Why bother, I have been told hot rodding these bikes will only cost alot and make them crap to ride, oh yeah and it will only run well for a week then need repair. he should have just bought a zx6.
Yeah, and i bet it doesnt pull 13,000 - 15,000 rpms either :laugh:






















Good thing I don't listen to the few unhelpful jack holes on these forum or I couldn't appreciate this machine. And I do, I really like this bike. I hope the owner/builder turns up on the forum one day! Some people can truly enjoy the process of taking something common and making it unique.

WWWAAAAAAHHH!!

Definitely SWEET!! Did you ask him if he's heard of KZR? I'd like to get some more details. Cool bike!

Anyone know what those bikes used for a fuel system? It doesn't appear to be a blow-through carburetor setup...

I don't know about this particular bike, but I had one of the original ATP kit Z1R-TC black moly bikes and it used a Zenith carburetor and had an electric fuel pump to pump the fuel up to it. The whole system left a lot to be desired to say the least. Zenith should stay with TVs. I doubt any relation to LG/Zenith, but what junk that carb was as was the entire motorcyle thanks to that ATP kit and rotten paint job.
On a brighter note though, this Z1R looks really great and with some work and know how it looks as though it's sorted out wonderfully.

Looks like the typical drawthrough KZ system.

Blowthrough setups are a lot less common on these bikes.
