Title: Hi everyone
Hux - July 16, 2008 03:20 PM (GMT)
Hello everyone, just got a red 2005 Z1000 and really enjoying it after quite a few sports bikes. I've ordered a Leo Vince 2 into 1 conversion and a K+N filter to pep things up a bit, apart from a Power Commander are there any other rcognised modifications? The only other thing I'd like to change is that it tends to run a little wide in the corners, any fixes for that?
Thanks
Marc

Hi
Try a jack up kit(available on ebay for approx £18). Makes cornering faster n smoother. Depends how you ride but i did find a steering damper makes a big change. Enjoy your ride dude

Hi, the tyres were new when I got it a couple of weeks ago so no flattening yet. Fitted new tie bars and much better turn in but very very twitchy under hard acceleration now. Looks nice though :D Doing a track day at Brands next month so that should be interesting, first track day not riding a sports bike!

Hi
Fitted new tie bars?
Refresh my brain!

They are the bars or plates that link the shock absorber pivot to the swing arm, they control the ride height.
