|
|
About $&*^#@^ time!
With the lightened rods and other internal work (and gearbox work) done to my FJ, missing a gear at high rpms could only prove inevitable fatality for the engine...this unfortunately happened a couple months ago with a piston coming clean out the block (don't ask) and since then i've been waiting for an engine from NY. Well i've been informed that the engine is in the country and I should be picking it up later on today so......vroom vroom soon soon...
Anyways, the install should happen sometime later in the week. Should only take a few hours but i've decided to take some pics to show the process. The carbs will be serviced and tuned as well and all flairing will be re-assembled. I got the bike in 5 box of parts earlier on in the year and the assembly (though a damn nightmare) and paint job would have been a long interesting read in the project room, but this will just be a scaled down version of that.
Stay tuned in for pics later on in the week. _________________ Ghetto Breed. |

Well, it works! install went as planned yesterday, and now the motor is firing once again. I didn't take much pics but you will get the jist of it from these shots...
Engine just installed...
Carbs and parts to be installed...not as bad as it looks....
Meh boy Roshan installing starter and alternator in the engine (owns a '02 R1..bess bike mechanic)
The fj after the install, tune up, test ride and clean down....(Rass in the background has a '05 R1, extensive bike knowledge there..)
The finished product. Gave it ah blast lastnight, works great. The lower scoup had a crack in it that was repaired but I didn't get time to paint it. It will remain in that chrome spray untill early next week. _________________ Ghetto Breed. |

Krazy.....
The carbs have a stage 2 jet kit installed, that went well with the other mods on the previous engine. On this stock engine, if I stand at a traffic light for a couple minutes, when I launch and back off to shift to second you get a serious ball of fire due to the bigger jets....cool I tell you _________________ Ghetto Breed. |

KAWASAKI ZX11C, 1990-1993
The thrill factor generated by the ZX11 remains difficult to match to this day. Kawasaki always tries to build real world comfort and practicality into its sport-bikes, and the ZX11 was no exception. For such a hugely powerful machine, it retained a certain civility. It was comfortable, quiet and smooth, and very easy to live with. It could be said that the ZX11 had a split personality.... one the sedate sport-touring motorcycle that blends in very well with the sport touring crowd, and the other is a fire breathing full on sports machine. Despite its large engine, the ZX11 handled like a good 750. It was lower, lighter and quicker steering than any of the competition. All in all, the ZX11 was a fantastic package. Many who bought the machine for its performance were very pleasantly surprised by its 'other' character, and its ability to keep the riders grinning after long periods in the saddle. Power in 1990 was 145bhp, with torque of 80ft/lb's. Wet weight was 581lb's.

^^^Correct Narend. apart from that info, the zx11 was the fastest production bike of it's time and the first bike introduced with a ram air system..... 320km/h on the clock (i've done 280km/h one time.....VERY frightening!).
See more info here...
