter at...
Is there anyone in the group that can quickly explain the differences between the early and later ZRX's. I am looking to pick one up as soon as I sell my Mean...
I found the information on the following site if anyone is interested,,, http://zrxoa.com/webpages/generalinfo/factoryspecs/factoryspecs.html John ... ...
Hi John, The biggest difference between early and late-model ZRX's is displacement: early models were 1100 (1052) cc's, later models were 1200 (1164) cc's....
hey kids, I am seriously considering a jet kit, but I have a dilema that I might have caused myself. I wasn't sure if I wanted to extend the factory warranty...
Not sure if you have any problems with the exception of the gearing. When you say gears, do you mean sprockets? If so, that won't affect your warranty. What...
Yester day I hit 4K miles and change my oil from regular to AMSOIL (synthetic) 10w-40. I never had a problem with my cluch but now it slips in 4th and 5th...
YOu'll have to check with the warranty company. I believe most don't care. If your bike is like mine you'll get a lot out of a jet kit with the changes you...
never heard that before i switched my bike at 20k and now have 25 and its working great ... maybe it will chill after a few miles and get better....i never had...
