Hi, new here. i'm after a 2002 -2004 ZRX1200, preferably a damaged one. Do you have any buying advice on what to look out for? I'm to start a streetfighter project, any comments or ideas would be welcome. I already have most of the parts, just need the bike , headers, collectors and a few bits. It will be a 1224 muzzy with pistons, cams, mikuni 38mm flat sides, flowed n ported, dynojet stage 3, I'll fabricate a link pipe s I can run IXIL hyper flow cans. Has anyone got advice on up rated valve springs, and up rated clutch ?

If it has been down, see if you can determine whether or not it ran while on its side. These engines are pretty much bullet proof, but do tend to have bearing issues show up if they've run on their side. If you're planning to do a 1224 muzzy engine, I suppose you will have included a full bottom end rebuild, so the bearing issue may not be a problem. There is a ton of good information on modded REXes over on the ZRXOA site, under the Tech Forum section (scroll down to find that section).

Thanks, I may as we'll replace those as a precaution. I was also considering lightened and stronger con rods and crank, but there doesn't appear to be much out there, any ideas?

OK, gone and done it now? . Just bought a late 2003 ZRX1200, 16000 miles and it's mint, shame as it doesn't know what's about to happen to it. Final spec is : Muzzy stage II Muzzy 1224cc Muzzy cams Gas flowed and ported head Updated valve springs and clutch full akrapovic system IXIL quad Hyperflow cans Dyno jet stage III Keihin fcr 39 flatsides Updated discs calipers and lines Twin dominator headlamps My own tail unit Raised bars and rentals Adonised reservoirs Bigger rad Everything mat black except Tank and tail with will be very dark purple with very subtle ghost flames on the tank and a pinstripe design on the tail. As well speedo computer thing which I am going to mount at an angle on the tank. I'm sure there's more, I hope to be on the road for next spring. ?

Sounds very cool. Got parts already, or is your credit card ready to be maxed out?
