Upgrading z1000r heads

#1 PostAuthor: Robw » Sun Nov 15, 2009 3:17 pm

I have got another head coming(cheers Jack) and I want to know what the general consensus is on modifying it. Do I go for big valves, is 1mm oversize worth it or bigger. Gas flow and twin plugs. Lumpy cams?
It already has a Wiseco 1170 pistons and 33mm Keihin carbs fitted, with a twin tap fuel tank in the pipe line.
I know it might cost abit, but I need to do some fiddling :shock: in the garage during the long winter nights and my wife although is very understanding won't let me have another bike, so the money has to go some where.

Cheers Rob

+1 Raf knows his onions :wink:

Just get the bike running spot on - check clearances, valve timing, ignition, power feed to coils (assume you're running Dyna coils), carbs set up right - get her dyno'd - and that'll make a difference :twisted:
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!
