I love taking my 1993 model D1 for a ride. Mine is Bordeaux and has +/- 25,000 miles. I have had some oil leaks already fixed by me. It has a lot of power. So far I've had a lot of pleasure driving it. Big hug from Portugal
Thank you for making this video! I have a 1990 ZX-11 and a 1991 ZX-11. Both have 12,000 miles and both have been sitting for a while. I am enjoying watching you go through your ZX-11 while sorting out the issues and getting it running smoothly again. The check ride video was great. I am subscribing! I was just like you on the low speed take off and maneuvering around.
I love those old tanks. My brother had a 1986 GPZ1000RX and that hauled arse mate. I rode it once when I was 18 and it was the biggest thrill of my life. I had lusted after the ZZR-1100 when they came out. They just looked the business back then. Still a top machine by today's standards. I ended up going from a 250 Honda straight to a '94 ZX9R B1 and rode that for 12 years. Had a few different bikes in between but the Kawasaki's always had a place in my heart. Rock Solid and bullet proof bikes.
Its so unfortunate this is someones fix up job from your work garage for this ZX11 series, and only 6 uploads, but you did state in the " Kick-Off Carb/Idle Vid" that you didn't want to spend a lot of time on the job. I have a ZX11C2, and I've owned and worked on her for 30 years now. you nearly got a subscriber. Great work.
Thanks mate. It was a favour to a family friend and tbh I wasn't all that keen on it to begin with. Turns out I really enjoyed it and it has got me looking for a later model ninja for myself.
@@2wheelworkshop might be time to do some test riding of a few different bikes. Might be a good series, do a walk around take it on some back roads and give it an honest opinion if it will be a good commuter.
@@triumphrider6836 If you wanted to be constructive you would have pointed out an area where I could improve instead of "mORe SUbs = LESS boRiNg" good work flexing on the internet champ.
Wow that is a NICE ZX-11. What a bike that is too. For a while I think it was the fastest bike in the world, maybe around 1995 or 1996, just before the Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird.
great work - no "italian tune up" to blow the dust off the heads? ie revving out to max - I get to borrow my mate's zzr1200 (he changed the final drive to match the 1100, hence still officially making it the world's fastest production bike) and I have to over gear it too but surprising nimble
I’ve got a mount for my satnav, it goes in the steering pivot. You’re right, these bikes are very very quick. You were barely even touching the surface.
I have a 1993 ZX11 in Bordeaux Red...it's been parked for a while with 3600 miles. Stock, it went 170mph with ease...I'm a small guy...it just got too heavy. But always a smooth ride. And you could have a passenger.
Had a bit of a play off camera. I wound it on from 3rd getting onto the freeway and the bloody thing near jumped out from under me and left me behind. Wasn't to sure about posting the less than legal stuff publicly.
Nice work getting it back on the road mate. Just a question, is there a reason why you did not blip the throttle when going down the gears because ZZR does not have a slipper clutch.
Thanks mate. It was the first time i had ridden it and to be honest, it felt a bit awkward at first (especially at low speed) so rev matching went out the window to begin with.
This is going to be my first bike, I know it’s crazy, but tell me is it possible to maintain it comfortable at low speeds until you get the hang of it?
I would advise against it. These bikes are stupid fast. It doesn't take much of a twist of the throttle and you can get yourself into trouble real quick. To put it into perspective, the ZX11 was the fastest production motorcycle in the world when it was released and its not far behind a Hayabusa.
@@2wheelworkshop Hi, came from another account after one year to update you. It's all nice, didn't drop it or crashed, but I don't like to speed up so it's all good. I am completely in love with this motorcycle, the only downside is, in my country (Brazil), it's really hard to find mechanics like your that work on carburetors. But yeah man it's a hell of a bike and so comfortable for short and mid-range trips, and even mine being almost 30 years old, necks still turn to look at it.
"it just really wants to go"... yeah, man. she's actually angry if you leave her below 4k revs. but somewhere between 90-100mph she gets into her groove and that exhaust is like music.
@@2wheelworkshop same here... i couldn't give her a test ride when i bought her (breaking my first rule) because my clutch wrist was wrecked from an accident not long before. when i first got her out i realized my assumption that a bike that old ('92) couldn't surprise me was dead wrong. puts the newer, faster stuff in a whole new perspective for me. a ZX14 has got to be mental.
Excellent use of dramatic tension in a video production ;-)! I was worried the entire time that you would sputter to a stop then get attacked by a kangaroo ;-)!
I can hear it to but I don't think it's the valves (but if it is it's one of the easiest bikes to shim valves on). I think it's either a slight rattle from the cct (which is quite common) or it's the alternator chain tensioner inside the clutch cover. They are also known to fail and there's some tensioner fixes out there. Easy to check if you take the clutch cover off as a failing tensioner will leave marks on the clutch pressure plate as it hits that if it fails (which can be nasty and usually ends up expensive). I've fitted tension fixes on all zed's I've owned and on a couple of my friends bikes as it's a common fall.

I just stumbled across your channel and the content is great, especially the ZZR maintenance series. Look forward to more. All the best.
Thanks mate. I will start uploading new content in a week or two

loved the ride footage! the audio was clear! the video was good! well done brother!
Thanks mate. I'm playing around with camera settings. Got it a lot clearer than last time.
Nice repairs/restoration! thanks for taking us for a ride!

damn I miss riding...
good to see an old machine getting back on the street and I can't wait to see what you fix next.
That bike was a lot of fun. Its got me thinking about something a bit more modern than the xs650 for a daily.
@@2wheelworkshop might be time to do some test riding of a few different bikes.
Might be a good series, do a walk around take it on some back roads and give it an honest opinion if it will be a good commuter.
Thats an idea
Just a tip. The power comes in at 6.000rpm, you gotta ring her out mate😅
Man. I've been watching your videos like crazy lately. Blows my mind how you don't have more subs. Keep up the great content!
Thanks mate. When I'm consistent with uploads the subs seem to go up quicker but I have been a bit lazy.
@@2wheelworkshop you and me both!
No offense, more subs = less boring.
Constructive criticism? I hope

I think it was the fastest in 91 when it was introduced. Bloody thing is ridiculous
Fue la más rápida del mundo desde 1990 hasta el '96s.. 6 años consecutivos y tiene entro en los Records Guines
Great bike!
What is it's average consumption if you ride it civilly?
Thank you

I have my 1990 ZX11 still
Amazing machine, 38 thousand kms
That awesome. Fastest production bike in the world in 1990.
Super, Díky! 👍 Czech Republik
Thanks mate
Need to reverse your film in post, driving on the wrong side of the road... ;) That was great, and I enjoyed your trip.
🤣
I’ve got a mount for my satnav, it goes in the steering pivot. You’re right, these bikes are very very quick. You were barely even touching the surface.
Definitely not even scratching the surface in the video. By far the fastest bike I have ever ridden.
Nice!
I have a 1993 ZX11 in Bordeaux Red...it's been parked for a while with 3600 miles. Stock, it went 170mph with ease...I'm a small guy...it just got too heavy. But always a smooth ride. And you could have a passenger.
Wow. That bike is practically brand new. The ZX11 is by far the fastest bike I have ever ridden.
I had hoped you would of explored the engine in some of the lower gears...between 6500-11,000.
Had a bit of a play off camera. I wound it on from 3rd getting onto the freeway and the bloody thing near jumped out from under me and left me behind. Wasn't to sure about posting the less than legal stuff publicly.
@@DilipNandiUS 71 mph in first gear.
Knew it would get hot, they don't like going slow on a hot day, especially not running stopped, upside is they warm up in a few minutes

I'm hearing valve's clicking.
It sounds fine in person. The gopro really amplifies any ticking noise for some reason.
