I am the second owner of this bike, which I purchased in the summer of 1986. I belong to an inline-four group and got all the info. to upgrade this bike from folks in the group but the main person for info. drag races these bikes and has been doing it for years so he knows all the tricks for setting up these bikes and also what works and what does not. I SET IT UP TO RIDE..

To get the best all around performance (expectations) from this 810 kit, the head was milled .020", degree the cams to 105 (stock setting) and the use of Flatslide Carbs were used. Also have change the sprocket from 630's to 530's to reduce weight. The exhaust muffler is a Supertrapp with the end cap drilled out; bike is also using Accel coils. Have always used Silkolene 20/50 Comp 4 also known as RaceLube. The cycle is now using progressive springs. I also replaced the 4-channel oil cooler with a 7-channel one from a later model Kawasaki.

The stock Kawasaki clutch fiber discs are a good choice for the street in a 750 but after updating to the 810 kit I added heavier clutch springs.
The motor was rebuilt about 23,000 miles ago, the trans was done about 4,000 mile back. The swing arm was also rebuilt a few years ago.
The bike was repainted in Mid-2003 and the finish still looks like new.
I have added an Easy-clutch to reduce the load on the clutch lever for those heavy traffic days. There is also a bicycle (Avocet 35) speedometer as these bike read about 15% low. (you are only doing 85 when it reads 100) this setup is nice as it also keeps record of you max. speed reached on any given trip until it is reset. There is also a temperature gauge and a digital voltmeter built into the console.
Tinted Lockhart Speedscreen, clear turn signals, sport seat, custom made taillight, chromed starter motor cover, nickel-plated foot peg mount, polished grab rails and handle bar ends.

The bike has to go so all serious will be considered

  • The turbo's are nice bikes, very stable at very high speeds but steer like a tank, (very heavy) off the line they are dogs unless you are holding the rpm's at 4,000 and dump the clutch. I have run this against my own turbo which was running perfect and I smoked it off the line, turbo would catch me at the other end but not by the end of a 1/4 mile

  • got to Craigs list (philadeplhia) and search for gpz. you will see my ad there. email me there and I will see if I can help you out.

  • ya i did get a hell of a deal but i still think the turbo would beat this, c'mon that bike wont run a 10.71

  • Neither will a stock turbo, as fast as the are going from 50 to 140mph. They are a dog off the line. The are the heavest steering bike I have ever owned or ridden for that matter. Nice to tour as they are smooth on the highway and can go all day on one (725 miles in one day on the bike and I could have gone further but on but suck around the city. For the most part it is a trophy bike. (oh, I had put 19,000 miles on my Turbo before I sold it)

see all

  • I had a GPz750 but the engine had so many problems from the previous owner that it went to scrap. Now I have a 1984 GPz 900R that still can hang with the Hayabusa in terms of 1/4 mile time without eating tires or chains on a monthly basis.

    I have the same Supertrapp exhaust except that mine are 4 into 2 as I like having pipes on both sides (for looks only, 4 into 1 produces better power spread).

  • Nice bike and well worth the price(now $2500 on Craigslist) considering all the parts. Could not build one for the money. Seem you on the road

  • your bike was a credit to you....I wish more people treated their bikes as well...especially when I'm trieing to buy them!!
