Hello,

My name is Matt and I'm from Auburn,AL. War Eagle. I am full time student at Auburn University.

I dont have a bike right now but am looking for a Z1000. I have found a few but am trying to get a loan.

My last bike was a 2005 r6. Loved it and it was stolen on my birthday this past year.

Thanks and awesome site,

Matt C.

03 and up are all nice bikes, find a low millege one that looks like it was loved. i bet you can find one for under 4,000 dollars.

Awesome, thanks. I have been kinda nervous about the 03-06 because I hear a lot about vibration and a dead spot at low rpm. How hard and how expensive is it to fix the vibration and flat spot? I have found several 03-06 models for good prices but this will my main mode of transportation in the spring summer and fall so I want to be comfortable and of course have good power down low since most of my driving will be in town.

Thanks a lot,

Matt C.

Most of the vibration can be eliminated with a set of thick aluminum bars like Renthal or Rizoma...I know that pulling the Secondaries (second set of throttle plates)will really liven it up...no throttle lag afterwords....grin factor goes up lol

I know most of the vibration is felt in the bars....so start with a set of Renthal or Rizoma thick aluminum ones.....You can pull the Secondaries (Second set of throttle plates) to eliminate throttle lag.....instant rush....grin factor High !! You can also go up a couple of teeth on the rear sprocket to give it that added punch on take off with loads of low end torque!!

Welcome to the show. Good luck on your search

Well, I wasnt approved for the loan I was applying for. The bank didnt like that I only had 3 years of credit. So, a bike is out of reach for me. Thanks for all your support and help with my questions.

I suppose the reason I was hitting it so hard is that my dad and I went on a 1000 mile weekend ride last May and I would like to make it again. Hopefully something dirt cheap will come along.

Thanks again

Matt
