Kawasaki Other description

Just want to get this part out of the way ... I will not ship the bike (internationally or in US). I don't know how and don't want the responsibility of doing so. I am happy to meet up with you if you're local or deliver within 25 miles personally (once the funds clear), but please don't ask me to deliver. I'll drive it to a delivery place if its semi-local, but that's about it.


1975 Kawasaki Z1 900 for sale.

I have owned this bike for over 20 years and put it together myself (for the most part), but I never ride it anymore and it is just sitting. I want you to be comfortable with your purchase so I will do my best to explain everything in detail as best I can, the good and the bad, but please ask questions.

The good:

Starts right up and rides great. Pretty fast by 1975 standards.

Engine:

Entire top end has less than 5000 miles on it.

  • Weisco 1075 piston and ring kit
  • Cylinder was from a KZ1000 I believe
  • Webb "Hot Street" cams
  • 28mm Mikuni smoothbore carbs
  • Dyna electronic ignition (points conversion)
  • Dyna coils
  • HBE (Hot Bike Engineering - formerly Denco) exhaust.
  • Exhaust is ceramic coated silver color.
  • Oil cooler.

Frame/Chassis:

  • Corbin seat - not even broken into my butt
  • Frame is powder coated black
  • Lester wheels
  • Tires (forget brand) are in great shape still
  • Dual disk setup came off a 76 LTD.
  • Disks are pattern drilled
  • brake lines are new steel brained line with a smoke color coating
  • Master cylinder is new aftermarket
  • Handlebars are lower drag style
  • New grips, mirrors, headlight cover and polished aluminum handlebar cover
  • Gauges have custom faceplate I made (see more in the not so good part below)
  • Forks have progressive springs and the fork seals and oil have less than 5k miles
  • Polished rear swing arm is off a Suzuki GS1100 and so are shocks.
  • Fenderless rear bracket for light and license plate (I made it)
  • Inside of gas tank is ceramic coated
  • Pingle fuel petcock
  • new battery (forget brand .. from Pep Boys last year)

The not so perfect ... :

  • Tach and speedo gauges are jumpy. I think I forgot a washer or something when I put on the faceplate stickers. the gauges bounce around.
  • Tach and speedo gauge lights aren't bright. I tried to put in blue LEDs bulbs but dint think it through properly and the light is blocked by the stickers I put on. you can see it, but not as bright as it should be.
  • Sprockets are geared for more low end. I forget the tooth sizes of them but I remember thinking I wanted it fast off the line. in retrospect, I should have geared it a little better for highway cruising. It isn't horrible, just revving higher than I would like for doing 70 on the highway.
  • Oil leak from stator housing. I tried fixing this and must be doing something wrong. It's a brand new rubber grommet for stator wires and new gasket and it still leaks. I am sure I just did something wrong.

 That's all I can think of that is wrong with it. Please ask questions and make sure you're are comfortable before bidding. Like I said, I want you to know what you're getting and feel good about it. I have owned this bike forever and have mixed feelings about letting it go. would love for it to go to a good home.

K-Tech release 25SSK for Big Piston Forks

Mon, 21 May 2012

K-Tech have released their popular 25SSK front fork open cartridge system to fit all Showa Big Piston Forks. Here's what K-Tech have to say about them: These lightweight aluminium units are supplied to the same exacting specification as all other 25SSK fitments with 14mm piston rods and a 25mm cartridge tube, the 14mm piston rods displace a large volume of oil through the 25mm control pistons giving enhanced damping characteristics over the standard Big Piston Fork and allow a bigger volume of air for a more precise feel at the bottom of the fork travel. The cartridge kits have compression and rebound adjustment in both legs and are supplied with 1.5mm Flow Control Valves for a more accurate adjustment, all necessary hardware is supplied to convert the Big Piston Forks to take the cartridges but it is necessary to order the springs you require as these are not included, customer price for the 25SSK cartridges is £725.00 + VAT and are available for the following models:- Honda CBR1000RR 2012 Kawasaki ZX6-R 2009-2012 Kawasaki ZX10-R 2011-2012 Suzuki GSXR600 2011-2012 Suzuki GSXR1000 2009-2012 Contact K-Tech on: +44(0)1283 559007.

EICMA 2011: Kawasaki Versys 1000 Not Coming to U.S.

Wed, 09 Nov 2011

While Kawasaki unveiled its Versys 1000 at EICMA, don’t expect to see it on American roadways any time soon (edit: but if you live north of the border in Canada you’re in luck, as it will offered for CN$13,999, a bit higher than the Z1000 but the same price as the Ninja 1000): What will we be missing? A bigger, badder version of the original Kawasaki Versys seems to be the answer. “Created as the long-awaited big brother of Kawasaki’s mid-size any-road street surfer, the new Versys 1000 is designed to enable the greatest riding enjoyment in the widest variety of street riding situations,” Kawasaki Motors Europe says in a release.

Seeley On Form On First Night Of North West 200

Fri, 16 May 2014

Alastair Seeley took a double in the Ballymoney Borough council Supersport and Pirtek Superstock events at the start of racing at the Vauxhall International North West 200 this evening, what many “real” road racers refer to as the precursor to the Isle Of Man TT. In the Supersport race, the ‘Wee Wizard’ survived being caught up in a first lap crash at York hairpin that left him languishing in 16th to come through and win the opening race of the night on his Mar-Train Yamaha R6. Lee Johnston was the rider who went down in the first lap crash, causing Seeley to take evasive action to avoid going down himself.
