Hello all,
Appreciate this should probably be under the ZXR or Racing section but I need to get as many eyes on it as possible to get the ball rolling. I’ve recently picked up this ZXR which I’m intending to race in Pre Modern. I’m completely green to Kawasaki’s (pun intended...) so I’m going to need to ask lots of irritating questions, starting with – I need a spare set of rims for wets and since it has Marvics front and rear, plus different discs and calipers on the front, I’m wondering if any existing Kawa stock rims and discs are going to fit up easily (will need to be visually the same to wheels available in the Period – 1990 to 12/95). As best as I can measure with the wheel on the bike (I know, I know…), the disc offset looks to be around 16mm. The internal distance across the rotors is 150mm. The front wheel spacers are about 30mm each side. Any ideas what might fit in? I guess the disc offset is going to be the important dimension as spacers can be made to suit if any different.
The rear 5.75 Marvic is about 220mm from the inside face of the rear sprocket to the disc. I’m guessing a 5.5 is going to be the better option for wets as a 6” is probably over-tyring it, unless of course it so happens an available 6” turns out to be the better fit?? Also guessing any Std Kawa rims are either 5.5 or 6, with none made in 5.75??
Lastly, I don’t have much history on the bike but apparently it was run by a privateer team in the late 90's called SRT who used to buy the old model team bikes. It has certainly been race prepped very well and has all the good bits so if any one has any clues or knowledge on it I’d be grateful. It has a Hallam head and kit parts, but as the kits changed each year I don’t know which bits it has, although I suspect its 94 and/or 98 as it came with a 94 and 98 parts list.
Rgds, Jason
