Stroking an Kz1000

Being a Harley guy former.I was wondering when we wanted power we would bore our cylinders.When we wanted more we would stroke the engine.Can you stroke kaws?

well i suppose ya could stroke a cow if youre into that sort of thing!:blink: :ohmy: :S :dry: :blush: :whistle: oh wait you mean a kawasaki! there is no way i can think of doing it the way the crankshaft is pressed together with the rods.you might be able to do it to a 650 style motor where the rods actually bolt on the journalsB)

I see what you mean i think.So you cannot remove a rod from the crank is what you mean?

not without serious work and some fancy tools to press it back together ,you would also need some expensive one off pistons.ive put together quite a few stroker chevy bigblocks and a few smallblocks things get a lot more complicated when you start stroking versus boring lots of clearance issues to deal with top and bottemB)

Falicon has been doing these for quite awhile but get out your wallet. They also sell the required spacer plate. www.faliconcranks.com/cranks_price.html

For a "Harley Guy", $4K should be pocket change!

Pretend it is a Harley.Get the stroker crank kit
from Falicon.A 1500 cc big block,now you have 1620cc.
Get a 5000 dollar Vortex head with the 47MM/38MM
valves and a set of 5.10 lift MTC cams.Put it in a Kosman frame with a 360 rear tire.Put a gas tank
on it of a 1969 Kawasaki Bushwacker 175 (the Sportster
tank came of a 175 Ranger) and custom paint and chrome
everything.Maybe dig up a Magnuson super charger and
just run 15 inch straight pipes.That should make the
magazines.
