My ZX9r track bike; First impressions

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 :lafy ).

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 :lkl

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 :umm

Can't wait...TTFN and thanks for reading, if anyone did :552
