Off to try and get the carbs sorted now. I'll let you know later tonight how it worked out.

Viktor - you state: "What is strange is that it only occurs when I open up the throttle and start bringing the revs up in the 2000-2500 RPM area that it starts to backfire. If I back off the throttle it goes back to a perfectly smooth idle." Is this on the road - or with bike stationary ?...

Guys I need some assistance. Everything is sorted on the bike now but I still have an issue with backfiring on cylinder #4. #4 was also producing a weaker spark. At first, I thought it was a faulty coil or the resistor that is stock on the Mk.II or a faulty coil wire so I ordered new coils, wires an...

Thanks guys. Small update on the bike: Carbs are tuned well enough for now but I have a problem with back firing and a weak spark on #4. Ordered new coils, wires and caps so I'll be swapping that out as soon as possible and removing the stock coils + resistor which should eliminate the problem. Need...

It's finished!



Some work left to do on the carbs but it rides and runs and that's good enough for me. Now to get it ready for MOT.

Thanks. I'll try that as a start and go from there.

Hopefully I'll at least get it rideable then I can start working on the fine-tuning.

The ZRX1100 swingarm is almost a straight fit as I recall. You can find info in my build thread on what was needed to make it fit. Can run a 180 rear wheel too.

So I've fitted my Mk.II project with a set of Keihin CR 29's and I'm currently working on sorting out a good "base" setting for them but it is a bit tricky as there is a ton of different settings to change and 10 different settings for each. Anyone that have fitted their Z1000 with the sam...

It lives! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AEo2J4pgqQ Runs dodgy as hell here though given that its cold and the carbs are straight out of the box. First I suspected the ignition and coils where the cause of the rough idle. Then after consulting my good friend Steve (of LuckySeven Motorcycles) we ki...

A little sneak peek. http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w149/Mindless000/11138109_947641565274398_2635981426384903444_n.jpg Not much left to do now. Fit brake lines, make a gear lever, fill up on fluids, finish the final wiring. I'm pretty hopeful about taking a test ride this weekend, or at least a...

Good news! Now that I've enjoyed my vacation and bought myself a daily-rider bike (another Yamaha MT-01, like the one I crashed a few years back), I've felt really motivated to work on the bike again. Mostly been sorting out the small stuff that needs to be done. Finish bracket for exhaust, paint so...

Started aquiring some parts for the next build. A 1988 GPz900R with a ZRX1200S engine. http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w149/Mindless000/20150610_162319.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w149/Mindless000/11536131_926578220714066_2632588127480445465_n.jpg Just waiting on this kit now to come f...

Hey Viktor ,so hows the mk2 ? ,road tested? ,plus we need more pics :lol: :mor :bla Not yet. First week of vacation now so I'll probably get working on it any day now to try and finish it before I go back to work again in late July. Been working a bit on my GPz900R/1200S project a bit instead. Rein...

Thanks guys.

Preeeeetty happy with the way it turned out.
