Hey guys. . . . .so my '04 zx-10r got stolen a month ago and i had to find a cheap replacement. I got an amazing deal on a 1998 zx-7r but the things been sitting in storage for 5 years.
The tank has a lil rust in it and I was told the fuel pump is also leaking. . . .. and obviously a carb cleaning will be in the works.
What I needed to know was what years were the zx-7r parts interchangable?
can I use an older or newer model gas tank/pump if needed?
Thanks in advance. . . .

From 98 to 2003 the bikes are the same. List your problkems and I can give some help. I could disassemble my 2001 ZX7R in my sleep, and knew every tick and bump on it. Peace:cool:

Actually, '96 through 2003 are all the same. With the exception of the ZX-7RR which was produced in '96 only. Even then, the parts should be mostly interchangeable if you can find them and want to upgrade. The -7RR tank is aluminum, which makes it lighter and impervious to corrosion, but they're expensive and easily dented.
A lot of the old B-model ZX-9 parts ('94-'97) will also work on ZX-7's. I'll have to look and see if, but I might have an old fuel pump from a ZX-9 of those years that might work for you. Don't know what condition it's in though.

You can always Kreem the tank to take care of the rust.

Soon as I have the bike back together I'll post some pics. I just picked up the Kreem combo pack and I'll be doing the work tomo. I'm actually really excited to ride this bike. Hopefully soon.
