IMO the ZX10R is the best sounding flatplane I4 superbike

The S1K lacks character. It sounds like any of the 600s but without the charm of the extra revs. The fireblade sounds better and more unique but not as intimidating as you’d want.

The ZX10R on the other hand has this angry and raw sound. Only way I can describe it is it still screams but there is much more bass and resonance to it. I have an arrow exhaust on mine and it sounds like Godzilla approaching to destroy your city.

Lost key

So I have a 2007 ZX10 and I lost my only key. I had to order the spare blank one. From what I read, they aren’t chipped at least not the US model. Is there a way to find out other than taking the ignition off to find the key code I feel $150 is steep to just cut a blank Key is what I was quoted from a locksmith. I’d rather order a pre-cut if I can find the key code.

My rebuilt 2019

Still not done with it, got some carbon side fairings coming in the mail but I bought this bike from a kid who wrecked it, I fixed it up, then I wrecked it... Fixed it up again. I love these 5th gens man. ABS deleted and traction control off and she becomes an animal who just wants to wheelie and make me an eluding felon. Call me crazy but I daily this thing to work and put on 4k miles in 3 months.

Does anyone have a similar price out of a 2026 zx10r? This seems like a terrible deal on a base zx10r non abs with a 2025 zx6r KRT non-abs (4K miles) as trade in. Was expecting closer to 10-11k difference for payout.

I just bought this brand new 2026 zx10r and for some reason the throttle under hard acceleration will VERY aggressively cut the throttle and I cannot for the life of me figure it out I’ve only changed the exhaust to a SC project 3/4 pipe and no tune yet.

Any ideas?

It's a 2020 se model. Anybody have any suggestions or things to keep in mind with it?

Spent about 15 years with zx6r's, thinking I'd never get the 10 but, here we are.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everybody! I just picked up a 26 zx10r (in black) not too long ago. Upgraded from a zx4rr. It's not my first big bike but its my first liter sport bike and I have a question about shifting during normal *legal* riding scenarios.

With my previous bikes (softail, road king, zx4rr) I could shift like butter, but with this beast I can't get a bead on where she likes to shift? The owners manual has me shift into 6th by like 30 or 40 mph but that doesn't seem right? Usually I'd be in 3 or 4th there. Like when I shift with the clutch or the QS it's like there's a delay between engagement and power and she'll jump or shift kinda hard. Am I missing something here or am I just going through the growing pains?

Thanks for the help!

Edit: I am in the break in period. So I'm trying to keep it at or under 6k rpm. Is that where my issue is?

Anybody doing 4th gear clutch ups?

2019 zx10r. Bike loves 3rd gear. Basically anything between 50-70 it comes right up. I want to learn standups and see most guys online doing them in 4th. Mine really doesn't want to come up in 4th. Do I gotta just be a man and yank that thing up harder or?

Just been running 190/55 on all my bikes, never tried a 200/55. Just wondering how much difference it makes? I will be doing the odd track day here and there, I usually run metzler raceteks k3's, happy with them but just thinking about trying the 200's
