    Thumbs up It runs...

    After a couple of weeks of difficult times. ( dropped shim ) and a variety of other little issues, I started it today and lordy lordy it runs like never before. So if any of you are out there and have not shimmed the carbs and then sync'ed them... wait no more, just do it... It is worth the effort.

    New oil, antifreeze, brake fluid, K&N airfilter, cleaned and lubed the chain, fixed all the little ' I'll do that one of these days ' jobs...

    You just can't beat a good ol' ZZR1200

    See ya on the road.


    and Jeff thanks again for stopping by...

    Nothing more satisfying than riding a machine whose excellent condition you are responsible for.

    Do we need to have a work day next month when I'm out???? I can open them up and have the carbs exposed in less than 30 minutes and if the gages are accurate we can sync in minutes.
