The zzr1200 is one of the most underated sport bikes. I have a 2005 w/ 7700 miles on it. I have done a few key mods. The Iavan’s jet kit and block off plate takes away the dip in power between 3,000 and 5,000 rpm. GONE! I also did a muzzy full system k&n air filter hotter spark plugs and stainless steel brake lines and new pads. This bike is pushing 160 hp. simply a rocket.
Can you tell me how to get these same mods? Sounds just like what I want to do with my ZZR 1200. Thank you.
Erock,
I have the same bike and agree with your statement. What do you mean regarding the block off plate?
