For Sale: 1995 Kawasaki Ninja 600R ZX600C8 Troy, OH $1,200 14,500 Miles Clear Title Original Owner This bike is in nearly perfect mechanical condition. The last few years I used it for track days until my skills came up and I moved up to something faster. Nothing leaks, vibrates, or rattles. All rubber is new. This bike is a blast to ride! I hate to part with it but I'm just not riding it anymore and someone needs to have this. Tires are Pirelli Sport Demon, new Dec 2020 at 14,000 miles (500 miles ago). Modifications / Upgrades / Recent Maint: Cosmetic: Wheels powder-coated black Graphics decals removed from fairings Fuel tank accents removed, painted gloss black Wheels: Replaced bearings front and rear at around 10K miles (old bearings pulled out to powder-coat the wheels). Suspension: December 2017 (12,500 miles): Front shocks rebuilt by RaceTech, HD springs, valves. New fork oil and seals. Tuned for 170 lb rider, track tune. Brakes: December 2020 (14,000 miles): Lines replaced with Galfer Custom Stainless Steel lines, front and rear. Calipers rebuilt, front and rear. Engine: Airbox removed, KN filter Pods installed. Dynojet Stage 3 Jet Kit Timing-Advance Rotor 4 deg V&H Supersport Exhaust. Repacked December 2020. Valve Clearances checked/set December 2020 (14,000 miles) Drive Train: New clutch 2017, 12,600 miles 520 chain conversion, new sprockets Battery: Fused pigtail for Battery Tender wired-in. What's not perfect: There's some minor road rash on one side of the fairing from an incident 20+ years ago (you can see it in the photo) but otherwise the plastic is in great shape. The current battery doesn't actually fit down into the battery compartment.....the application guide was apparently not correct. But it's zip-tied in very very securely. The rear-shock damping rate adjustment knob fell out a few years ago. The OEM replacement rod is actually too long to fit behind the side panel that you need to remove to make the adjustment. It's just a 3mm dia. steel rod threaded on both ends. I just screw the rod in if I have to change the damping rate and then remove it. Also, I never have to change the damping rate. Bike comes with all the original OEM parts including the dual-exhaust, Factory service manuals , a Battery Tender, and a cover. Also comes with a +1 front drive sprocket, some new OEM cooling system hoses, spare valve tappets, and other assorted parts, and the big plastic bins to store the parts!

I was there Sunday for the sessions before lunch. You gave me a lot of advice on body position in the middle of last year that I'm still working on. My head is never where I think it is, but I'm much better than I was last year.

Did you end up going? How was it?

It sure was, but I've never seem so many crashes. I wonder why. Novice was the usual shit show of inside passes, passing on yellow, but no worse than usual. I must have missed something....what are you recovering from Tim?

Does anyone happen to know the status of the riders that went down on Sat/Sun at PittRace? Everyone going to be okay?

N2: June 4/5 July 30/31

I was in that Novice meeting. I'm gland you held it and I thought you guys did a good job explaining what the problem was and what kind of behavior you wanted to see. I'm always surprised by the things people say in those meetings, like the aussie guy complaining about the CR's not keeping the slow people out of his way. People are crazy.

I was wondering exactly the same thing this morning. Maybe @TimTheAzn has the scoop? Was he the only person transported? I though I heard that two people were hurt but they could have just been talking about two separate bikes down....I couldn't tell.

I have a helmet question that might be really dumb. I started doing track days a few years ago on this old ninja I had around. I still ride Novice. Now I have a CBR600RR. The riding position is very very different (forward) and I'm having a weird new problem. I'm so far forward that when I'm in a turn I have a lot of trouble seeing down the track like I used to because the brown of the helmet blocks my view. I have to crank my head back incredibly far to have the same view down the track that I am used to. The helmet is a regular street helmet, Arai RX-Q. And I don't have short arms, that I know of. Are track/racing helmets designed with this in mind, with a wider or higher brow, or is this just something I need to get used to. Is this a thing?

I'll be there, #202 Blue Honda in Novice. And what ksands said, you'll love the place.

Sold!

Dropping this to $600 for OR and I'll be listing it on CR tomorrow for $800. Thx.

Okay, maybe it's a Dexter axle............

Located just north of Dayton, OH. I'm selling my 4X8 trailer. It a Carry-On brand trailer with a Dexter axel. The previous owner modified it by adding a chock on the front. I've added a spare tire and mount, a castering trailer jack, and a lockable jerry-can mount (can not included). All the lights work, tires are all in great shape, wheel bearings repacked a few thousand miles ago. I'm an idiot and I accidentally punched a small hole in the side of one of the tail lights when I was moving it around to take these pictures. You can see it in the photos. It has 1 7/8 coupler, tires are 4.8 X 12" I'll sell it with the folding ramp that you see in the pictures. It's small and light and easy to tow. I think it only weighs about 400 lbs. I have a title for it…..somewhere. I know I got one when I bought it a few years ago and I'm searching for it now.
