[@richardcerritelli9657]

The reason I like the Kawasaki ZX10 better than all the other liter bikes is because it's the most comfortable that's the key reason for getting one of these bikes on the streets they're all fast and Overkill what separates this one is the comfort in my opinion the second reason comes with cruise control speed shifter and everything else.

[@rawdogramos3975]

The ceramic coat just makes that green pop! Incredible review I don’t have the RR but that green is a jaw dropper!

[@CK_RIDES]

Thank you so much.

[@Niobium23]

This is fantastic information to provide. I found the same thing, the bmw vibrates, the Ducati has quirks, and I found the Honda to be fragile. But the Kawasaki is smooth and strong. It’s reliable and silky. It sits at the top of the food chain for sure. My H2 will always have my heart for the same reasons.

[@CK_RIDES]

I concur. Thanks so much for the support.

[@Spider55]

I know exactly how you feel, I have a 21 RR with a mooremafia tune. I've been riding ZX series bikes since 1990 & used to race a ZX7R. I've dropped close to 30 lds of the bike, 3 lds in just bolts & nuts. My next big purchase is going to be Carbon Wheels. A lot of people think I'm nuts because I park my bike in my living room, being I have a three-car garage.

[@michaelj.kastner5165]

It will feel 100x better when you install a manual Ohlins Steering Dampner!! Best $500 I ever spent. I absolutely love my 2023-ZX-10-RR, I have never ridden sooo fast soo easy!!!! Iam sooo happy I ditched the Honda-RRR-SP, that bike was annoying and too small. Cruise Control is a game changer for me, it really comes in handy to relax and not get speeding tickets. Every sport bike needs cruise control 😁

[@CK_RIDES]

So far I have zero complaints about my Ohlins electronic dampener. It works very well.

[@zxtenn]

I am 68 and had a 2005 ZX-10 when they came out, i paid 9500.00 for it!!!! How is the RR VS the R in performance with those Titanium connecting rods, etc.? You got some SERIOUS HP gains there, i ended up leaving my stock to keep it quiet, for me it was fast enough, i DESTROYED a few 600's several times and I wasn't a track guy but plenty of guys then had a good exhaust and steering dampener to avoid that tank slap that could occur in the lower gears.

[@CK_RIDES]

The RR is heaven on Earth. Once of my most favorite bikes ever in my stable.

[@charlessawallich1870]

same bike, that 10r would try to kill you if you weren't carefully with no steering damper

[@juliuscarlopoblete2092]

wow.. for me that output "IS" the sweet spot.... if you want more then you gotta do the engine internal mods like head works, changing cams and doin dynamic balancing for hi RPM application which in turn will make the bike the close to a dedicated race bike.. may i suggest the Suter Swing arm for that wonderful bike..

I've have tons of bike my 2015 zx10r 45th anniversary edition...... hands down best bike I've ever owned ! Hopefully I get another zx10r or the rr as I get older I would consider a h2 se or a new hayabusa for a bigger touring bike as well, but really hoping for another zx10r they are under rated bikes, I don't enjoy the seating position of a r1 and I'm not crazy about the engine sound, I don't really like Hondas power delivery and their bikes don't really look great, I wouldn't consider a gsxr1000 these days maybe like a 2015 or 2016, ducati is out of the question! Don't like at all, bmw catches my eye they are solid bikes. So here would be my list for my next bike #1 a brand new zx10rr. #2. H2 se sx or hayabusa #3. BMW S1000RR

Thanks for the support

[@oon3laststando]

Could you please clarify this for me because when I listen to you talk about it, I cannot follow what you are saying as it doesn’t seem to make sense…. Ok so “decel fuel cut” is always turned on from the factory and cuts the fuel when you roll off the throttle which gives you that jerkiness… especially the slower you are going…if Chris cut it off, then that would smooth out the ride which but potentially make your quick shifts/blips rougher which is what he told you… and in that video you said you wanted your shifts to stay smooth so he left the decel fuel cut turned on (or at least that’s what I thought I understood to have happened)… so here is my question, does the way Chris flashed your ecu have your bike cutting the fuel when you decelerate or not???

[@CK_RIDES]

There are two different types of programs when you’re flashing, the ECU one is the diesel fuel cut the other is the quick shift map. Woolwich has both, but the Kawasaki ECUs do not allow you to adjust both simultaneously so you have to choose between stock or what Chris could do in order to take away the throttle drinking is when pulled off the gas. If you notice in the video, he kept working my fuel mat to give me the smoothest transition, even though I opted to keep the quick shifter stock. My bike doesn’t jerk at all when I pull my hand off of the throttle, it’s very smooth which is a testament to Chris taking his time and also listening to what I wanted because my bike literally has the best of both worlds no jerkiness, and my auto blip is completely smooth.

[@oon3laststando]

So the decel fuel cut is still on and your bike does cut fueling on deceleration?

[@RT22-pb2pp]

Unless you are a pro racer no way you can judge a 1000 sport bike in 500 miles. First if breaking ion right you never push a bike in first 500 miles. even if broken in 500 miles is barely enough seat time to get used to bike and its quirks. Like I said if you are pro racer or very experienced sport bike rider nothing you learn in 500 miles will tell me anything. I have ridden 40 plus yrs 30 on sport bikes with track time and racing schools. I would not judge a bike in less than 1000 mile logged to really get to know it, 500 miles for me is a weekend jaunt, and until you ride enough to reallt flog it and see how it hold up you are just guessing.

[@CK_RIDES]

I appreciate the comment. Another review coming at 750 miles and 1000 miles. Stay tuned.

[@wb7942]

I have to ask (strictly about the riding experience/how it feels): Does a stock ZX-10RR feel 62% better than a stock ZX-10R? 1.62234 is the 2024 USD MSRP ratio (using a ZX-10R with ABS as the baseline).

[@Mr...N0body]

Question, have you ever driven an h2 and is it like similar in power to the zx10rr? Cause they are pretty close price wise.

[@CK_RIDES]

They are VERY different bikes. The H2 turbo is insane

[@Mr...N0body]

@@CK_RIDES I mean a 2k difference for a super charged bike is crazy😭cause I feel like most people would just buy the h2 instead of the zx10rr. Idk tho, ig different uses and different power.

[@Albertalorian]

I'm curious why you swapped out the master cylinder? Just feel? I find the Stock Bembo one pretty awesome, after I gave it a proper vacuum bleed, using a Mittyvac Pro and Motul 5.1 fluid. I also did the Dave Moss method of cleaning/aligning the calipers pads, and the brakes are deadly (i'm swapping vesrah rjl brake pads next) Love the bike and the build, I have an Alpha 3/4 sitting on the shelf for mine, can't wait to try it out.

[@CK_RIDES]

For me, it was just a matter of preference and being familiar with the caliper feel during hard braking. It was not an expensive upgrade, and I had the part on the shelf.

[@runitjamadar4417]

Hey ck love from India 🇮🇳 just had a curiosity about the steering damper back here in India we are in an boom of moto vloggers but all the zx10r once are crashing and probably 3 of them did die so what's the issue here in India people are throwing the electronic and putting a manual steering damper, put some light on this and compare it with the zx 10rr steering damper

[@kupalisky3553]

probably gripping the bars too tight. the damper corrects wobble when it happens, not prevent wobble. If you hold too tight and fight the wobble, the damper cant do its job

[@CK_RIDES]

I’ve heard that. But mine works excellent.

[@CK_RIDES]

That’s all true.

Most people do these 3 things when speed wobble happens. Grab brakes, try to fight wobble hit back brakes.
