1990 Kawasaki ZZR600 0.6L Petrol · H812 CCA

The most recent MOT in February 2024 was a pass, but it followed a failed test only two days prior that identified several defects. These included an inoperative registration plate lamp, an insecure headlamp, insufficient travel on the front brake lever, a binding rear brake, a loose drive chain, and wear on the rear lower suspension pin or bush. There is a visible pattern regarding the braking system and suspension. The front brake has previously shown excessive fluctuation in effort, and the rear brake was noted as binding during the 2024 failure. Wear on the rear lower suspension pin or bush was also noted in the most recent pass. The trend of defects appears to be worsening, as the 2024 failure involved a much higher number of issues across multiple systems compared to previous years. The mileage of 60,677 is very low for a 36-year-old vehicle, representing roughly 1,685 miles per year. This low mileage may indicate lighter use, but it can also suggest the bike has stood for long periods, which often leads to the types of issues seen here with the brakes and suspension. A buyer should inspect it carefully in person. It is most important to check the tension and condition of the drive chain, the operation of the front brake lever, and the smoothness of the rear brake.
