hi wats up guys i need some help i just bought a 1997 kaw. ninja zx7r from my friend and was very happy until 2 months later. the bike just shut off on me one day when i moved up my drive way. i tried to start the bike back up and nothing was working. i turned the key to on postion and no lights on gauge cluster where on like the neutral light or oil light. so i figured it was battery or something. checked wasnt battery had a full charge. then i took it to local bike and they said the wiring on the bike was all messed up and the bike wasnt getting any spark. so i said try to fix it he said its going to need a knew cdi box. so he installed the new cdi box. the bike ran for about 3 weeks when the same "poo poo" happened again. but the thing is when i got the bike back from shop it seemed slower than before and when i would put the bike in 6th gear on the highway it slow down instead of speed up. i would have the gas full thorle and still it was slowing down. and sometimes it would jerk while riding. i called the guy back from the local shop and he said the bikes wiring was too messed up and it would need a knew wiring harness but then when i called back he said he doesnt want to get involed with this bike. now what i please need for u guys because i know "poo poo" about bikes is what can be worng and what should i do. when my friend had the bike it never gave him a problem.
