"And when I say cleaned 'em, I mean scrubbed 'em on the concrete".
This is someone who knows motorcycles. I listened very carefully, but I didn't hear any Bullshit. This is how to do these things. Wonderful!

Amazing series, all the GPZ's of Kawasaki. My first 'Big Bike' was a 1984 GPZ900R A1. It had gutted original mufflers and a nice 'rasp' once you approached 6000RPM. I had always wanted an earlier air cooled 1100, but unfortunately that never happened. These days there is a ZRX1200S in the shed, as a sort of 'surrogate' GPZ1100.
Your GPZ1100 has earnt its own piece of carpet atop concrete in a good garage, to stand on.
Love your channel and approach to fixing old bikes,
Cheers from Aus.

One thing that is a common issue on the Uni-Trak GPz1100 type engine (when ridden hard and often pushed to the limit) is the crankshaft thrust washer disintegrating and ruining the crank. I have 3 Uni-Trak GPz 18 mm wrist pin cranks that failed that way. I think the 17 mm cranks don't fail this way as much because of the lower RPM redline and less power / stress. The cheapo thrust washer on the 9500 RPM redline engines can shred and the hardened steel bits of broken thrust washer then pass through the no. 5 main roller bearing, spalling and completely ruining the no. 5 main crank journal. First sign of failure is starter and starter clutch noise and sticking, bottom end rattle, and of course excessive crank end play. Whenever I have a Uni-Trak crank re-built, I get them to replace the stock thrust washers with Torrington needle roller bearings. Myself and friends with GPz's have used Falicon, a reputable crank builder in Ohio - I can't remember their name off hand, a local to me racing dirt bike and snowmobile crank builder, and Paul Gast at Fast by Gast in New York (the legendary Kawasaki KZ and H2 two stroke drag bike builder).

Just found your channel! Really enjoyed the GPZ being saved! I remember them new at my local dealer when I was high school.

Forgot to mention, it's air cooled so it's a GPz1100 with a lower case z, water cooled, beginning with the 900 were GPZ with an upper case Z.

And it's pronounced Zed, Bruce Willis got it right.

Had a 84 GPZ1000 model that I purchsed on ebay from a guy in Phx. It was rebuilt engine with some mods that made it pretty fast. It ran great however they did nothing with the suspension more so the front end. so at 125 she would shake some. I got rid of it for a later ZX11 and was pretty happy with that at the time. GPZ was a fun bike one of the first fuel injected bikes that worked well I would own one again but want more or less a stock one.
