Carbs don’t normally make metal grinding rattling noises. There are definitely not normal noises coming from the top end of the motor kinda sounding like it’s grinding it self to pieces. Good luck.
Cool Bananas! She’s alive. Well done, this re-build has been a pleasure to follow along on. We are keen to hear what the future holds for this bike, I hope you keeping her.
Carl, well done series. I have a KZ1000 (Americanization of Kawasaki edition # 9/200) that hasn't run in 15-25 years. Yours is the first KZ video series I found that covers beginning to end videos. So helpful and well shot and explained!! Thank you so much. Any chance you could post a short video showing us the vendors and people that you used to complete the project? For instance, the people that provided rear master cylinders, and others. Again, thanks and congrats on your beautiful Z1R completion!!
there are a bunch of aftermarket performance upgrades on it. The 34mm Mikuni flat slides are one of them and they were jetted for the Kerker by the guy I bought them from... Redline cycles.
