Today I decided enough babying my ZX with 850 km and the 1000 km inspection so close, so did what the mechanic at the dealer told me to do. Blast the engine to 14000 rpm before bringing it to him. Needless to say, that was the closest thing to an orgasm you can get on a public road
HOLY SHIT.. that was awesome. I thought the ZX6R was an awesome bike before. At 14000 rpm, it's just a totally different bike. What a rush. So much power. So little skill.. better watch out. This can get addictive.
On a side note, been noticing lately that my first and sometimes second gear is getting kind of "clunky". That is, from standing still, go to first, and then feel a clank, and a slight forward lurch. It didn't use to do that. Also, when moving, and down shifting before a stop into first, also, feel the "clank!". When revving it up higher and shifting from 1st to 2nd, also.. the shift just feels "heavy". It used to be a nimble "click". What happened ?!?!.. I hope I didn't break something already <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>
