Finally! I got my ZRX running and took it for a 15 minute ride, which went very well, aside from popping on deceleration, fading rear brakes, and throttle cables that still need some adjusting... so, some minor work on adjustments. It had better acceleration and idled better than it ever had previously since I’ve owned it (I guess replacing a broken carb can do that).
Fast forward a couple hours, and I’m about to show the bike to some friends, and then turning it around in the garage, I dropped it over on its right side and broke the front brake lever and signal lens.
While I have the replacements on order, it’s painful to wait after finishing all that work over several weeks.
