Got the zrx up into a nice wheelie today. 1st gear 4k or so- roll on the throttle and up it comes. This is probably old news to you guys but it thrills me...
I agree about the rear brakes... I bought a '00 ZRX with only 5200 miles and have been less than impressed with the rear brakes. They work, but are not what I...
It's just a difference in riding style, but I prefer my rear brake weak. If I'm on the front brake hard, the rear gets light enough that it'd lock too easily....
Re: Wheelie chat I agree about the rear brakes... I bought a '00 ZRX with only 5200 miles and have been less than impressed with the rear brakes. They work,...
If you think that the brakes are "not so good" on a ZRX, ride a KLR-650 for a while. Then hop back on your ZRX. If the rex brakes no better than a KLR, you...
This rear brake discussion is really interesting and illustrates the differences among us as riders. Go to the ZRXOA board and start this discussion, and...
I don't use my rear brake much. The front brake does most of the stopping. But, when I want a well controlled stop, both brakes are being used. And, the bike...
I guess I use the rear every time I use the front. I've tried riding with the front only as an experiment, and the front end dives more, which I don't like on...
When I say my rear brakes don't work I mean you can stomp on the pedal and hardly any thing happens. It's not a spongy feel is's seized I think. I will try to...
Something is definitely wrong! You should be able to have heavy braking action with only about 5 pounds of force on the brake pedal. Keep us posted. ... From:...
I remember someone getting front rotors replaced under warranty on the ZRXOA board, but danged if I can remember who, for sure. I think it may have been Uncle...
well since we are talking about brakes..i like my rear brakes. but my front brakes jerk like crazy.. if i really get on them ..like trying a stoppie they dont...
Could be a worn frt rotor. Bad shocks? Or, even a lumpy front tire. I had a fabulous ride from Silver City, NM to Albuquerque and back this weekend....
Well, when I guess that I hit a nerve with my rear brake complaint... LOL I do use the rear brake every time I stop, but I'd say it's only 25-30% of my braking...
I also have a water buffalo (along with some other old jap bikes) and the brakes and handling on my ZRX are so far superior it's amazing. After riding my ZRX...
I love those Buffalos- the drum braked purple one. I was all over buying one to replace my submerged Vmax. My bike choices were- Buffalo/zrx/bandit/919...

It's a Suzuki GT-750 - water cooled, 3-cylinder, 2-stroke, . They were produced from 1972 to 1977, then went extinct. Due to the water cooling (first modern...
A very cool bike. Suzuki. The first ones look like buck rogers bikes. later ones look about like any 70's UJM. They last forever (I've read) run good/ good...
Changed fluid in the rear brake, dark looking stuff. Took the pads out & cleaned them up w/sand paper. Master is moving the caliper-not siezed- stuck it all...
The HP figures I quoted were not manufacturer estimates (at the crank), but major cycle mag dyno-verified numbers at the rear wheel. Most moto-journalist types...
Hi folks! I have a fe w Q?s about MORE POWER UP GRADES. 1st.Are there any other company's out there that make a 1224 kit besides Muzzy? Do you think the 1224...
