Thanks for posting, this brought back a lot of memories of riding around California. Unfortunately, my last ride ended with me, cuffed in the back of a cop car watching my '08 ZX-10r getting towed away. Ride safe.
I got my first liter bike 01/24/23 which was a 08 Zx10r I ended up crashing 01/27/23 a day before my bday now that I’m mostly healed up from road rash just waiting for my spinal fracture to heal up I’m planning on fixing her up to ride again some day barely got to enjoy the bike
@@pokingfun4008 Oh the '08 zx10r was my favorite bike. It was nice and light to throw around in the turns and the throttle was quick to respond. The gas tank was a little wide towards the top that felt a little weird at first. Then there was that ugly stock rear end.
Nice vid. Thx. The problem with this bike can be seen in the speedometer...at 6.000 the green area starts. So here is Kawasakis main problem up to now - no significant power in the lower RPM range. And, of course I had one of my own.
@@Flamez998 when i think of new rider on a such bike i think 1st gear all day every day. :D It's hard to have fun with that bike with beginner skills, it's just the ego that is getting satisfied. But it's OK. It's cool.
My 05 Zx10r Does the Exact Same Thing. Every Time I roll on the Throttle it Breaks loose just like This Bike.. What Can I Do to Stop This? New Tire ? Suspension Adjustment? Any Recommendations? I weigh About 150ish
Sticky track quality tire, soften up you rear end a bit and psi maybe just a bit don’t go much lower at all then oem 3psi max I’d say…swingarm extensions help keep front down but imagine your not having that as it’s spinning…funny as my absolutey thrilling 04 zx10r with lots of mods is opposite I can’t keep that front down for the life of me and weigh about 125-135 depending on month and work schedule…I am looking into some swing arm extensions nothing crazy as I hate stretched look and want my bike to ride right all around but some to keep it down when I try my best atleast haha
@@zoomsnipes5448 just buy it and learn it lol, my 03’ R1 did rolling burnouts on the freeway in 3rd gear and I tried 3 different tires nothing helped 😂
@@zoomsnipes5448It’s not a bike issue, it’s a tire and maybe suspension settings issue. If you break traction on dry pavement rolling on the throttle your tires are garbage or your suspension is extremely tight. Never had this issue on my 07. It will wheelie if I throttle hard, not break traction.
Imo and ive owned 2 third gens i have an 09 currently, my is fully tuned with a cat delete and a shorty and mine really starts to giddy up from around 5k all the way to almost 13k thats the sweet spot. The tach basically shows you theres green on the tachometer from 6-12k.
