Kawasaki Other description

2000 Kawasaki ZRX1100, The heart of the ZRX is its 1052cc motor which is based loosely on the ZX-11 mill, although it has been tuned for more of a midrange punch rather than top end. A similar process was used for the mid-'90s GPz1100 (ZX1100-E1), which combined a detuned ZX-11 motor with a budget chassis and GPz-style bodywork. A lower compression ratio (10.1:1 vs. 11.0:1) combines with less lumpy cams, more flywheel effect and smaller (36mm vs. 40mm) carbs to give the ZRX a flat torque curve. A gear-driven counterbalancer quells secondary vibration, and a five-speed transmission (one less cog than the ZX-11) is utilized. Cosmetically, the valve cover has been polished to emphasize the dual-overhead-cam layout, polished cylinder fins have been added (although water-cooling is used), and the engine side covers have polished fins as well.The end result of the tune-down is a motor that makes more than 60 foot-pounds of torque from as low as 3000 rpm, peaking at 71.5 foot-pounds just under 6000 rpm. While the peak number is down slGivi Trunk, Yoshimura Exhaust.
