1978 KZ1000 Project - Part 12 - New Exhaust Sound, More Tuning!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- I'm back with Kawasaki's 1978 KZ1000 project. I have switched out exhaust mufflers in an effort to get more midrange power. The bike is running great above 1/8 throttle so I'm trying to dial out the small stumble I sometimes get below that throttle setting. New rear shocks are also in the works. What are the next steps? Let's find out together!
I just brought an 82 GS850 back to life. It’s Good to know I’m not the only one repeatedly making fine adjustments to get 100%.
Welcome to classic motorcycle ownership! Cheers
A superb classic
I have wanted one since I was 17 and got into motorcycles! Cheers!
good vid jon.
Thanks, David!
I wonder how the bike would sound with a Supertrapp exhaust , if one could still be found .
Good question, I'm not sure. Cheers!
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Gorgeous bike! I agree with you about the A model bodywork, looks better, but I do love the LTD front fender. I have owned a KZ900, and three 1000’s (including a Z-1R)….😢 I miss them!
Thanks, Michael! The Z1R is also a beauty! Cheers
Hey Jon do you work on other people's motorcycle. I have a 1981 Honda CB900 that is giving me a fit with the carburetor. Is there a way to contact you? Thanks
I don't do work on other people's bikes. I'm very busy with my current projects. If you have a question, you can post it here. Otherwise, you can contact me at: jonsmotorcycle@hotmail.com
Such a good looking bike. The flat seat has got to be a plus for riding comfort.
It's a nice improvement. I think the new shocks will help too. Cheers!
Great looking bike. Look forward to the full ride review. RIDE SAFE OUT THERE JON!
Right on, thanks Henry!

Thanks Andrew!
Another beautiful bike Jon. I myself prefer the sound of a Kerker pipe. Ride safe. Cheers
Thanks Rick!
@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 You are most welcome bud.
Hi Jon what size main jets are you running ?
Because these are VM29s, I'm running 115 main-jets (as recommended by Mikuni). It runs great up top. Any richer makes it run worse.
For trade? 2000 HD duece?
@@jreinheimer1 Sorry, the LTD isn't currently on the market. Cheers!
Beautiful classic machine 👍👍
Thanks!
It has a great sound
Right on!
Another great bike Jon. Again this is how modern bikes should look like!
I agree that the KZ1000 is a classic beauty. Cheers!
