2008 ZX-10R released 9-11-07

I don't like it as much as the 1000RR but I like it. Like everyone else the only things that really make me cringe are the front signals and the exhaust. The tail looks really, really high too almost odd but not too bad.

No it isn't. It has been studied that certain paints are faster. Lighter colors are faster cause the Pigmentation is less per square inch so thus is ligher. It also depends on the clear coat as that has a direct effect to the drag coefficient (studies on waxing vs no waxing to the drag coefficient).

The Rim tape though it adds a litte weight it does help the gyroscopic effect keeping the bike stable at high speeds. Also the ability of the tape to cut through the wind aslo lowers the drag on the wheel thus allowing it to spin easier thus equaling more HP at the rear tire (the ultimate goal).

Don't get me started on the motor. I wonder if they have added the new J-Force power bands and Exhaust internals....

I'm quite partial to synthetic blinker fluid. Also, upgrading to a 2050ohm resistor within your flux capacitor will provide an adequate boost within the motor.

that tail is so freakin high you'd need a step ladder or a local picnic table to mount lol

Yeah that tail is high and small. I will be picking one up in that paint scheme. My gf will have to wait til i ride the 12 if she wants to come along.....

go exchange her for one in a smaller size

up until 2005 it was 15 minute job, including opening the box and package. The 05 models the mirrors have the turn signals in them and the wires go through the windscreen and fairing stay.

Then the connections to the damn Signals are between the headlight and the fairing so the only way to get the turn signals (mirrors) disconnected is to unbolt the front upper fairing and drop it down to get to it.

now that sucks dont care to screw with uppers if i dont have to.

that wouldnt go over well i gotta an Indiana country girl who will punch you for little of nothing.

Yeah I saw that 2050 mod but decided not stay away as the delay between the 2050ohm and the Flux build up is substantial. Plus I never got a Round Tuit to finish the mounting of the Capacitor box so it rattled.

Now I have done the blinker fluid and it is big improvement, but make sure you keep an eye on the signals Mhz output if it goes above 100 it can short out your Rectifier..

LMAO!!

That is the type of responses we give all questions we give newbs who wonder in to the Squid Farm and ask questions on Gixxer.com

Thanks for the setup..
