Hi there I just bought a 2007 Z750 a couple of weeks ago and I have been cleaning it up. I took the frame covers off and could not believe the rust the paint was all flaking off I live in Glasgow which freezes in the winter so they put salt on the roads but I have had motorbike for over 30 years including Kawas but never seen anything as bad as this. Has anyone had the same problems I used smoothrite paint on it but unless this frame is powder coated the bike will not see 20 years. Stevie |

Unfortunately built to a budget and not just Kawasaki. Look at the Suzuki bandits MK1. If you want to keep the bike take this winter off and strip it and powdercoat it yourself. If I had the storage I would be doing that myself or buying a frame that is already done. Saying that my 1985 frame is still looking not to bad with its original paint on it. |

I'm about 40 miles East of you Stevie, Same here, me & mates who are winter riders usually put protective sprays on our bikes. Think Scottoiler does quite a decent one if i mind right. I try to grease up as much as i can when working on my bikes (like under the swingarm covers etc...) then wash & spray protective stuff as much as i can during the winter. |

I use to be a motorcycle driving instructor and used bikes all winter but never seen anything like this on a seven year old bike what would it take to give a decent coat of paint on a frame I might try and strip it during the winter and get it plastic coated but that is a huge job. Stevie |
