Faithfull ZX9 finally spits out its dummy
Wadders - 30/7/08 at 08:22 PM

Finally killed the poor old Zed at Cadwell today, can't really complain, it cost me £200 and has suffered five years of abuse.
Its a bit like the sofa on men behaving badly, i'm kind of sorry to see it go.
Ah well iv'e got a chewed up conrod as a memento

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Bad luck.

Does this mean you will have another 9?

Those Triumphs seem to do ok on 3 cylinders, maybe i should just board the hole up and see how it goes

Yeah bit of a shame really, seeing as it was such a nice day, and my first time at Cadwell.
What a cracking track.

Track or rack!?

Unlucky mate!

if you keep to a 9 it will make for an easy install, just swap motors - exhaust, plumbing, cables etc can all stay.

You could get it done before the end of summer with a bit of an effort.

£200 on a smiles per pound basis aint too shabby though eh!?!

i think you should put a zx10 or 12 in, and then let me know how easy it was to swap

Regarding the rack im not going to get any work done today lol

five years of abuse its done well for A £200 engine

That's bad news Al, sorry to hear it. Having driven it round Mallory, I can confirm it was a great engine. Are you gonna drop a bigger one in now?
