I know there's not many kwacker owners here but I'm having a bit of trouble and hoping someone can help as no bike shop seems able to...... After an oil top up the other day I obviously forgot to screw the filler cap back on properly..... 5 miles down the road I put my foot down at traffic lights and almost go over....I look down and my boots and jeans are covered in oil and filler cap nowhere to be found... So after a week searching the internet and bike shops still no joy at replacing it.....Ebay has lots of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PRO-BOLT-OIL-FILLER-CAP-ZZR-600-ZZR600-1993-GREY-/250572145136?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3a574381f0#ht_2265wt_978 but I have a '92 ZZ-R600 D model and am guessing that they must have changed the diameter on the E model onwards?? As it specifically says '93 on. If anyone know if this is true or if that would fit please let me know.... I'll owe you a pint! Richard

So after looking at the wiring diagrams in my Haynes manuals I decided that maybe the job wasn't so urgent (because I had no clue what I was looking at!) and that I should replace the rear tyre ready for MOT next week.... After sourcing (borrowing....they can have it back in about 3000 miles!) a new one from work I decided that I could do it very cheap by taking the wheel off myself and taking it to my friendly tyre place to put on for a tenner. Surprised to say that although I managed to make this job last the day it wasn't a complete disaster and I am roadworthy again...even tightening my chain which was much needed! Funny how you can be so proud of doing something so easy by yourself... makes you feel like a real biker....lol
