Kawasaki Other description

Hard to find 1978 Kawasaki Z1R, Kawasaki's entry into the Superbike war of 1978.  Good running, well kept bike.  Bike was painted black sometime in the 1980's and the stripe kit to duplicate the 1980 Z1R paint job was added later.  There are small nicks and dings but is still shiny and presentable.  Seat is cover is a very nice newer duplicate.  Exhaust is a Vance and Hines 4 into 1 that's a few years old and in very good condition.  Not real loud but has a nice sound.  Bike runs good, tank is clean inside and it has no oil or gas leaks.  Tires are older but serviceable.  Original kickstarter lever that belongs under the seat is gone and stock windshield was replaced 2 years ago.  Have the little chrome cover that goes over the seat lock but the spring is missing.  Fresh oil change and new battery.  Everything works but the fuel gauge. 
Overall a good rider quality bike or a good candidate for full restoration. 

Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.  Please check shipping costs before you bid.

It has been brought to my attention that the tachometer may not be original.  That could be the case.  There could be other items replaced, repaired or missing too as this is a 38 year old bike that I have only owned a short time.  This is not being advertised as a completely original or pristine bike.

2013-2014 Kawasaki Ninja 300 Faces More Brake Issues

Mon, 09 Dec 2013

Earlier this year, the Kawasaki Ninja 300 was one of several models impacted by a recall on Nissin anti-lock brake system modulators. The fault for that problem clearly lay with Nissin, as the same issue affected other motorcycles from several manufacturers. The little Ninja might not be out of the wood yet however, as other brake-related issues have come up.

Thu, 09 Jan 2014

From the News That Sounds Too Good To Be True But, Boy, Do We Hope It Is Department, MWR Air Filters wants riders to know that its MWR High Efficiency Air Filters are breaking new ground in air filtration technology. While the company’s name might not be commonplace among performance oriented riders – yet – some pretty big names are using MWR filters even though the company doesn’t pay sponsorship dollars. According to MWR’s press release, “the reigning WSBK champion, Tom Sykes uses MWR Air Filters in his Kawasaki ZX10R.” Also, 17 riders at the Isle of Man TT were running with MWR filters.

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.
