can anyone tell me whats the difference between models are .. ive been looking for parts .. for my 2001 zx9r .. ive come across different models like is it a ZX9R-C / or a ZX9R-E .... is there really a difference or is this just something like a production date code or something? mine says its a ZX9R-E .. a suzuki guy i met on the road said .. it was E for Europe,
C for canadian.. etc.. i dont believe thats right so does anyone know the difference .. thanks

I'm pretty sure the letter's are for the different generations of body styles. The European models are named different all together.

I have a '93 ZX-6E, but I got a new tank from a 2000 6E and it's exactly the same.

ZX9

Hi I have all the info you need just ask if you need any more.

the zx9r in b moddle came out in 1994 and went for 2 years without change (B1-B2) it then had a minor revamp in 1996 til 98 (b3-B4) consisting of grab rails suspension and more power.

in 98 the c moddles came out with a complete re disign whils some parts may be transferable most arnt the c had less weight than the b (220K on the b's 185ish on the c's).

then in 99-2000 the e moddles came out again with a full redisign more power less weight.

in 2003 they done it again but got rid of the grab rails.

best road bike has to be the b3-4 moddles ive had one for years it tours it scratches it will do anything you want. on the road i could leave my mates on fireblades ect for dead as they could not stay up on bumpy roads. the c is a minging looking machine so dont go near. the e is the best for scratching. all in all of the zx9 range are very capbale machines. if you want a pic of a b moddle i will supply. i have seen over 175mph on the clocks on the road and still had over 1000 rpm to the red line in standard trim. blades carnt match that

HAIL HAIL I have a 98 zx9r C and you hit the nail on the head with your post... I have seen 173 mph on it and still had a little juice left but I ran out of road I had to start slowing down....
