Hi all. Just got myself a 1997 bright red ZL600 Eliminator which looks showroom! 6600 miles I love it, but it does have some oddities. It's a 6 speed, and every gear past 2 sounds the same, so it's impossible to tell which gear I'm in - and definitely close ratio. The clutch pulls smoothly and shows no signs of wear, BUTT, it's a Hard pull. Don't know if that's typical, or needs lube or replacing? The previous owner was an electrical engineer, and put some type of capacitive discharge thingies (<- technical term) on each plug, eliminating the distributor/coil. They came off a 1400cc? but seem to work fine. Kuhlllll bike.
