DeansZG Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 In order to preserve my drivers license, I'm listing my '04 ZZR 12 for sale: '04 ZZR1200 w/ 35k ish.. miles on it (& they will go up as it does daily commuting & weekend playing). I bought the bike in '12 & thought I could make a decent sport-tourer out of it wanting something a little different than the C10 Concours I sold previous.... turns out that while it's a fun bike, even w/ the mods, it'll never be what I miss about the Concours.. Anywho, here's the skinny: Metz Z6 f & r tires have about 1500 miles on them, 3 windscreens; oem, Mra w/ extender, & Ermax w/ MRA extender, C10 handlebars, which are taller than the oem bars w/ blocks that most people install, heated grips, Corbin seat, Tutoro chain oiler just installed, new chain & sprockets not installed, & old style Krauser saddlebags. A trunk is also included but not pictured. I've got some hard rubber shock cushions under the base of the mirrors to give a better rearward view than looking at your elbows. Also have a ram mount off the mirror bolt hole on the clutch side. Playing / commuting will return around the low-mid 30's gas mileage & have netted about 250 miles from a tankful during weekend trips. Can send better pics if requested. Bike is located about 1/2 hr. n. of Toledo Will discuss pricing w/ serious inquiries.... still riding / enjoying the bike, not going to give it away.... Not looking to trade for anything either.... Looking to regain garage space due to another purchase! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_c_F Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Question -- you done anything about the Z12 cam-chain tensioner issues? The starter motor, especially when started in gear, will sometimes overwhelm the automatic tensioner, and the tensioner arm will whack the clutch basket. They have a few set-screw-and-CNC remedies that don't cost too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whaler Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Awesome bike! Great motor as long as it never ran on its side. Had a ZRX which has the same motor, gobs of torque and still pulls up top. The ZZR has better cams and a 6th gear which makes it an even better motor. GLWS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the C10, I used an A.P.E. tensioner which took care of that issue.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
