[SKERI]

very nice, rare color too if i remember correctly. is it a 01?

 

[Jaws4God]

sweet! but doesn't it have a double bubble windscreen, fender eliminator and tire hugger?

 

[LeMoore]

yeah its an 01 plate, J2 model i think..

and Jaws.. yeah, it does.. i'll be honest mate, i am such a noob i dont know what is stock and what is modded. it does have braided brake lines, whatever those are !! they are supposed to be better?!

so much to learn, eh?!

 

[Slickqbn]

oh no problem man.. I just wasn't sure if you didnt know of those mods or just forgot..
I can understand buying a used bike you aren't sure what is modified and what isn't.. makes me wonder if they shimmed it or anything..

nice bike! I wish i was in london!

 

[LeMoore]

Jaws.. the guy said..

"Valves adjusted, shims replaced, carbs aligned, and chain adjusted"

The guy i bought it off is a proper biker, very honest guy. a copper actually, he rides around on a cop bike!

What are the shims?

 

[Jaws4God]

What are the shims?

They are washers that you add to the needles to allow a little more fuel.. helps smooth out the power band.

good buy man, this is mine that i just picked up for $3,500. I now has 5,600 miles on it.

you will really enjoy this bike man, i know i have enjoyed mine. until i scraped the side of it yesterday coming into work but hey that happens.

You guys got some really good deals on a really good bike. I've never seen the blue colour scheme before in real life until yesterday. Some dude pulled up along the side of me on a street and I was like, "that bike is sick". And today I see you post up.

LeMoore, congrats man. As Jaws4God pointed out, it looks like your bike has been pretty much modded to the teeth (at least appearance wise). But I'm pretty sure if the previous owner did all that, you have your carbs shimmed and might even be running an aftermarket filter. So you don't really need to do anything to the bike. lol In any case, congrats.

dedge, you gotta take off that stupid reflector from the front tire (easy mod, you just unsrew a couple of screws and it's off the fork). Unless, you like the look, then don't mind me.

 

[LeMoore]

Thanks dude, everyone seems to love the colour. its funny as i wasnt looking at kwaks originally, it was all about the the gixxer. but then i saw this bike and had to have it. am so glad i went with it now! my girlfriend aint getting NO love at the moment, its all going to the bike !
