My Z1000A2 starts easily, runs smoothly, ticks over smoothly,
you'd think theres nothing wrong with it but its always seemed slower than everybody elses, its got no kick in the pants feeling if you see what i mean.
Last week i got my old GS650 shafty motd and taxed and even that feels faster.
Everything as far as i can tell is set up right, any ideas anyone, supose it would be a good idea to put it on a dyno ?

...................green ones are faster :wink:

It could well be down to fuel/air in - vs - exhaust out :!:

What carbs, air filter, exhaust you got

What was that re-ocurring problem you had with the Zed last year :?:

Standard air box and filter, carbs, jets etc
Exhaust, 4 into 1 as pic but have to say baffle hole is pretty small
problem had was a misfire which was cured with new dyna s leads
