, Which a 17 year old turbo diesel engine which has proven thousands of times on countless miles in thousands and thousands of Gulf II on almost all roads of this planet. In a way, this project is also under the heading "scrap Flott 'lead. Charlie has substantially completed the feat brought a golf 1.6 l diesel engine in the frame of a Kawasaki GPZ 1000 RX accommodate. What was surprisingly without changing the frame geometry. It had to be extended or changed anything welded. When selecting the gear they decided on the one GPZ 900 R, which was unceremoniously removed from the engine block. , Unfortunately, the VW engine crankshaft to the output on the wrong side, or the transmission's input. To solve this problem, an intermediate shaft was made, which transports the power of the engine from the left side to the right to the transmission input. So you could at least elegant, the speed difference between the VW diesel and compensate original Kawasakimotor. Finally, the original engine turned loose twice as high as that now used diesel. Once this hurdle had been cleared of the rest appears almost exclusively as a big puzzle game.

The framework for an assortment of selected components from the Kawasaki-kit was installed. Fork and brakes are from a ZX 9 R, the wheels turned in a former ZX 7 R, the rear is taken away in the swing of a ZXR 750 R. Some things had to be trimmed or even filed. Thus it was necessary to weld a Auspuffkrümmeranalge itself to put at the end of the mufflers a VN 750 which may conform closely to the rear frame is also created in the DIY. above the engine was just a dummy tank space that originally the fuel for a Suzuki TL transported 1000th The diesel is now required is found in the self-built aluminum engine spoiler _unter_ the bike. There is also the 2 batteries can be found. These are necessary because the diesel is started with the original Kawasaki starter. He is not 12 volts to spin the situation in the higher compression engine, with 24 V, however, already. With an elaborate relay system, the starter gets to run 24 volts during the rest of the electric equipment, continue to supply the usual 12V. Whether all these solutions work in practice, the diesel Fighter show now in the driving test. Thus, the findings will certainly lead to further improvements of the Diesel and Charlie Fighters ultimately help Hopefully his real dream come true to be able to more perfect. A diesel motorcycle with the three-cylinder unit injector TDI of the 3-liter Lupo. Who wants to learn more details about the origins of the diesel Fighters should read the Bauprotokoll. There are also many pictures of all phases of development.
