Dan L says... Not a hope sunshine. Your Zephyr makes 93 HP (67.9 kW)) @ 8000 RPM. The air-cooled 1983 GPZ1100A made 120 HP (87.6 kW)) @ 9000 RPM. Like I said, there's bags of tuning potential.
Bear says... That's all he ever told me too. I never took the head off to compare it with a standard one. Which is precisely why I swopped the race can for a legal one.
FFS, how's it do that then? Cams? Carbs? I see a plan unravelling before me. Were the old GPz1100's Twin Spark heads then? -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My bike 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr M'boy's bike 2003 Honda NSR125R (Going) Spare Bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X (Patio Ornament) BOTAFOT #140 (KotL 2005), X-FOT#000, DIAABTCOD #26, BOMB#18 (slow)
I fear you are right. It highlights the difference between catalogue engineers and proper engineers. -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My bike 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr M'boy's bike 2003 Honda NSR125R (Going) Spare Bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X (Patio Ornament) BOTAFOT #140 (KotL 2005), X-FOT#000, DIAABTCOD #26, BOMB#18 (slow)

What are you all thanking that idle sod for? By his own admission he does sod all but bung a couple of posts up. <g> Thanks to all at the pub though, staff and customers. Top point for me was Mups thinking the turbo was going along without a rider as I'd tucked right down behind the screen. My first ever CIHAGM, got to love that 80s lack of, well everything but the go really fast in a straight line really. As with a lot of HAGs today it was one of my teen dream bikes. I'm so fucking glad I didn't take the part 2 back then and get one, I'd have been through a hedge and minced in short order. Having been forewarned by Mr C. 'I'd like you to go round that corner, yes, the one up there, you've got plenty of time' - adjust line, countersteer, push bars, lean. 'No, really, I'd like you to show that I've actually given you some rider input' - repeat above in a firmer fashion and it was fine. He proved he can not only flat foot but also flat hand the ZXR400. I'm not going to let him sit on the Benly.
I'm 6'6" without shoes on but will have a go at the next *oSM, perhaps when it's moving I'll manage to get shorter legs or find somewhere else to hide them.
