I have a centre stand! Luxury!

[Kylinski]

Usually before cleaning the ZZR I would have to pop it up on an ABBA stand and hope the bike wouldn't slip off as many owners have experienced in the past 

So nice to have a center stand for wheel cleaning, and so nice not to have to degreace rear wheel, clean and re lube chain  Bliss!

Centre stands are a joy, I thought you could fit an aftermarket centre stand to the ZZR 1400

But I'm not aware of any shaft drive kits for the ZZR

no drive shafts for zzr ,centre stands are readily available for the zzr,  had my last two zzr 1400.s with centre stands fitted  from new , I bought secondhand centre stands from e bay for my previous zzr.s  , makes life so much easier !!

Keith, out of interest, how do you think the ZZR comfort  compares to the GTR

You will need to lube the stand now and again as it sometimes needs a nudge to retract fully when you roll the bike off.

I thought you had something similar Jim, for attaching your keys to your kecks       

You may have to google 'Kecks'

the zzr with bar raisers and lowered pegs was quite comfortable for me ,the gtr is more comfortable due to the more upright position, the zzr was improved for me with the bar raisers and even though the lowered pegs were only about £20.00 on e bay and an easy fit as are the bar risers they made quite a big difference, I found both seats on the zzr and the gtr uncomfortable as was the gel seat, I went from a zzr 1200 to the gtr and did not expect such a drop in power from the 1200 to the gtr 1400 ,but I got used to it and did enjoy my time with my gtr , both different bikes , but you cannot compare the power difference between the zzr 1400 and the gtr 1400 ,a completely different world. now on the k 1600 gt and have never rode anything any were near as comfortable ,,you either hate the 16 gt or love them , at present very happy with the 16 ,but I do miss the zzr fantastic ride ...

not an after market stand , Kawasaki supply and fit them as an extra, you can get cheaper aftermarket stands , but when buying a new bike I always had the dealer to fit the stand before delivery ,cost around £240 from Kawasaki , but when buying a new bike you can barter with the dealer !!

You'd win that bet...it's either something to do with vomit or pants...I'm guessing in this context it's pants.
