Officially a Ninja again

DaveH · April 20, 2021, 10:13:23 AM

After having had enough of commuting on the YBR and wanting a bigger bike/needing to clear space in the garage; the black z1000 and YBR have been replaced by this:

2001 J2 with just under 25K on the clock, other than the wheels and a slight scuff on the fairing, it seems in pretty good order; itching to get out on it now, might just be finishing work early...then it'll be oil/filter change, check air filter and fit exhaust

Fantastic. Miss my J2 and regularly browse what's on Autotrader.

Enjoy 😊

Thanks guys, a very tentative shakedown run on new tyres in the wet after an oil and filter change - but felt good, just the gear level angle to change and then have a look at the air filter and plugs. Throttle tube might also need removed and degreased or cleaned up as it was a bit creaky and not completely smooth, unless it is the cables.

Did get the exhaust fitted as well

Looking forward to getting a decent run out on it now.
