hi all
at the moment i am going to be putting my gpz A2 engine in my Z9 frame till my Z1 engine finished it will be running full dyna 2000 ignition the problem is what wiring loom do i get or can some one make me one up ?

Andy, I have an Z900A4 and I bought a "new" wiring loom from ZPower I think I paid about £165, earlier this year I was speaking to a guy with an early '90's Bimota with a Ducati Superlight engine, he had contacted one of these guys who advertises regularly in the bike press - he wanted £1000 to re-wire his bike
£165 is a bargain!

That is good price but the problem is will i need to buy 2 different looms one for the GPZ and one for the Z900/100 when i go to change engine back over

Will it fit and mount ok The 900R frame is very different to a Z900 - in fact, the engine is part of the frame on a 900R.

Sorry - thought you meant you were trying to put an A2 GPZ900R engine in the frame.

That is ok not a problem, thanks for trying to help

Andy, where do you live?
I've wired 100's of bikes over the years and specialize in Kawasaki.

Ferret by any chance?

Ferret quoted me £45 per hour to rewire my Z1000R and told me it could be 2 days work so I would not see much change out of £1000. I'm sure he is very good but I could not afford that. I bought a 2nd hand loom from J Browse and replaced all the connectors from either cojaycat on eBay or Vehicle wiring Products. My switchgear is a combination of Yam R1 and ZX7R. Blow up a copy of a proper wiring diagram and laminate and away you go. It took a while to do properly but the job is really neat, everything works and I got rid of loads of redundant wires to switches you probably don't want. Go for it!

Look at the engine mounts before you go any further.

Agree engine mounts are different.

PAULJAC47 Yes it was Ferret apparently, reding the reviews in magazines I'm sure he does a good job and he does come to you, but.....

if your using a dyna 2000 ignition,i carnt see why you carnt use the standrd 900 loom,charging system might be differnt but sure you get round it
