Kawasaki Other description

I purchased this motorcycle in July 2009 and immediately started restoring it with many NOS parts.  I’m an engineer by training and performed the majority of the work myself with the exception of some specialist services.  The restoration was completed in October 2010 

 

I've only put a handful of miles on the clock since the restoration due to a new family addition and work demands.  Everything works as it should with the exception of a carburation issue - the engine idles extremely well, but hesitates in the midrange.  Its something I just haven't had time to fix.

 

The motorcycle was fully stripped-down and the following work was performed:

 

Engine:

Engine number:  H2E 46186

New crankshaft - it was in its original kawasaki box and wrapper

Barrels re-bored, honed and correctly chamfered (standard port timing)

+0.5mm pistons fitted.  New small end bearings

Barrels and heads glass beaded.  Crankcases cleaned using a lot of elbow grease (no bead blasting).

New seals and gaskets installed.

Carburetors rebuilt using new internals and gaskets.

New Kawasaki pan head fasteners used throughout the engine.

 

Frame:

Frame, swing arm, side stand, center stand and lower triple-tree powder coated in semi-gloss (as per original).

Rick Brett replica frame id sticker on headstock.

NOS swing arm bushes.

NOS headstock bearing races installed

All semi-matt parts such air cleaner, instrument housing upper triple-tree power coated.

 

Suspension:

Front forks rebuilt with new stanchions and new oil seals and o-rings fitted

Rear shock absorbers cleaned

 

Bodywork:

Resprayed and clear coated with Rick Brett decals

 

Seat:

New seat cover and side trims

Solid base pan with reproduction decals

 

Brakes:

Master cylinder rebuilt and new piston kit fitted.

Caliper rebuilt with new piston, seals and o-rings.

 

Chrome:

All original.  Rear view mirrors are NOS.

 

Mufflers:

All original. Minor dent on the underside of the outer right muffler.  Baffles re-packed.

 

Wheels and Tyres:

New period Dunlops, tubes and rim-tape fitted.

Bearings inspected.

New chain and sprockets fitted.

 

Details:

Spare sparkplug holder, tool-kit, helmet hook stickers, coil wire labels.  All spit-pins are new Kawasaki parts.  NOS rev counter cable.  NOS clutch cable. All seals replaced.

Behind The Scenes: The Making Of the Ninja ZX-6R vs The Isle of Man Video

Fri, 15 Feb 2013

You may remember last fall’s release of the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R was accompanied by a mind-blowing short video commercial of a rider screaming around the 37.33-mile Isle of Man TT course aboard the new 636 Ninja. Now, Team Green has just released a “Making Of” video about the production of that video, featuring TT star James Hillier.  This behind-the-scenes short film shows the crew capturing Hillier as he passes within millimeters of the camera. You’ll see the camera-equipped pursuit bike racing side-by-side with Hillier, as well as the aerial heli-cam.

Michelin Unveils New Tire for Dual Sport Motorcycles

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

More than half of the new BMW R 1200 GSs that roll off the assembly line in 2013 will be fitted with Michelin’s new big trail tire, the Anakee III. BMW and Michelin worked together to co-develop the dual-sport tire, which is designed to deliver all the safety and off road capability big trail motorcycle users demand. The Anakee III will also be available as a replacement option for other leading dual sport bikes, like the Suzuki V-Strom, Kawasaki KLR, Triumph Tiger and Yamaha Super Tenere.

ABS Option Coming for 2014 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Classic, Nomad and Vaquero

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

Anti-lock brake technology has become fairly commonplace for motorcycles now, and it sometimes comes as a bit of a surprise when a major manufacturer does not offer ABS as an option on certain models. The European Parliament making ABS mandatory by 2016 has helped push things along, as manufacturers work to equip their models with the technology ahead of the deadline, not just for the European market but also for other markets including the U.S. New documents released by the California Air Resources Board reveal Kawasaki will offer an ABS version for its 2014 Vulcan 1700 cruisers and tourers for American consumers.
