Re: ZR 550 exhaust collets
92027 (8) is the part I need. The bike is in Crete and the exhaust is rotten, I found one in Germany , when I came to fit it i found out the one on the bike was not a OEM so the collets were totally different. The cost is high so I'm hoping to find collets of another bike will fit. Thanks for your h...

ZR 550 exhaust collets
As I am struggling to get good condition collets, could some one please give me the measurements of the collets. Then I can check other manufacturers for collets that may fit.

ZR 550 exhaust collets
Wanted 8 exhaust collets in good condition. Bought a used exhaust in not bad condition, but the exhaust on my bike is motad and not original, so the collets are different.

Gaskets
Just looking at the cost of gasket sets and the gt550 or the gpz550 are cheaper than the zr550. Surely the head and base gaskets are the same as well as most of the other gaskets?

Re: Cool cylinder
Hi, Thanks for your reply. I did have new plugs installed but the old plugs looked okay. I cannot remember the exhaust temperatures, but they were about 80°c on the cool cylinder and about 120°c on the others. As I've said this bike is in Crete, so no more information can be asked until I go back in...

Cool cylinder
I live in Wales but have a zr550 B1 in Crete as my transport when I go there. My local bike mechanic was doing some work for me, sticking brakes, and a oil and filter change. He then showed me a temperature gun that showed cylinder 2 was about half the temperature of the other 3, without any explana...

Zr750 exhaust
Does anyone know if the zr750 exhaust pipes are the same diameter as the zr550? Need newer exhausts on my zr550, so my plan is to get zr750 exhausts and cut off the silencer and weld my zr550 exhaust on. Any problems? Mainly because zr750 exhausts are soooo much cheaper.

Will any other exhaust fit? Gpz550 or any other Kawasaki 4 - 1.

Re: 17 tooth gearbox sprocket zr550
Sorry for the late reply.
I want to up the gearing to get more mph per rev, as I find the std gearing is a bit low. When travelling at medium speeds I feel as if the bike could do with another gear.

Re: 17 tooth gearbox sprocket zr550
My main reason for looking to up the gearing is that the 550 is a rev happy bike and while in 6th I'm still looking for another gear. So I thought gearing up and lowering the revs might help.
