Kawasaki Other description

Up for sale I have a 1979 KZ 1000 E Shaft driven bike. This is an awesome, very fun, very fast bike. I got it off of a guy who had it setting in his barn, riding it every once in a while over the past 15 years or so. He got it off of a friend of his who had passed away, and was the original owner.


It's got some surface rust on the rear brake pedal, kick start arm, outside of the tank, and some other places. It is completely mechanically sound though. Brakes work great, runs really good. These 1000s are indestructible. I have not had the carb rack off, and the guy I got it off of said he last cleaned them out two years ago so they could probably use a cleaning. It starts up first or second kick every time though.

It has new throttle cables, and a new clutch cable. I just rebuilt the petcock with an OEM kit as well.

I did a few small things to it including:

-new tracker bars with some sweet vintage Gran Turismo grips from Italy
-new mini speedometer
-new dirt tires (400 miles on them)
-removed a bunch of things to get it lighter. (Still have all of the stock parts to go with it)
-lowered the front 3 inches, and put 1.5" shorter shocks out back
-cut the rear frame hoop off and welded a cross brace in to re-mount the stock tailpiece up about 5" closer, and made a seat for it.
-plate mount inside of the tailpiece, and put a new tri fin taillight on it on a mount I welded to the frame.
-new headlight ears
-threw some fork boots on

I hate to get rid of this bike, but I'm moving across country and don't feel like moving all 7 bikes I currently have. I planned on taking it apart and cleaning it up, and re-painting everything this winter but I just don't have the space for it.

Message me for any questions you may have, I'd be happy to answer them. The title is clear, in my name, and ready to go. I have no problem with shipping it anywhere as long as buyer assumes all responsibility for arranging shipping, and covering ALL costs.

WSBK 2012: Assen Results

Mon, 23 Apr 2012

The Netherlands hosted a dramatic weekend of World Superbike racing that featured a red-flagged wet race, several riders crashing while leading, a first-time race winner, a photo finish between two teammates and the reigning World Champion finishing out of the points because of a poor choice of tires. The 2011 WSBK Champion Carlos Checa arrived at Assen with the lead in the championship and a three-race winning streak, but opting to run wet tires in Race Two cost him the lead and may have contributed to a crash that severely injured Liberty Racing‘s Brett McCormick.

Nissin ABS Modulator Recall Explained in NHTSA Documents

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Earlier this month, we published news about an issue with certain Nissin anti-lock brake system modulators that have been connected to recalls in Canada and Japan from Honda, Suzuki and Kawasaki, with the possibility of it expanding to further models and manufacturers using the same component. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has now released documents from American Honda’s recall of ABS-equipped CTX700 and CTX700N that shed some more light into the issue. According to the documentation, a manufacturing error may have resulted in Nissin ABS modulators being contaminated with aluminum chips.
