I hate buying used bikes (this is me venting)
 

As some of you no I have a 99 kaw. zx7. Over the months in me having the bike thing have been braking and braking and braking some more. And with me not knowing how to fix all this i had to take the bike to the stealership. The grand price is a little around 4500 repairs.

Alternator=700 (thats a killer)
Another back tire=148 (damn burnouts)
Side fairing=1100

The first week I had my bike I had to get new sprockets and a chain. And of course you're flat broke after you first buy a bike it's just and extra kick in the nuts. So I feel ya man.

But one of the best things about buying a used bike, If you drop it your not as pissed. Unless the bike has never been dropped

I have the shop manual for that bike... downloaded it for $10 when I thought I was getting that 02 zx7. Now it is collecting dust... I have it printed and bound - 364 pages... will send it to you for $20, or you can download it from me for $10. 180 MB file.

Thanks guys for the support im trying to make it, even though the bike has age i just cant seem to let it go its my first do im slowly getting ot fixed

RE: I hate buying used bikes (this is me venting)
 

Right on, I am proud of my zx7 even if it is a hoover tube.
But it does not mean that a neighbors GSXR1100 will beat it! I know the early models but not the older models. I am happy with what I ride, basically. So enjoy your ride and be safe.

RE: I hate buying used bikes (this is me venting)
 

Bummer bout all the repairs...I agree repair manual should be on your list. I love my 7 too eventhough its a tank she is pretty good to me.
