Has anyone tried to relocate the radiator to behing the rider? Perhaps a pair of radiators could be fitted where the saddlebags usually are located. Thanks In...
I don't see much point in locating a rad behind the rider. The whole idea of the rad being in front is to catch the air before it is obstructed by too much of...

Dear Group, Does anyone know of a data base I might access that would show the common parts of the KZ 1300 with other Kawasaki's ? I looked at a shaft drive...

Lots of race cars have them mounted aft. It's to keep air out from under the front of the car and so creating lift. But I don't see the slightest reason not...
Rob D. I have two water cooled bikes: A Voyager XII which does a good job of diverting the hot air away from the operator and a Honda Valkyrie which does a...
What about a longer narrower radiator that has shrouds to send the air under the bike? On the theory it's easier to move air than water? The narrower...
Hi Bill; I'm not sure if the Voyager Xll and the 1300 have the same fairings, but I think they may be almost the same....I never got really too hot last...

I like the idea of exposing the front of the engine showing the six pipes off to full effect a la CBX. Benelli's Tre, which is a watercooled 900 triple, has...
Phil and Rob, The biggest challenge would be to route large enough tubes to and from the new locations. certainly a booster pump will be no problem to add to...
Hi Bill; I like it!....so would you put an electric inline pump in the lines of both sides?....take pics and keep us posted...perhaps your friend could...

Bill; It was on the bike when I bought it, tho I think it was fabricated at a rad shop in Victoria, BC...a previous owner hauled a sidecar so had it made...I...

Perhaps just mount them normal like where you want them and build two fiberglass wind scoops. so that air rushing past the bike is swept onto the rads....not...
Nope. That is not the original top or bottom tank. They built a brand new radiator. I also have a very large radiator which I had built professionally. When I...
Kawasaki made a shroud (aftermarket) that you could purchase and install that helped greatly. I have one. But I did install a much larger radiator. I haven't...
Riding sedately and accellerating slowly and evenly my bike pulls great, but as soon as I open the throttle fast it loses all power and starts missing. I've...
Brian, Missing under load? Lean mix maybe? Badly clogged air filter? Air leak at the intakes? Carb diaphragm(s) have some holes or rips? stephen ... From:...
I wouldnt mind seeing pics of your shroud...is it fiberglass?..also is there a screen to protect it from rocks and debris off the road?... "Larry A. Colin"...

Although I suppose that it could be a poor ignition issue, I would be looking for a lean fuel mix first. Because it sure sounds like you aren't getting any...

I also would look at your timing....My brothers bike had the same problem...it was good if you took your time but as soon as you opened up the throttle it...
Dear Group: I need a little help here as to what to do Yesterday morning at my local publix I saw an 83 Goldwing sitting in a far end of the parking lot, so I...

Call the cops, it will probably end up in the local impound lot and will be sold at auction with a bill of sale provided to the proud new owner. The cops can...
PPS The police HATE abandoned vehicles. They have to pay the towing and storage fees. As a private property owner it is very difficult to get rid of an...
I still think you should look at the cam timing. If just one cam is retarded 1 tooth, or because the timing chain is worn loose there is retarded timing then...
I still vote for coils, wires, plugs and a carb clean! But check the cam timing for safetys sake! Check out the great features of the new MSN 9 Dial-up, with...
OK took off the coils and one (2&5) has the 5 HT lead detached, previous owner must have tried to unscrew it. also every ht lead at the plug cap end looks like...
