I have a 2001 zrx. It comes with a 17/42. When I replaced my chain & sprockets I went up 1 in the front to a 18/42. Now I don't feel like I have to shift...
... Yep. If it's stock, it's a 17/42, but if you bought it used it may not be stock. You can count the rear easily enough. I don't know how you'd count the...
The great thing is: You can pull the front left cover (to count the front teeth) without having to replace any gaskets. Two bolts on the round cover,...
Or a tooth up for higher top-end, as Stephen did! ________________________________ From: todd dennehy <toddsaxismotors@...> To: zrx1100-1@yahoogroups.com...
Just to clarify, that metal line is full of brake fluid ;) You can remove the round cover then remove the clutch slave and gently pull it far enough out to get...
Yes, that is the hydraulic slave line, but still removes easily, without loss of fluid. Do have to bend it slightly and gently, but without harm. Didn't...

faster than I want to go. dont have the balls to push it to the limit. With the 17 sprocket I pushed it to 140. that's fast enough for me ... From: bill...
Faster than me, I'm only good for 130mph. Before I start thinking at least I've got my helmet on, so if I go down,at least they sew my head back on. Hate to...
Sorry, it WAS 17/42...I too went to an 18 tooth counter shaft. Out on the highway about every 10 minutes I would shift into "6th" gear. It drops the r's down...
I bought a pair of sprockets from ebay, called wheelie sprocket kit. they raise the rear a couple teeth and drop the front ONE or maybe 2 at the most. 1st and...
Good news. Speedo operates off front wheel. You can mess with your gearing all you want without affecting it. ... be ... the ... me ... at ... head ... chain...
Yep, yer right. The main sprockets have no effect on the speedo, however what chris was asking is "what is the percentage of error of the speedo?" I have had...
Rich, I'd say you're right on the money with that. When I'm reading 65 or 70 mph, I am really doing about 5 mph less. I have had three Z-Rexes, and this...
Also, I do know these bikes can do 140 mph, and still have some left. I weigh 145 lbs., and can get the speedo to read 145 going up a very long straight...
Oh, doh! I misread that message ;) I had a police officer friend of mine check mine with his radar at 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 on the speedo. It was almost...
I've also gauged my spedo with a Garmin 330 GPS long Lakeshore drive. Tested between zero and somewhere around 100 I come up with a 10% overage shown from...
Mine is also off by 10% as compared to the GPS reading. Most bikes are. The actual speed is about 10% lower than what the speedometer is telling you. At an...
Which state? There is an Olathe in KS and CO. I'm guessing that you are talking Kansas. I'd love to ride with ya but that's 1,079 miles one way (if it's...

Still riding in New Mexico. Winter has been very kind to the cycling and scooter crowd here. Was wondering the same thing as you. I suspect a lot of them...
