Hi all, Very new here so hope you don't mind me boring you all with my first impressions of my 1999 ZX9r C2 track bike. I bought it from a mate in July and have now done two track days on it, one at Mallory Park and one at Knockhill. Both times with a bunch of mates so there were at least 5 of us on track during the day. Bike went well, rides well and turns and stops very well considering it's age and even if I do say so myself showed a few much newer sports bikes a clean pair of heels (this was of course more to do with the riders of those than any heroics on my lardy part ).Things I discovered, I've got a bit of clutch slip at high revs, not powering out of corners but when getting to 10k ish on the straights so that needs looking at. I need some captive wheel spacers machining up as changing the rear wheel when I needed the wets on was a right PITA with standard spacers that just would not stay in place But, all in all I'm very pleased with it and glad to have a Kwaka in the garage again, next out in October at Cadwell so need to get those spacers sorted before then coz it'll defo rain on the day Can't wait...TTFN and thanks for reading, if anyone did
