When I get my Ninja running I'll pm you

I'm not sure that many of you think of this, but do you all ride with the balls of your feet on the footpegs? I'm always ready to jump up in the air if I think someone is going to ram into me. Anyone else think this way?

Man you guys are awesome, thank you! I did manage to scratch the mouth scoop a bit trying to apply elbow grease with soapy water THANKS AGAIN ALL!

Thanks Blue and Semi. Is there anything else I could use on the fairing plastic? I'd sh!t if it did something to the plastic/paint.

Hi guys, I'm trying to clean up the bike, but I have a decent amount of road grime on the lower fairing. I don't want to scrub too hard and scratch the clearcoat, nor do I want to use a solvent-based cleaner that will take the paint off or melt the plastic Can anyone suggest a solution...

Pashnit- I always have invisioned you as this skinny East Indian guy who loves Busas. Sorry

Thanks for all your replies, guys! Did some research on Zymol and decided to go for the Zymol Japon wax and their wax spray. Cost me $65 with free shipping. I'm not going to go into their whole wash/wax regimen, otherwise I'll spend too much! Zymol is awesome-- no petroleum distillates or...

Buggery bollocks...7 grand for wax

Thanks guys, but Zaino has petrochemicals

I am pooped trying to find a wax for my old bike. Its paint is fantastic for an '84. I don't want to do something stupid and put a bad silicone- or petroleum distillate-based wax on it and dry up the clearcoat. I just returned some wax after realizing it had petrochemicals in it. Then I bought...

I think the terminology of "superbike" belongs to the 1984 Kawasaki Ninja. Its predecessors were certainly super. A new species of sportbike began with the zx900a-1. Of course I'm very biased!

Believe me, I do want to do the work myself, but adjusting the valves, suspension or messing with the carburator is too much because if something goes wrong then the bike is stuck where it is... and I'll have to get a trailer and then I'll feel like a real dumbass. I don't have the tools or...

Thanks again guys

I thank each of you guys kindly. I appreciate it big-time. Your advice will be strongly heeded. Best Regards Kurt

Thanks guys. But how can you request for them to take very good care of a vintage bike without them getting insulted? Seems like a tough situation...I'm not mechanically inclined to do this stuff myself (valve adjust, carb cleaning, etc) I don't have the facilities to do it myself either. Thanks...
