Hi, I guess you can say I have jumped back in to motorcycles in a big way. My first cycle was a 1969 BSA Victor single cylinder 441cc that I owned in the early 70s- and that was my first and last until now. MY mechanical and motorcycle passion finally won out and I found something to dig my teeth into. Now I hope I won't be shunned by this forum because technically this bike is a little right of center for a Z1/Z2 classics site. It is a 2005 KZ1000P police pursuit motorcycle (530 LB). If anyone feels a sense of outrage please let me know and I will fade quietly into the night. However, many of the same Kawasaki parts and repair suggestions apply- as do basic processes. I have had it for 3.5 weeks and already I have the carbs off, and the top end off to the cylinder block with the cylinder block and pistons next. I thought it would be good to share some of my experiences, photos and screw ups and also have a chance to ask some questions. [ img ] [ img ] |

I am looking for a low cost police bike, but I want something a little older. Last winter I had a chance to buy a 1975 police version, but it was on the other side of the country (Canada) from me and I decided against it. Generally the police versions seem to be cheaper than the sport versions. Not sure why...they make excellent touring bikes. |

Hi there - a very nice bike indeed. I live in Copenhagen, Denmark where we do not have police bikes like this (all are new modern models). How/where did you get it, and is it still possible to get bikes like this even if you are from Denmark? Brgds., Hans |

Hi keconinsanfran, Welcome to The aZylum! You and the KZ-P are most welcome here! Nice find, too. How did you get the carb bodies so spotlessly clean? Good Ridin' slmjim & Z1BEBE |
