'Apologies for the slight continuance of OT'
The ZX750E1 was a complete tw@t when I first got it. Used to tank-slap at anything above 115mph (not on the public highways you understand)

I then found a 'nick' in one of the fork legs.. only small but big enough.. which explained the rather odd handling. One fork had no oil!! Played my face and got the fork changed.. changed the tyres to Dunlop Endurance and it was better and eventually went to a rear profile Pirelli Phantom on the front and a rear Phantom on the back which sorted it. Turbo lag.. err, no. Kawasaki made the only production turbo that worked

The turbine sat about 8" down from the exhaust outlet so no lag whatsoever

Between around 7000 and 9000rpm, it was so quick it was difficult to change gear and stay on

The turbine cut in at a smidge over 7000 and it was relatively easy to get it bouncing off the rev limiter (I was younger in those days and could do more than one thing at a time)
That bike ended up getting me a divorce and subsequent marriage to the present Mrs B
