I have been after an SV to turn into a track bike, but they seem to be making good money at the moment, so have ended up with this ZXR400 to see how I go on track after 4 years away.
It needs a few jobs doing looking at her, so will keep me busy over the next few weeks.

Just be careful as the engines are temperamental lol. Mine developed a big end knock unfortunately :(

Looks good on the surface, good luck with it, what tracks you aiming at?

Only 3 Sisters at Wigan at the moment, maybe Oulton Park if the price is good enough. I'm a member of Preston & District MCC, so get test days for £25 for 2 hours track time.

Cheers Wildkid. Engine sounds fine, apparently it is still standard, just been on a Dyno.
Fork seal is leaking & rocker cover gasket on the left is leaking too. It'll keep me occupied for a bit anyhoo :)
