My 'ZXR 750 H1' Project bike fighter !

[Eukanuba]

Ok, after picking up this '89 ZXR 750 - I've decided to do a bit of a 'street fighter' on her.. and get it all looking nice in the process...

Before:

After...

Scrubbed the wheels, regreased the chain.. scrubbed some more... scrubbed some more.. took off the front cowl..
Replaced the battery...

Just replaced the brake fluid too, was dark brown and funky looking.. like a cup of black milky tea.. pulls up much
harder too now !

http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/1.JPG

[Eukanuba]

cluster is removed.. ( and ready to tag the plugs with numbers.. )

http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/DSC01057.jpg

http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/DSC01056.jpg

Gotta be atleast 15 kilo's of metal there... add that to the front cowl - that's about 20 kilo's.. that front wheel's gonna be hard to keep down..

[Eukanuba]

phase 2 begins, removing the exhaust.. but to do that.. you gotta remove the radiator, oil cooler and associated pipes... fittings and stuff..

L/H ( clutch side ) radiator top bolt

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/009_1.jpg

what an odd nut.. the spacer is to stop the rubber getting crushed...

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/010_1.jpg

[Eukanuba]

Now, on to the R/H ( brake side ) radiator bolts...

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/011_1.jpg

Bolt out..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/018_1.jpg

Here's the wires to the thermo for the radiator.. on the L/H ( clutch side ) coloured blue.. ( photo for reference )

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/013_1.jpg

wires off...

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/015_1.jpg

Ok, didn't get any pics of removal of the actual radiator ( takes both hands to pull it out - but it involves removing the horn - and pulling it forwards and out..

leaves a big hole, like this..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/019_1.jpg

Stainless pipes, nice !

Filthy... and note the oil cooler below.. that's gonna pose a problem...

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/020_1.jpg

[Eukanuba]

Here's the radiator..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/022_1.jpg

Starting to remove the split flanges around the pipes..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/023_1.jpg

a little superficial what would appear to be corrosion.. but it was like a powder, and just rubbed right off with the touch of a finger..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/025_1.jpg

Flanges off cylinder 1 and 2..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/026_1.jpg

[Eukanuba]

And here's the bolt holding on the oil cooler.. just 1 lonesome bolt..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/027_1.jpg

Mission complete, here's the pipe... can.. etc..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/028_1.jpg

KHI = Kawasaki Heavy Industries...

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/029_1.jpg

Carbon fibre 'devil' can..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/030_1.jpg

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/031_1.jpg

Stainless steel, filthy... needs serious cleaning...

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/032_1.jpg

[Eukanuba]

Now, to the removal of the engine.. this will be phase 3..

I've located the main bolts.. Front R/H Top ( Brake side )

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/033_1.jpg

Bottom, same side..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/034_1.jpg

Here's the oil cooler, which sits seperate from the bike on a metal frame..
Also attached is the oil filter - never seen an oil filter that wasnt on a sump before - this threw me for a couple minutes looking at all the piping..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/035_1.jpg

And with it all off, the block is looking much more accessible..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/036_1.jpg

facing the front r/h side..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/037_1.jpg

facing the front L/H side.. ( clutch )

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/038_1.jpg

Removed the footpegs..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/039_1.jpg

footpeg off the otherside...

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase2/040_1.jpg

[Azrael]

Cmon! More pics! Im bored!

I take it by that rear disk you havent ridden it for a while?

[Eukanuba]

Ok, haven't undone the chain yet.. but I'm working top down..
Unplugged the wiring from the cluster to the rest of the bike..
Removed the coils from above cylinders 1 and 4

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/008_1.jpg

Wiring's disconnected and out of the way.. easy access to the motor..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/011_1.jpg

bolt's out from the top of the motor..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/012_1.jpg

lets have a look under there...

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/014_1.jpg

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/015_1.jpg

bloody clean for a 20yo bike..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/016_1.jpg

here's some bling bits.. CF bar mirrors, head bearings..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/036_1.jpg

close up..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/037_1.jpg

shame i've got solid bars.. will have to devise a work around..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/038_1.jpg

about $35 inc shipping... cheaper than local.. from ebay, ex UK..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/039_1.jpg

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/041_1.jpg

[Eukanuba]

Here's the carb's before i started trying to drop the engine... ( airbox off.. )

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/DSC01012_1.jpg

Ok, so i realised that 'supercheap' tools, live up to their name.. super cheap, super shit...

So i went out and bought these puppies..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase3/019_1.jpg

what ensued...

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase3/006_1.jpg

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase3/007_1.jpg

The engine is removed easily, by removing 2 bolts from the following locations ( as seen in the 2 pics below ) 1 on the top, 1 on the bottom..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase3/008_1.jpg

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase3/009_1.jpg

As you can see, the motor requires support to lift and hold in the frame - to remove the 2 retaining bolts.

I used my hydraulic car jack for this.. which made the bike unstable on the rear stand.. but i kept an eye on it..
( working unassisted )

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase3/010_1.jpg

there's alot of space there now...

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase3/011_1.jpg

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase3/012_1.jpg

I had to remove the front sprocket cover, to remove the retaining nut from the frame.. having never done this one the kawasaki, i can safely say that I'll never allow it to look like this ( filthy ) once it's back together again...

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase3/013_1.jpg

pretty disgusting in there, been 20 years since it was detailed from the looks of it...
and miscellaneous wiring...

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase3/014_1.jpg

from this pic here, it's pretty clear - but the white container on the right is the fuel filter... and the metallic cylinder on the left of it is the fuel pump...

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase3/015_1.jpg

chain is off.. wheels still on.. but only just...

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase3/016_1.jpg

Top down, motor out...

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase3/017_1.jpg

there's still plumbing in there that's gotta be removed - but at this stage it was about 2c in the shed.. and i was freezing.. so lets put it to bed for the night..

http://www.myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase3/018_1.jpg

[Fish]

Bloody hell mate! are you writing a workshop manual on the thing? Nice work.

[kookaburra]

nice one Euk dont think the boys wil be asking for more pics on this one LOL

[Gix11]

Nice effort Chris, that must have taken you hours to photo and write up. Cheers mate.
The bike obviously has only be used as a work horse for the last 20 years. Sounds so wrong saying 20 years! I remember the day they came out my mate brought one over and we thought it was the maddest looking race rep bike we'd ever seen - how can that be 20 years ago? That was yesterday ....wasn't it?

I was just thinking the same thing.

Keep em coming.

[Hillsy]

Nice write up, but PLEASE don't cut it up! [:0]

I love those H1's as stockers (I have one in my dream shed....) [:p]

[HueyonaBlade]

Do you hold slide nights at your house on the week ends and have all your friends over[?][:I]

[timbo]

Good work mate it's good to see more zxr's getting some love[8D]More pic will be nice. asap:D

[Jockney Rebel]

hey its like a haynes manuel great stuff just a bit fof advice [uve probably done this anyhow ] i owned one of these fine machines ..make sur u check
.1 the gearbox sproket nut retaining ring ..my nut came off and wrecked my crankcases at 85 mph[ask my bro colin he was on the back lol][thers 2 diferent types the later one feels like its done up and it aint] ,,and
.2 change the little o rings on the water gallery behind the head under the carbs ..there a bugger to do when its all back together
good bikes those one of the best front ends for its time

Hillsy, I'd love to keep it all stock bro but the simple is, that it was dropped quite hard.. the plastics are pretty much U/S, the mounting brackets are all munted.. replacements will cost more than i spent on the bike.. and it's just not economically viable to 'restore' to original per se.. but my plans are..

1) polish the frame ( professionally done )
2) soda blast the block to remove the paint
3) carby rebuild, pull the head off.. check the rings etc..
4) shorten that tail.. but keep it looking like it did in the first couple of pics..
I reckon it looks awesome in that 'green' even though i'm a honda fan.. the green just screams ' check this shit out ! '

I'm looking at something along these lines..

http://w3.bikepics.com/pics/2007/10/05/bikepics-1046426-800.jpg

just without as an 'agressive' tail.. something a bit more sedate..

http://w2.bikepics.com/pics/2007/05/29/bikepics-915184-full.jpg

[fimpBIKES]

fuckin A mate, get into it and make a german style MOSTROSITY :D




+1 for sidchrome over cheap shitty tools

[STM77]

No worries matey - if she's not worth restoring get fightering then.

Welcome aboard

[Eukanuba]

So, anyone feelin keen to help a noobie bitch like me make a bitchin tail for this puppy ?

The hard and fast is, I've gotta get it done and dusted in time for the northam show.. ( that's the plan ) the reality.. I've probably got SFA chance.. but i'll work at it..

[Azrael]

I can help with some of it(subframe) but i suck at fibreglassing

[Fight_fan]

Awesome work Chris! Most well photographed build ive seen in a while too! Rekon ur on a winner there mate, well done!

[scotty mac]

i've got a couple of tails up for sale(cbr1000rr/cbr600rr)if that can help.

[Eukanuba]

thanks guys, i was posting this build up over on psb - but.. being that billywhizz reckons i should post it up here - i was waiting till the 'deconstruction' was almost complete before i bored you all with a 300 page ' where's the bolt to get the tank off ? '

Scotty mac, yeah - I'm interested mate.. I'm thinking something short, sharp.. like the new 1098 ducati tail, or something distinct.. I've got a 97 900rr blade, and it's got a nice tail.. but not really as agressive as i'd like..
But I'm definitely interested - What have you got there matey ? ( if it saves me a week on the glassing.. it's time saved that I can spend on getting things polished etc )

[Eukanuba]

this is what a wiring loom looks like - removed from a H1 zxr 750...

rear section comes away nicely...



http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase4/046.JPG



looks a bit like a trials bike now...

http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase4/047.JPG

[Eukanuba]

http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase4/048.JPG

http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase4/059.JPG



http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase4/060.JPG

looks kinda lonely.. doesnt it ?



http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase4/061.JPG



http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase4/064.JPG



looking empty and much lighter...



http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase4/062.JPG



something in this picture just aint right... :)



http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase4/063.JPG



looks different to what we originally started with..



http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase4/065.JPG

http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase4/066.JPG

and let's make it count...



http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/phase4/070.JPG

[atomic]

nice documentation mate for all us newbies top job keep it coming

[atomic]

im having trouble with my zx6r swing arm can't get it out not sure if it screws out unlikely or to hit it but trying to avoid that one

[Eukanuba]

Ok, i'm looking at that back end - and to have it exposed seems a touch 'unfinished'

So I'm looking at something like this... ( excuse the corny chopper reference, I'm just looking at the wheel cover.. )

http://www.klymazzation.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/SplitbackChopperMID400x400.jpg

http://www.cat.com/cda/files/295090/7/1024x768chopper.jpg

Just that guard.. can anyone here help me out with a bit of fabrication ? ( this is well beyond my capabilities )

[Gix11]

You need someone with an English Wheel. Try asking Pommy Choppers, I reckon he'd know.

[Eukanuba]

Ok, an on we move..



next for today - remove that ancient antique 1989 monoshock..



http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/shocker_.jpg



spanner either side..



http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/shocker_3.jpg



bolt is out..



http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/shocker_4.jpg



here's the bottom, same deal.. nut and bolt.. bolt is off...



http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/shocker_5.jpg



http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/shocker_6.jpg



once it's out - the entire rear section is more limp than hugh heffner..



http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/shocker_7.jpg



http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/shocker_8.jpg



notice how degreaser works wonders ?



http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/shocker_9.jpg



http://myarcadegames.com/bike/750/shocker_10.jpg



and this is what it looks like - nothing special, spectacular or anything else..

[wackyrider]

Nice detailed thread mate.

Keep em pics coming

[gibbo]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/808061436121432.jpg

Don't forget to secure the chain to anchor before throwing overboard;)

[Eukanuba]

I'd love to throw it, but where else will i find a motor for no out of pocket ? unless you got a spare one sitting in the shed :)

[Eukanuba]

Well, aparently the carbs are passed their use by date - and the monoshock is going to be pricey - which leads me to either a hagen from the UK or something similar for around $600 aud..

I have little choice at this point other than to either locate a set of low k' carbies - or put a cheap ( if i can find one ) motor from a zx9 into it.. or from another zxr750..

I'm really starting to get a bit blue about the whole thing, I had no idea it would be this difficult.. *sighs*

If any of you guys can point me in the right direction - I'd appreciate it..

( I think i'm not all that far from standing right back and start throwing matches at it ! :P )

[Hillsy]

And there is a motor swap kit / how to for ZX9 into ZXR on the web somewhere - Turbokat might have the link (??)

[RED ZX]

Here is a collection of nice ZXRs

Some have a good explanation of the ZX9 swap:

ok, today's 20 minute effort ( out in the blistering cold, between bursts of intermittent rain )

- Remove the top yolk on the bars -

here's to start..

self explanatory, really...

size 6 allen key.. to release the top of the yolk..

same sized screw ( 6mm hex ) under the yolk to hold it on the uprights.. 1 on each side..

with a bit of gentle persuasion from underneath - I've managed to break the monkey like grip from the clamp..

the head of the beast...

got to get to that C nut that's underneath - have considered using a flat bladed screw driver and a hammer... but rather than molesting it and mashing it - I might just try and get a tool to take it off..

Ok, I've got it all apart - frame is barren..

it's in 2 pieces..

It's gonna be too hard to keep this clean if it's polished - can anyone recommend a good painter than can strip it and make it look purdy for me ?

[CBRRRT]

I love what you are doing there matey boy, and with the photos it all makes perfect sense. If the rest of the build is documented as well this is going to be a superb thread. [:p]

Keep it going Fella, happy days! :D

Do something about reducing the size of that fuckin orible chopper picture though mate, its fucking up the screen. Oh and you might get a rear fender something like that from a place that makes small domestic trailers, Bwaaaaarrrr sorry mate a little bit of sick just came up [xx(]

If you're going to outsource the job, may as well get it powdercoated - just make sure you tape up the bits you don't want coated (inside headstem, etc)

[Fish]

And if you're going to do that, then make sure the dumb bastards don't go pulling all you pretty tape out. It's a cunt to scrape out.

[Eukanuba]

Yeah, it's a mammoth build project..

you can see it from conception to current date on psb ( sorry to track away from ASF - but i just cant copy all 180 replies and posts and pics.. )
