MISSING FOR 50 YEARS - Kawasaki Triple Motors Brand NEW!! 

Thanks! I wish I could say they are mine, but unfortunately they are going back to the owner soon. Thankfully he's a super cool guy and offered them up for this video. What a rare oppertunity.

Thanks! It was my pleasure to share them with everyone.

Thanks!! I really can't imagine what could top these, but you never know what life will present.

Thanks Todd!

Thanks Bob!

It is pretty wild to think of how few of these are actually left. I was very skeptical when I 1st heard of these 2 until I did my research and confirmed with some much smarter triple experts.

Thanks so much! Your bike sounds awesome!! My brother has an S2 that we are collecting parts for to squeeze a bit more power. What is the difference with the S1 gear box?

@@PetesClassicCycle Hi mate, the S Series gearboxes share the same internals and cranks, and back in the day kids on "L" plates used to fit 350 barrels and carbs on their 250s, until the cops got wise and started counting the number of cooling fins. I've had mine since 1990, and it's been a pain but looks and sounds amazing. The 350 is perfect for thrashing too, the engine doesn't overpower the chassis, top speed is a real 93 (red lining). Good luck guys, love the channel. Andy

No problem! I really hope that it helps some guys out with their builds

Thanks Barry!

That's awesome! He was showing me pictures of that motor when I was working on this video.

Thanks!!

Thanks! You've got to be passionate about these things if you're willing to talk for 30min about zinc nuts and lock washers ahaha

@@PetesClassicCycle 🤣

Thanks Calvin!! Hit me up on messenger and come down to have a look at them before they ship out.

Thanks for sharing! I never knew that

I don't know if it is or not... That's the 1st time I ever noticed it, which is why I mentioned it in the video. In all my spare parts I have never seen that before.

The "whole kit" needs to be assembled yourself. The wor kinstruction linked in the video is only meant to be a guide. The ACTUAL slave cylinder which is "Neds" is available through Kawasaki Triples Canada in the Projects Forums, OR through Ian Budge on Facebook which was posted in the Kawasaki Triples Group. If you send me a private message through IG or Facebook I can provide you with direct links and contact info

That's SO awesome!! Check out my video with Paul Gast. He mentions Dennis and how talented he was

@@PetesClassicCycle I didn't know it at the time, but later, (much later) I learned that Dennis had a master's degree in acoustics.. That would explain why he was so successful at designing expansion chambers. At the time he was working at an electronic access control company.

There are a couple interesting things with these. If these were made after all the 1973 bikes it's very possible that kawasaki was already stocking parts shelves with '74 stuff and some made it onto these

That's awesome! A fellow Canadian Triple guy! I don't have tik tok but if you have IG or facebook I'll love to look you up.

No kidding! I often crack open my garage door just to peak in at them. It will be a sad day when they are shipped out.

Awesome do you ride it and are you in Ontario Pete has done a video on my S2

Thanks!! I'm curious if you found any little differences between this motor and yours. I had a couple people mention the clamps from the intake rubbers to the carbs being different.

Yes sir

There are still plenty of parts available for these motors. And with their popularity growing, the aftermarket scene is starting to get really good

@@PetesClassicCycle Thank You, I've been dwelling on starting an old project, but scared about parts is why.

Yes, technically you're right. But the parts is most commonly referred to as the intake manifold ir very least "inlet-pipe" as per the parts manual

No kidding! Not that I'm complaining haha

I know the replacement cases for the 750 were like that. I've got 2. But from what I've seen in my research the complete motors had numbers

i was KAWASAKI dealer in FRANCE back in 70's , order 1 engine in 5 years and the engine came NAKED no oil pump, no oil lines and no carbs and cables and no NUMBERS, maybe on a special order???? new frame same way no stamps well, well, well@@PetesClassicCycle

I would imagine that if Kawasaki was donating new engines that they would be as complete as possible. This was not a “dealer” blown engine replacement right. It was a teaching tool. @@RobertKrotki

The owner will be posting them on Bring A Trailer soon. Be sure to check in on my IG or Facebook pages for the announcement.
