So it's good to be back on the old girl
As some of you may remember I was the one with the stuck valve on my 02 ZZR 1200, then I found the bolt stuck in the intact port holding the valve open, got it out and everything was well with the world, and is still well. In fact, I had a rough idle at first, but when I went back into it found that I had not seated the carbs fully, the right hand side was not fully in the rubber boot causing a little air leak. Once that was fixed she is as good as new, and it sure is good to be riding her again. That power of the ZZR is just so good. Compared to my new V-Strom 1000, the ZZR is just so much more powerfully, and I realize that I am addicted to that power. It's just so much fun and I can get that from just a short ride, unlike a drug, I don't need more and more to get the high. I realized that the other day when I went into the Kawasaki dealer and sat on the new ZX-14, power. It's such a cool drug.

Great news that the bike is back to 100%!
It's hard to go backwards with HP. The Zed delivers everywhere.
KN, this ride's for You.

Re: So it's good to be back on the old girl
Yeah baby... the nearby Kawi-Crack dealer is trying to lure me into the new ZX14... it looks totally addictive... give me a hit of that 9.5 second 1/4 mile power... this stuff can wreck marriages!
