Z1000 M1 CSR Speedo swap info

#1 PostAuthor: Dark Skies » Sun Mar 16, 2008 5:18 pm

The speedo on my CSR only goes up to 80 / 90 MPH. Does anyone know what other speedos I can replace it with? I'd like to keep the same dimensions as the current clocks - just need the indications to go up to 140 / 160 MPH. Did Kawasaki stick with the same internal gearing ratio? The front wheel is 19 inches. Speedo is cable driven.

Cheers.

The CSR was an American only model,the LTD models had an electronic speedo.
Try a Z650 140MPH or Z900/Z1000 160MPH but they are a slightly different style.
Possibly try the Z750 LTD clocks :?:

There's a Z1R clock going on ebay which look very similar in style - do you think the gearing might be out a tad though? I think the Z1Rs might have had an 18" wheel.

It won't make a LOT of difference, just read a tad higher, which has a 2-fold benefit,
1# Think your bikes faster than it really is
2# Make you slower/safer with the old speed camera's :P

I run 17" GSXR wheels with the standard clock, and it reads a fair bit higher, but no more than +10% :wink:
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

Thanks everyone - snatched it from everyone right at the last minute for ?39 with a despicable sniping proggie. Hope it wasn't from anyone on this board. :)
