KAWASAKI ZX7R | STARTING ENGINE TEARDOWN 

Ok i see you decided to dig into it. Good

Awesine channel bro! Love the ZX7R and going to buy one myself. 😎

With the valve cover off, double check the timing chain rubber is still attached to the underside of the cover. They apparently like to fall off or just fall apart, drop into the pan, and then the chain rubs the two metal points where that rubber went. Found mine missing when I did a valve cover gasket job.

Will you do a video breaking down the timing and how to make sure everything's set up. Mind giving me a hell of a fight.😅

"I wish you had made this video 8 years ago when I bought my 99 zx-7r. After two days of riding, the second gear in the gearbox shattered. Your videos would have been useful back then, but thankfully I got the gears replaced and now, 8 years later, the same motorcycle is still in my garage and running just as well as before."🤗 Waiting part 8 🙈

There’s a plate behind the counter shaft, that’s the shaft that the sprocket is on. That plate will have to be removed to split the cases. The sprocket will be in the way of removal.

Man, you are brave! Good luck!

HOLA como estas. excelente videos de como restarura una kawasaki zx7 tengo el mismo modelo y estoy haciendo una restauracion tambien, gracias por tu video me ayuda de mucho. podrias mostrarme como son los cables de acelerador orginales. mi moto es del 1996. saludos

By the way, you’re going to have a hell of a time getting that front sprocket off w/out damaging the transmission. Also to get that gear out of there you only have to split the cases you don’t need to take the cylinder and cylinder head off.

Just watched each episode on the 7R. I get it - that you're not a mechanic and this a massive learning experience. I've watched you Learning the hard way! Bold wrong moves many times have made me cringe but you've been pretty transparent about the mess ups and what to learn from them. So fair play. It's pretty uncomfortable watching somebody skip steps that I know are gonna bite him in the ass and wallet shortly after. Seeing somebody so keen getting deeper and deeper out of any noon's safe depth is a real shame, then the build series goes dead for a year? Maaaaaaany rebuilds are gathering dust and rust exactly like this seems to be. Its easy to lose your way with a tricky project that suddenly gets much too big for your skillset and experience level and facilities. That's when it's time to ask for help and research and discuss a new game plan, staying open and honest about your lack of knowledge and experience. Join a strong forum or group dedicated to the specific type of bike you're struggling with. Fess up to the fuck ups. Share the problems and invite some much needed assistance... some wiser, older, crusty, grey haired, patient, interested guy's will step up and be happy to keep you dead right and get your stuck project back on track. I bet ya. I'm just such a guy on a few groups relating to all the bikes I've owned and worked on in racing. Get into the ZX7R community online and see what happens! The real bike community that this era ride comes from will be a saviour and restore your lost mojo to get your ninja kicking ass again.

You might look into putting the crank from the previous generation of the 7r, pre 96. Gives it a longer stroke, supposedly fits right in.

とても助かる！

Came back to try again and the video has sound this time, must've been something going on with Y.T. Good call on not doing something you don't have to. Probably a lot of work to drop that motor.

continue with videos #8

Do you know how to time chain on zrx

Glad i found you on here, totally addicted to watching this build....and im definatley interested in any info u may have on a running riding Zx7r that you either have, or know where i can find one. pls hit me back and let me know...is this the last episode of this build?..

That engine is very close my older version. I had a 1991 and then a 93. Slight differences between them so 91/92 is one manual then a supplemental manual for 93-95, then your version was next but I never had your version so I’ve never seen the manual for yours. What am I driving at? I wonder if you need the previous manuals for complete picture of what to do. If you are going by some supplemental you may not have enough information. What manual are you using?

I also found these plastic parts in my oil, took off my valve cover to see if the chain guide was cracked, but it wasn't cracked. What parts did you have? where could that come from? I would appreciate an answer

#8 never came😢😢😢

What happened to the rest of the videos ?

No more movement on this?

I just take lots of photos when I'm stripping down bikes....

The fact that the starter was spinning at idle was the starter freewheel. Because of this, the engine does not have to be taken out of the motorcycle.
