yotaman88210 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 If you want colored tires, get markers that you can paint in your tread. They make yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisoh Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 600s. Back in 1998-2001. You know, the years that the ZX6 was a turd... It was a LOT of work to keep up with the Zooks...I enjoyed hurrying the 2001 model around VIR. I was so gidddy when i started to deck the pegs (though with my lard ass at the time and mediocre skills it was easy).I have been chasing a 98-00 model for a few years now. Rob Hancock has been on one since i started to race and his motor is a very good one. I had a run on him out of 10 at putnam at first Fastrax Putanm round pulled along side about mid way to upright already well at WOT. And that was as far as I got.I even tucked my head face down to get lower and more out of the wind. He still beat me by .049 at the line. About a wheel length.

Moto-Brian Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 dont get those tires, they are re-treads, heavy as hell and suck dick (imho)+10000!! Ever seen one on a tire balancing machine? They have "lumps" in them sometimes. Weird and scary.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About a wheel length.Scary thing is that his motor is stock - outside some jet kit and a pipe. I've been trying to sell him one of our left over KIT boxes and KIT clutch parts...Our motors were pretty tight and ran to the point they needed torn down after two endurance events. Otherwise, bad things would happen. the bottom ends were solid, though. Great bike, but just a pig and low on power. That's why we ran Superbike - otherwise, supersport would have had us chasing our tails... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 You don't have to be a dick, I just asked a question. You answered it. I acknowledged you answered my question. Chill out already.I'm responding in a dick like manner as to how I was responded to. Read it closer. Sarcasm is a funny thing - especially when you don't get it...

Moto-Brian Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I still wonder if my motor lost some after it over heated and blew the head gasket couple years ago.Welllllllll.... I mean, if it wasn't put back together correctly, I'd say so. I mean, Mike's 2001 600 we rode at Putnam that one year wasn't a Superbike motor like Jonas has, but we were only one second off his pace in endurance mode... It had nowhere near the build we did to the Kaw's and it was WAY better. Maybe not by much as I think we were at 110 RW on the 2000-2001s. But, I think with a Supersport build to that 2001, we were at that number. Stock, I think the ZX6 was at about 100. Maybe 105 properly tuned in race set-up...

This makes for a more comfortable ride and last long throughout the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the main reasons I've cleaned and waxed mine.I've cleaned and waxed my jacket once a week until I have to store it for winter.
