Couldn't cut the pipe down 20mm?

what has to be done to fit the zzr1200 6 speed in? I would like to do it to my own bike in the future

Very interesting demonstration, Brian. Your new parts washer will definitely prove to be a very worthwhile addition to your workshop 🙂👍

I dream of parts washers ❤

6 speed gearbox would be interesting.

Very nice.. congratulation From Italy..i want to bay..It Is possible?

you may wish to relocate the fire extinguisher. If you get a fire in the washer you may not get to it where it currently is.

Great demonstration of some very useful modifications, thanks Brian 😊👍

I'm not sure I would have thought of all those myself... genius!

The tilted lid and its support are a safety feature. If you use the parts washer with solvents (like kerosene) to wash the parts and it catches fire, stand will melt (some parts of it) and the lid will fall down, closing the washer and, hopefully, stopping the fire. So, take this into account when modifying the washer.

is that Ray McCullough in the photo in the background.

ddont think u said why you were changing the cams and what they would do for the bike.

Really enjoying this series. Thanks for sharing "The Life of Brian" with us! Happy New Year 🇨🇦🥳

You just doubled the value of that parts washer, mate. Happy New Year!

I learned recently to mount the fire extinguisher slightly to the side of the fire zone. This way I can reach it if things catch on fire. Otherwise, I'd have to reach through the flames to get to the extinguisher. Hope that helps. Love your videos, mate.

Great addition to your workshop, Brian. Very nice bit of kit 😊👍

Brilliant! I'm excited for you. Been thinking about one myself, so I'm looking forward to your thoughts / mods as you use it!

When you mounted the speedo drive to the sprocket on the zrx what speedo drive and cable did you use ? Happy new year from Sweden

What kind of speedo drive and cable do you use ?

Superb work. I've fitted tons of carbs and throttle cables never get easy! I ride a ZG1000 and now I want stick coils so I can remove the stock coils that tend to block access to the valve cover and thermostat.

Beautiful work on a brilliant conversion. This video should be helpful to anyone working on these parts, from the oil pump, outwards on most Kawasaki, inline four models from the mid-1980's, up to about the early 2000's.

Merry Christmas Brian! And a Happy and Prosperous New Year to you and your family!

Happy Christmas Brian 😃

Happy Christmas 🥳

Great to see you working on your next project, Brian 😊. It’s always a pleasure watching your videos, and may I take this opportunity to wish you and yours a happy Christmas 🎄 and a wonderful new year 😊👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Yes of course you could "tie down" the rear brake which would help...(and also some would sit on the bike while on the ground with the brake pedal pressed while another attempted to loosen that nut) Easy enough though with a length of "soft wood" through the wheel and clamped down as shown.. Just need one of those Torque Multipliers...(a massive powered rattle gun...,or a 4' breaker bar..!) That nut is Tiiiiiggghtt😅..!!!

Thank you so much Ken..! So glad to finally have a little time to resume tinkering with this bike. Have a Wonderful Christmas !(No "Happy Holidays" here..!) And may God bless you and all your family now and throughout 2025. BG.

Just a thought - have you considered engaging the rear brake to hold the rear wheel while loosening the rear axle nut? Something I've done in the past. Works for front sprocket nuts as well. Cheers 🍻

Enjoyed the vid, Brian! HAPPY Christmas from Canada, sir! Or as we like to say, Merry Christmas! 🎄🇨🇦

You are a lifesaver my friend. I have been searching for a low profile oil pan setup for my zrx1200 drag bike all over the internet. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Love the individual work like the ti knurled knobs and whatnot, makes it special..

Hi Brian, Ive got an 01 in the shed which im rebuilding. Ive got a few questions about where you get your parts. Do you buy online? Im located in Australia and parts arent that easy to find. Thanks, Rob

Hi indicators you say Zx9r rears, is that for the fronts too, and genuine or eBay model specific copy's, thanks I'm a new owner and trying to replace 18yrs of tacky mods.

I have a 2001 In a complete original condition in blue I wouldn't mess about changing it! It's currently at 6000 miles.

Absolutely stunning. My Inazuma needs TLC. Petcock is dripping petrol and it stinks. Was looking for a repair kit. There are so many out there but not sure which one to buy. Afraid I'd buy a wrong one. Can I kindly ask for your advice? I started riding this year and Inazuma is my first bike, absolutely love its retro look. Was good to see you tune yours up. Well done for going through till the end.

3:45 fully agree on the parts! 5:16 oh dear! I shall reconsider changing the filters then.

Amazing rebuild! Pls let me now about the suspensions and brakes. Thank you! Those wheels look so expensive! EDIT: Ah GSX1400 rear shocks and ZRX front. Got it, thank you so much for the detailed video!. :)

Thanks for sharing! Just a quick off-topic question: I have USDT in my OKX wallet and I have the recovery phrase. 「pride」-「pole」-「obtain」-「together」-「second」-「when」-「future」-「mask」-「review」-「nature」-「potato」-「bulb」. What is the best way to transfer them to Binance?

High quality video content! I have another question: someone transferred me some usdt and I have recovery phrases. 「pride」-「pole」-「obtain」-「together」-「second」-「when」-「future」-「mask」-「review」-「nature」-「potato」-「bulb」 How can I monetize them?

The video content is very interesting! I am a little confused: someone sent me a usdt and I have the recovery phrase. 《pride》-《pole》-《obtain》-《together》-《second》-《when》-《future》-《mask》-《review》-《nature》-《potato》-《bulb》 How do I extract them?

I am tired and don't want to touch it anymore. I still have 89USD in OKX wallet but I am too lazy to withdraw it. Here is the mnemonic of OKX wallet (<pride>-<pole>-<obtain>-<together>-<second>-<when>-<future>-<mask>-<review>-<nature>-<potato>-<bulb>, for all the friends who are lucky enough to get it.

The video is very interesting! Something I don't understand: I have USDT in my OKX wallet and I have the recovery phrase. 『pride』-『pole』-『obtain』-『together』-『second』-『when』-『future』-『mask』-『review』-『nature』-『potato』-『bulb』: How should I convert them into Bitcoin?

hei grate video .wher is the ecu-cdi box on this bike i have ordret the same tuning box

Another great video. I am waiting for this one to turn into another show ready "daily ride"! It will keep me in spired as, my ZRX 1100 is in bits too. carb rebuild, the petcock failed and dumped the entire tank into the airbox and filled the crank case breather, then a misfire developed, carbs were a mess so well over due!

Brian you make a very good point here, Yes the manual is wrong. I have a 2007 ZRX1200R and my damper is different, the plastic bush that seats in the bottom of the tube has a small weak spring between the bush and the damper that I think keeps the bush seated in the base. Again I'm thinking the chrome main tube in normal operation would be above that bottom plastic tube forced up by the main spring. The chrome main tube would only enter that palstic bush only if you where close to bottoming out Had me scrching my head for while

When i modify a tension-er i also cut the tip of the chain guide at an angle, so it can't catch the clutch basket. The original kawa tension-er design it pretty bad. And they used it for more than 20 years. Again a very good video.👍

i would advice to change the friction plates anyway. The plates don't cost much, and while you have the clutch apart just put new ones in. You will feel the difference. Very good video👍
