    It has 30k miles but the paint is custom and really nice. But there are some issues with the right handle bar hitting the gas tank. I don't know what I should do with it since it doesn't look like its adjustable. People are asking me what I am going to do with my viffer. But there is something to be said for a bike with a gas gauge and center stand.

    What do you think?
    Also I need a manual online. Does anyone know where I can get one?

    dude - ZX9's are cool rides, but kawi trannys suck. My buddies on his 2ND rebuild. Tis a shame, its kinda the last of the bigger thought liter bikes. A bit of the longer wheel base, less radical steering. My buddy and I have done 1500 miles - of course I on the viffer.

    I still have the viffer. I drove it home from the dealer today since I wasn't going to trade it. But here is a picture with the new seat cover. (for those just tuning in the old one was white and slippery. Now its black and like rubber grips)

    If the right handle bar hits and the left one doesn't I would make sure that the frame or forks aren't tweeked. It doesn't take much sometimes. They don't hit the tank when they roll off the line, so something is different.

    nice ghost flames, but I'm thinkig ZX9world.com or something would be more likely to have the manual available ;-)

    No such luck with zx9world or ninja world... but I now have read up on the ways of the ninja and fear nothing.

    Well I loosened the handlebars and removed a retaining bolt. I tightened down the the grip in the right position. I learned from the VFR's that it doesn't need a retaining bolt so I got it tight. And its now a blast to ride. I might have even sold my viffer today but the dudes looking at it tried to low ball me by offering half of what I was asking. So I still have her. I really wanted to get a viffer when I was looking but there were none used and the new ones were to high. 11k. But they are sweet.
