BTW, did I hear right, second gear missed first? That is problem that can and will occur with this model eventually. I suggest to repair before it goes bad. On My Gpz 1100 -83 second gear didn't work at all for last two years. I swapped motor, it had worn out valves, worn out camchain, leaks everywhere... But always it brought me home.
I use to run a 82gpz body on a home made chasse with the motor off My 78 Z1rTurbo. Motor was stock except for 1mm over/Turbo piston/valve springs/valve job/38mm carb it dynoed 210hp @ 20psi it ran 9.90s/10.0's all day long with my 225lbs fat ass on it. I ran a slick with bars, MSD w/2 step & an Air clutch/Elect shifter, Very Very low budget. Had to replace the factory axle because it bent it on a hard launch went to a 1" & never happened again. I dont race any more but now Im restoring My Z1Rtc.
i had a 1983 gpz/zx 1100 i did some mods on it like i got rid of the dfi and put flat slide carbs ,a complete rebuild on it , i think it was a little over 1200cc it had an air tech lowers and a bigger swing arm for more rubber on it , 150 size rear tire, it had a a.p.e timing chain and a manual tenchiner lock, it was a great ole bike but i traded it for a diesel truck , it was to fast any ways for me , but i had fun!
Thanks for the comment mate, this bike is history now as Pauly invested in a full dragbike frame and is now into the high eights with mild boost and not much track work, so will post some news vids soon hopefully.
A stock GPz1100A1 will run 11.2 at 121 mph according to Kawasaki. I have owned two of these machines and they're great for straight line work. Is that Turbo setup from an Austin Metro Turbo? Never seen a turbo setup carburetted at the vacuum side of the turbine before but it obviously works!! Great vid, thanks for sharing
not sure on the year mate but yes its a one off thats in pieces at the moment for a radical change. not sure on the price as pauly did all the fabrications himself.
if ur gonna drag race it lower the front, stretch the rear at least. a turbo/1100 could run 9's. nice bike though if its mainly for street riding. enjoyed vid.
thanks for the comment mate, ol pauly is on a very tight budget but the next on his list is a fat slick and wheelie bars, but will pass on info bout the mods you mentioned
