dover Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 I traded my 5.0 for my buddies 03 ZX-6r. So far it has an airshifter, Jardine Exhaust, PC, extended swing arm, and lowering links. It rides great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman88210 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Shinko what? Pretty bike... Im not a fan of the stretching, but thats just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4junkie Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Are those DOT race tires? I don't recognize the pattern.EDIT: Ooooh Shinko . . . haven't heard anything good about those.Depending on what you plan on doing with it I would probably ditch the extendo swingarm. If you want to go around any corners it is not helping you.First bike right? Congratulations! You'll never forget your first love.

dover Posted May 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 I found a stock swing arm for $40 bucks online so I'm going to pick that up for when I do decide to hit turns alittle better. The tires are on there way out I am going to replace them as well I just don't know much about bike tires compared to car tires, so any recommendations would be awesome. I also need to do a full service on it (i.e. oil,plugs,wires) any recommendations on places? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dover Posted May 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Looks alright, congrats on the first bike.How many miles?Was it dragged? Airshifter, extended swingarm, etc...?I assuming at one point and time it was. Apparently the motor has been rebuilt and currently has 6k on it. It reads 28k on the body. I got the servicing it appears taken care of so no worries on that end. But I still do need some recommendations on tires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman88210 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Tires depend on how you ride. With that swing arm, you might as well get something a little harder. Once you get the swing arm switched out, just go with some Michelin Pilot Powers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Michelin, pirelli, and continental tires are good.Nice ninja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHawk Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 its been awhile, but i think pilot power something or others is what i ran on my old one, had no issues with them. I will be needing new tires for the bike i picked up yesterday, so i'm gonna start pricing them soon as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that dude Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 buy some good tires, remove the extended swingarm and raise it back to stock height..as far as plugs wires and oil change, do it yourself..its not that hard, plus it will save you some coin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmuckingham Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 If you need anything or help working on the bike, let me know Dover.I would have kept the 5.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harb67 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Nice bike Lose the swing arm and you'll see why bikes > cars As for tires, you can't go wrong with Michelin Pilot Power's or Pirelli Diablo Rosso's. Anything softer/more exotic (like Corsa 3's or Power 2CT's) would be overkill and expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vroddave Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 I love the bike until I saw that damn hideous swing arm. Smuck your such a sucker for big motors. But I am 2. I do like his cobra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
