Default hello All, a questions for the masses

New Bike & new to forum

I recently purchased a 1990 zx 750r Ninja (F). pretty nice bike it has some tank damage when I got it. Ordering parts got a little confusing. I see that Kawasaki made a zx-7 (h) and a zx 750 (f) for this year.

Besides the single headlight. What’s the difference?

this is theZXR-750 H from 1990
http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/mod...r750h%2090.htm

your bodywork appears to be a GPX-750R

http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/mod...x750r%2090.htm

difference is smaller carbs on the gpx, skinnier tires, slightly less displacement (7cc), electronicly activated anti-dive from fork, ZXR has 12 way adjustable front and rear,

other features of the GPX include more fuel capacity, smaller front brakes and a 1/4 mile of 11.1 to the zxr's 10.9.

so they are pretty close but th gpx seems to have been marketing more at sport riders than racers.

hmm, I do not call the F4 model a GPX. Besides the single head light and body work, the different ie steel frame over the H2's aluminum frame, the undersized cams, etc. It still is a good ride, just not a good track ride is all.

as for tires i'd recommend the ones i just picked up - dual compound with a harder center section to get more miles out of the tire if you commute like i do but sticky sidewalls for good cornering. the conti road attack tires - good prices too generally stick with stock sizing but mine was listed as stock being a 160 rear and i have a 180 on it
