nice one 2 kwacks, looks great, but i do like the green also. out of curiosity have they managed to do anything to quiten down the clunk into first gear yet, that was the only thing that spoilt my zzr 1441 ?
I've not ridden my new zzr1400 1441 yet :cry: because it was still in the crate at the time I said :yes:  but all kawasakis clunk in first gear. I remembered my df8 model doing the same but I soon got used to it, infact don't think I've had a bike that doesn't clunk when first gear is selected, infact even my gtr1400 clunk in first gear. did take the 2012 zzr1400 1441 :smiley: for a test ride when we had one on demo at work. but I didn't recall the clunk when first gear was selected, but that may be because I was use to my df8 zzr1400 doing it. infact even my 2012 zx6r clunks when first gear selected.  anoying..  :yes: will it do any harm..  :no: suppose it the nature of the beast :smiley:

Nice bike but better in all black, dont like the green flashes, bit of an after thought, who was the dealer you purchased from.

   Congrats on the new bike, told you that you would miss the thrust !!!

Are you gonna keep the 636? or will you be one kwak oneyamahonduki ?

it's not a 636 :no: they stop producing the under seat exhaust model 636 in 2006. it's the 600 model which have got or should I say had! since the arrival of my new grandson in june 2011 :smiley: I now tend to mind him on my rest days through the week on the days my daughter and wife are working, so only really have enough time at weekends to enjoy just one bike. I happen to mention this to my kawasaki dealer and due to the zx6r only being 6 months old with only 1,200 miles on the clock and the preformance edition he said he would be willing to take the zx6r in as p/x as well, he also offerd me a very good price for it :smiley: so the fact I will most likley be riding the zzr most of time :smiley: the zx6r would be getting even less use and also be worth alot less next year :yes: so after much consideration :grin:  it seemed the wise thing to do :smiley:

yes  i agree most bikes clunk a bit into first gear,my other zzr 1400's had a clunk,aswell as my gtr 1400 but i used turn my tickover speed down slightly by using the throttle thumb turn adjustment,which brought the clunk down to an acceptable click,i have always thought that if my gears were clunking it would be doing a bit damage somewhere ?? unfortunatley i  couldn't turn down the tickover  speed on the 1441 as it does not have the manual adjuster, so unless i started it in first gear i found the clunk on mine really harsh a lot worse than the 1400's. you think kawasaki would be able to do something about this on such an expensive prestige bike. but like you say all the kwacks do it, it just used to bug me  a bit, i used to get loads of people staring at the bike when it was at a standstill at lights ect,  but it was a bit of a let down when i put it into first to pull away with the clunk.never mind you  are obviously used to it,i found it to be a terrific ride with much better handling than the old 1400 good luck with it and enjoy,all you need is some descent weather.

ha..! but run it into what!! geoff with the greatest of respect :yes: I've got enough respect for you and my old mans request to run in the zzr 1400 1441 :grin: and for this reason alone, I'm afraid I will need to decline your request and my "old mans" request :whistling: to have ago :smiley: but by saying  :no: to you and my old man :grin: we all can still enjoy both your hilarious and outrageous requests :mfr_lol: but I may let you sit on it, the next time we meet at devils bridge :grin: providing you don't take us of the beaten track again :whistling:

hi kwack!!!!!!! i see the dealer your got got your new 1441 has your old bikes advertised on e bay.goes to show you how a dealer can ask high prices for there bikes and we know what to expect if we try to sell them private, he's certainly not shy putting  on the price tags!!!
