					zx-11 / zzr1100  
					
					
 Classic, 
					simple and reliable, the ZX-11 / ZZR1100 is one of the nicest 
					and funnest bikes to ride - kind of like a full-race Lincoln 
					Continental.
 It's relatively mild state of tune 
					just begs for a bit of "tweaking".

				| ZX-11 (US), 90-05 | 
				ZZr1100, 90-01 - 
				all years |  
		The Carb Recal Kit and the Ignition 
		Advance Rotor perk up the low-end and midrange power and response for quicker 
		warm-up and more response. The Factory Carb Recal Kit will, when properly 
		tuned, absolutely eliminate the 4k-4.5k flat spot at cruise.
 Full throttle acceleration is very significantly improved - making the Factory 
		Pro kit the best choice for drag racing AND non track applications. Sounds 
		crazy - but, if the carb is tuned to deliver fuel at proper rates at full 
		throttle, part throttle cruise and all rpms and throttle positions in between, 
		the engine will simply produce more power under touring use, drag use and 
		in town use. It takes the  
		Factory Pro Low 
		Inertia EC997 Eddy Current Dynamometer (really - it does) to accomplish 
		this.
 
		Expect fuel consumption to increase 
		a bit, but certainly not 10%. I'd expect 3%-5%  - unless after the 
		kit install, you start enjoying full throttle acceleration more!
 The Transmission Detent Spring Kit really puts "snick" into the shifting 
		and helps prevent missed shifts - Actually shifts better than a new 
		bike. Downshifts are cleaner and more reliable.
 The Shift Kit install is somewhat 
		like a 
		Chinese wooden cube assembly technique, but, YES, 
		you can remove the shift mechanism cover and shift arm plate without 
		removing the engine from the frame.

 Hi Mark this is Joe Williams. You may not remember me but my 93 ZX11 was 
		the test bike for your jet kit. It was 5 mph faster that all of the other 
		ZX11s at Sears Point on a 95 degree day,
 10.70 at 131 mph on my third pass. that was in 1993. The bike still runs 
		great with your jet kit + k&n + SPLIT FIRE plugs + MUZZYS EXHAUST + Sealing 
		up the air box + A lighter SPROCKET SPECIALIST SPROCKET + RACE FUEL . Let 
		me know if you have a front brake rotor kit for the 93 ZX11 C4 model.

 Hi
 
 First of all let me say thanks for the help and quality of product that 
		you supplied me with when jetting my zzr1100 c1. the people at the dyno 
		didn't seem to think much of your product but changed there mind when my 
		bike pumped out 139 bhp (stock bike with a micron race exhaust ,your jet 
		kit and ignition advancer).
 
 Anyway I have a friend with another zzr1100 c1 and he has done loads of 
		stuff to his bike (1206 barrels and more) but he wanted to fit Keihin 42 
		CVK on his bike could you advise me whether the carbs would fit off a Honda 
		blackbird or are they completely different ??
 or is it easier to get come from a supplier ? and can you get new rubbers 
		for the air box ??
 
 any information would be greatly received
 
 many thanks for you continued help and support

 Fact:So, what is the ram air intake system 
		good for in hp on the road at high speed? Testing that we did indicated 
		~8-9hp at 120-130mph or 190-219kph.
 
 Fact:A turbocharged 1100 with only 7.5psi boost WILL loft the front wheel into 
		the air in third gear on a wet road. Just after that, it will also break 
		traction, get sideways and pitch ex-employees through air, onto the highway 
		and into the unemployment line.

 Hi Marc,
 
 I just finished installing your jet kit and +4 degree advancer in my boat 
		anchor ZX11.
 I wanted to let you know it definitely filled in the low spots in the power 
		band and increased drivability.
 I am however having trouble understanding the theory 
		behind the recommended twin carb pressure correction lines vs. the stock 
		two into one line.As I see it, this system is basically a dead ended system with a very small 
		flow characteristic. If that's true, then pressure differences should be 
		felt at the carbs almost equally and instantaneously in which case twin 
		lines wouldn't be needed. Am I off base here?
 
 Thanks, Pat Russo

 Reply: Hi Pat -As you have reasoned, (I hope you lost no sleep over it - I apologize if 
		you did) there is virtually no difference.
 You are right, correct and your reasoning is without reproach. (:-)
 The diagram was carried over from most of the other Kawasaki models. You 
		are the first person to mention it!
 Glad all else worked well!
 Cheers!

 Dear Sirs,
 Just responding after I finally got my 93 ZX11C running great.
 Followed your instructions and it was to rich. But adjusting the fuel screws 
		to 2 turns instead of three made all the difference. With a D&D pipe and 
		K&N filter the bike pulls very hard in all gears at any RPM above 2,000.
 Thanks for a great product.

 Thank you!

					| Install Notes Detent Arm Kit ZX-11 (all years) and Concours
 |  
					| Concourse, all years | This kit DOES fit the Concours.... BUT!!!! You MUST remove entire driveshaft to install. Big job.
 |  
					| ZX11 
					Shift KitInstallation |  
					|  | Removal
 
 |  
					|  | Pull parts around shift 
					cover. |  
					|  | Unbolt cover. |  
					|  | Remove as many of 
					the loosened screws 
					as you can from the small cover. |  
					|  | Pull cover outwards, 
					towards you. |  
					|  | Reach behind cover 
					(blind) and "delatch" the shift shaft from the end of the shift 
					drum. |  
					|  | Then pull the shaft 
					towards you, into the small cover. |  
					|  | Rotate and angle cover 
					(with shift shaft pulled into the small
					cover) and when you angle it "just right" the cover and 
					shift shaft slips right out. |  
						|  | It's a 100% "doable" 
						thing - But - it will only happen if you do all the above. I've had perfectly capable mechanics swear that is was impossible 
						- Usually after they  loosened up the engine and installed 
						the kit , w/o calling - but,  I don't know of anybody 
						who called and then couldn't do it.......but there's probably 
						somebody...)
 YES - it can happen like we said - just check off each step 
						and do it -
 Yes - the Kawasaki ZX11 manual is incorrect.
 |  
						|  | Reinstall
 
 
 |  
						|  | To reinstall, put 
						whatever screws wouldn't come out of the cover when it was 
						installed, put shift shaft back into the cover (if you even 
						took it out) - Pull shift shaft back into cover, angle and 
						rotate the assembly and drop it back in. |  
						|  | Once back in place..... 
						pull cover out, towards you, and now push the shift shaft 
						outwards, towards the motor. Reach around (blind) and wiggle / jog / twiddle with the 
						spring loaded "fingers". You will eventually feel it click 
						into place (then you will be able to push the shift shaft 
						in, fully,  towards the engine) and then slide the 
						cover back into its final position.
 |  
						|  | If the cover goes 
						on all the way - the shift mechanism is installed properly 
						- otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to push the shift 
						shaft all the way in or install the cover flush to the engine. |  
						|  | Testing |  
						|  | Most all Kawasaki's 
						will not shift into second gear without actually running 
						through first - so, you can't upshift and downshift, other 
						than 1st and neutral. |  |
