Re: GPZ 750 1984 restoration project

I’m not familiar with those models, they’re not UK designations. Do you have a photo of a 1000 GX so I could possibly recognise the UK equivalent?

Cheers

Re: GPZ 750 1984 restoration project

I enquired about some main jets at Wemoto which they don’t stock so, on the off chance, I called in at my local Kawasaki dealer. They were able to get them from Kawasaki so I’m hoping that the same will be the case for the shock linkage bearings too as they’re not listed at Wemoto either.

There ...

Re: GPZ 750 1984 restoration project

You may still be able to get the bearings; I’d try your local Kawasaki dealer first.

Re: GPZ 750 1984 restoration project

You often find that the anti dive units have been removed and blanking plates used to blank off the holes.

I read somewhere about how to test them and I’m not sure that I haven’t seen repair kits on eBay but I’ve never heard of them being a service item before.

I’d be inclined to just put them ...

Re: GPZ 750 1984 restoration project

Speaking of syncing the carbs, have been thinking about buying one of those Digisync manometers.
http://thedigisync.com/
Not a plug for it, but it does seem to be a reasonably priced option compared to the old vacuum gauge/mercury things, with the claim of being more accurate.

I would wonder what ...

GPZ 750 1984 restoration project

Cool David, lots of luck with it.

I have news. Checked out that crack in the tank. Turns out is was a crack, but it was in the body filler under the paint.

Disaster averted. Lucky I probed it with a tool before buying another one.

Cheers. I had a bit of time today so balanced the carbs; it ...

Re: GPZ 750 1984 restoration project

Thanks @The_fixer. Only the top bike is mine, the other two are just to show where mine is going.
I’ve actually got three GPz750s, the third came with the second but in pieces along with many other spares. I’m intending to build a special with that one and recently picked up a ZR7 for bits. It’s ...

GPZ 750 1984 restoration project

Hi, I’m new here and from the UK. I’ve a couple of GPz750s for restoration. One’s now back on the road for the first time in seven years and is my current focus.
