@NesteHukka2 ...and when mixture is richened from "enviromentally safe" to "engine mechanically safe" level, detonation problem might go away. Colder sparkplugs.... I have designed mods to fairings so that cold air is directed towards intake, while other plates direct heat from motor away from intake.
@171apples171 It is often said that it is difficult to predict, how air flows near intake of inline four bike. Aircooled feeds through hot air into direction of carbs.
When my GPz1100 -83 is concerned, I will never put back the original air filter box. I have my own design aluminum rampipes with foam filters and result was better that I thought. More important is that music, that individual runners make "in stereo" below the fueltank. :) Higher octanerating is easiest to start with.
@carcrazyy hey my name is steve i live in fla,i have a 1980z1r 1000 painted it kawasaki green i also own a 1984 harley but love my z1r more go to my facebook s_adkins@att.net steve adkins,profile tell me what ya think?
Sweet bikes man, love the Kz1000R my dream bike !! Nice to see some people still have the old school kawasakis around I got a couple myself but I wanna get a Z1 or Z1R or id love to find me a kz1000R but so hard to find now days!
mines an 81 KZ1000 LTD, yesterday i got it running AWESOME. i called my mechanic and he said that the rattly noise will go away in the 2 left cylinders if i install my airbox because he said it so hot in there without one that it pre-igniting the fuel without the airbox and he says misfiring can sound like the motor is coming apart if its bad enough. Nice bikes, I recommend Euro-bars for the 81 LTD.
