[golftangoromeo]

Hi all I'm thinking of swapping my ZZR1400 for a GTR after riding my friends bike i found it much more comfortable. Ant thing i need to look out for ?
Thanks

Just avoid Merseyside at all cost! Oops too late


Only kidding of course, welcome to the forum. Depending on the age, whether it's a pre or post 2010 model check that the rear shock adjuster hasn't seized. 2010 models were prone to this. Check that the tyre pressure sensors aren't bringing up Low Battery warning as that canbe an expensive fix if the bike is out of warranty.  Apart from that just the normal things, check for play on the wheels to ensure the bearings aren't on their way out. Check for leaks around the shaft drive etc.

Welcome to the forum golftangoromeo, the GTR is a fine bike just check the areas that Wolf has already mentioned

I have both and they each excel at different things, the GTR is the most comfortable fast tourer( I had panniers and box on the ZZR but not in the same league) but when you twist the throttle on the ZZR there is nothing like it, I don't ever not want to have that insanity to play with. I would consider chopping the GTR for something newer, shinier,technologically more modern (KTM 1290,GSA,) but I haven't thought about replacing my 09 ZZR not even with a Gen 2 as I think the Gen 1s in green look way better
