Does The GPZ1100 Fit In Here? If Not, Where?

Hi Bill
Welcome to the site.
The Clymer service repair manual, 1000 & 1100cc Fours. 1981-1985 has a reasonable section on the EFI system.
I have a KZ1100 with GPZ1100 EFI fitted and that too works well

That's good to know, because I DID happen to pick up on a new Clymer manual for the Kawasaki 1000-1100cc that covers 1981-2002 and, now that you mention it, it DOES seem to have a pretty good coverage as well. I knew from past experiences that there were times that the factory manuals had info that the others seem to leave out and didn't know if that was the case here, or not.

Seems like the EFI is a decent way to go.

Awesome. I remember riding that bike and thrashing it years ago. What a nice bike that was!

BTW Folks, Now don't go throwing rocks at me but, I have another deal that I happened on from a buddy of mine, and it's not a Kawasaki. This deal is one that ALSO set me back and I won't be parting with IT either! Now, if you all are ready, the photos of I'm going to show, aren't the actual bike, but one that mine is detailed after. the differences between the one that you are going to see and mine are: the seat (mine is stock), the polished engine covers are finned (mine aren't) the exhaust is a Kerker (mine isn't, but looks like it) the air cleaner pods (mine has the stock air cleaner). So, now that I have told you all the differences, here is the OTHER good deal I happened to get in on, a 1980 Honda (yep) CBX.

Well, the only way I can seem to put THIS photo on here, in to provide a link and if Someone could change it to the actual photo, I'd sure appreciate it. I hate it when that happens.

Take care, Bill;)

Hello Bill...did you pick that bike up from the Austin CL? If not, its' twin is currently listed there

Found it on ebay listing that was in Oklahoma, next door, you might say (since I live in Arkansas). The guy IS a big Kawasaki Four (900cc and up) fanatic and has several 900s still. Really nice guy too!

Later on, Bill;)

Was it a fellow by the name of Mike that you bought the GPz from?

I love the CBX! Meanest six ever, that big forward leaning engine always looks so cool. I've never ridden one, but I've always heard it feels like more than 105hp.

You've got to show a pic from the front, those six pipes always make me stare.

that bike was parked in the back grandstands gravel lot at laguna seca for the ama superbike races last year with another cbx..also very..very...very clean.....if it "is" the exact one i saw it was spotless.....Patton wrote:

I love all the old muscle bikes. I remember when the CBX, GS1100, and KZ900/1000 were all over the place, back then you could get some really cool muscle cars for cheap also...

Bill,

You are absolutely killing me here. Are you going to show up on www.cbxworld now? I from time to time poke around on that forum too. Not because I own a CBX, but just because I hope to someday own one, and would like to know what to look for.

You suck! :laugh: (Seriously I am jealous, but glad for you at the same time!).
