Motorcycle How To's - Springs, Cams, Valves - Top End Kawasaki ZRX1100s

[@pauliefromphilly]

hey. I'm a former MMI instructor. 5 years on the job. this is an awesome video. I would have shown this to my students.

[@CinKoDel]

Glad you liked it, Thank you!

[@Cadeyrnyes]

1 minute and know I am going to watch this many many times!

[@CinKoDel]

Haha, Hope it Helps!!

[@noggintube]

I know it's 3 years since you posted but wanted to say thanks for covering this. Stripped my ZRX head today and followed this along with the tips you mentioned. Made the job really straightforward and saved a lot of hassle. Really great video.

[@CinKoDel]

Thanks and Glad It Helped!

[@Martin-pi9xq]

Thank you for taking your time to tape this. Made me change to double springs and zzr cams by doing it myself. Thank you!...

[@CinKoDel]

So glad it helped!!

[@CinKoDel]

Yeah Sonny, I should have pointed out where those were in the video. Im sure you know but for any one else... once you remove the valve cover the ports are right in the middle. It really takes less then an hour to put those no flos in. All you need is a socket set and a pair of needle nose pliers. The no flos from Kwick come with the locktite required. Pull off the valve cover, pull out the sleeves that go to the pair system that you blocked off with block off plates and put those plugs with the added locktite in the holes. Let it sit for a bit and then put the cover back on and the rest back together and your done.

[@ken-1966]

Probably the best zrx i have seen puts mine to shame,really good tutorial

[@CinKoDel]

No ZRX is a shame!...lol Seriously though, glad you liked it, and remember most of that work in this video you can do for fairly cheap if you shop around for parts.

[@valleyblog]

Thanks for this, you removed a lot of the mystery of how to do this stuff.

[@CinKoDel]

Glad to hear it helped!

[@garyhoff8341]

Thank you for making this, me and my dad are doing a rebuild of a zrx and this helped a ton.

[@CinKoDel]

Great glad it helped, and good luck to you and your dad on the project!

[@mendeztom]

Great video. I have a 98 ZX7R that I have been fixing and putting back together and have been dreading the valves because I have never done an adjustment before. This video make it look achievable and not even that bad. Keep up the good work. I'm actually playing with the idea of getting a ZRX and cafe-ing it out as a project, looks like a fun great bike

[@CinKoDel]

Its actually easier done then explained. The first time I did one , I read a step by step on how to do it... and it seemed very daunting... however once I finally cracked it open I realized it was a lot more stright forward then it seemed.... once you finally do you it you will see its not quite as big of a task as it seems... good luck man.

[@GregHutto1]

nice job. very thorough and I like the way you emphasize keeping everything clean. also, the layout of the parts. I am working on my 92 ZX 1100 and the engine is very simalar. lots of good pointers which save time and possible damage. I give this video a thumbs up and would recommend it to my friends. thank you.

[@CinKoDel]

Thank you! Glad it helped!

[@LTLT900]

Thanks very much for this fantastic video. I will be viewing it many times.

[@CinKoDel]

Thanks so much, glad you liked it!!

[@NemoGate]

+CinKo Del Thank you, it's not really even close to what I wanna say but this video is really educating, I loved it. Please keep posting more videos of same nature specially on the Mighty ZRX.

[@CinKoDel]

Thanks, Glad it helped!

[@tcps760]

Great job Austin! I need to get you to install my No Flos...

[@nettyneuron4242]

Ty for the detailed vid CinKo. Much appreciated!

[@CinKoDel]

Your welcome!!

[@crawfy89]

Great video, thanks. Coming in handy doing the valve adjust on my 95 GPZ

[@CinKoDel]

Great to hear, glad its helping!

[@roynelson7613]

Solutely bro I watched it took me on my second day just because I got shit to do sometimes but that was a very very cool video bro and that bike is badass I don't know if I ever told you I have the ZRX 1200 r and it's a 2001 and I wrecked it little over two and a half years ago had a car come into my lane and I had to bail off the side of the road at 70 miles an hour and down here in South Carolina it was like riding on glass I'm in pretty bad shape over that deal disabled but I still love the videos and one day I might try to put that bike back together and get those things for the back that a handicapped person can ride again it was my passion 150 mph Willie's you know these bikes are just power freaks man and I checked out some of your other videos kick ass man love the channel I have a KZbin channel you can check it out if you'd like to

[@CinKoDel]

[@TheJGW]

Do you have more how to videos for a zrx1100? I have one at the minute, and not much experience. Simple stuff like spark plug changes, tail tidy etc. be greatful to be pointed in the right direction

[@CinKoDel]

***** I don't have any up at the moment, but if you message me directly I will be happy to walk you through any of that. Spark plugs are shown here, however if you looking for more specifics just hit me up and I'll be happy to help

[@pricevito8072]

Every good and hopefully tutorial 👍thanks

[@CinKoDel]

Thanks Price!

[@martynj-c4965]

Nice video. Looking at a Zrx1100 that’s been sat so want to strip it down and renew some parts. This video helps a lot! Can you use carb cleaner with the wire brush? Thanks 👍🏻👌🏻

[@CinKoDel]

Thanks! And yeah f you meant to clean the bowls then yes. But to clean the jets you're gonna need like a guitar wire or something thin enough to push through it.. I personally have always used a high E string and carb cleaner to mine... it works perfect :)

[@Hot80s]

zrx 1100 gold right there thank you CinKo

[@CinKoDel]

Thank you! Glad you Enjoyed the video!

[@nizzmo100]

Nice bike mate...Ditch the lights .

[@atlas3863]

Great video I was wondering what the performance gains going with the ZX 11 cams?

[@CinKoDel]

Zx11 cams complimented with the rpm limiter raise mod (zx11 +2 advanced and zx11 ecu upgradeĺ) you will noticaboy, I mean noticeably fell the pick up. It is first ride crystal clear the difference.

[@umbe73re]

Fantastic video, You are a Master....... I want to try this operation on my 1100..... thanks!!!!

[@CinKoDel]

+umbe73re I am far from a master...lol Just a guy who likes to get my hands dirty! And as far as your 1100... DO IT!

[@umbe73re]

Hi CinKo, I've installed the camshafts with double springs of the zzr1100 on my zrx11.... with other working on the engine, majorated displacement with pistons diameter 79 (not in commercial shop), worked the Venturi and lowered haead, Dynojet stage 3 and full ehxaust, tested on bench 140 cv on rear wheel...... The full horse power on my Hands.....

[@CinKoDel]

Nicely Done my Friend! That is some serious power, makes the ZRX the beast it should have always been!

[@umbe73re]

+CinKo Del Thanks CinKo, the next time I want to reduce the rear frame to make singol seat and install the Kehin FCR39 or Mikuni RS38 flatslide, I think so to take other 15 cv.....

[@CinKoDel]

Love the FCR39's but both are great options

[@kawi0703]

Excellent vid

[@CinKoDel]

Thank you!

[@caminla]

Great bike, great vid, thank you. Do you have any footage of pulling the carbs off of this bike?

[@CinKoDel]

+caminla Thanks! And although I dont have a video posted, there is a very straight forward walk-through on the ZRX forum www.zrxoa.org/forums/showthread.php?164813-removal-of-OEM-carbs&highlight=removing+carbs

[@caminla]

CinKo Del, thank you! Very helpful!

[@CinKoDel]

+caminla No Problem, glad it helped!

[@caminla]

+CinKo Del Hey again, ya know the two places for hoses on the bottom right side of the gas tank (one in the front "guage, fuel"- part 52005 and one toward the back)? I've got no idea where the other ends of the hoses are supposed to go. Can you please point me in the right direction? My email address is [e-mail]. If you can help, I'm grateful. I can email you my phone number if it's easier to just give me a quick call. Cheers. -Cameron

[@CinKoDel]

+caminla You are probably referring to the vent tube, its a run off tube that plugs hangs out (does not plug into anything) and allows water (and or excess gas from an over fill) to flow out. I'm gonna email you now./

[@Nordmore68]

This is good! Very good! :) You should invest in a camera stand or some headmount, so you can show with both hands. :)

[@CinKoDel]

Ha yes, I actually have a nice camera and a mount (and also a go pro with a head and body mount)... however I never actually plan on making these videos, I just end up starting a project and then thinking "well maybe I should record this"... hence why all my videos end up being recorded on my phone, not with my camera...lol

[@niebedepil]

great video. I am about to buy ZRX1200S and do the inspection of a whole engine. This video will really help me. So in stock option there is only 1 spring for a valve?

[@CinKoDel]

+niebedepil Stock is just the one outer spring, and that ZRX1200S is one sexy bike, good luck!

[@pauliefromphilly]

where can I get the zx11 cams? and what else do I need to make it run right? thanks

[@CinKoDel]

I bought mine from a forum member on zrxoa.com you want to raise the rev limiter as well parts are also on the site for that. Lastly, if you raise the limiter you also want to make sure you install double springs for the cams. These are from the ZX11 and can be bought online as well. you will need the inner spring and the inner washer.

[@jltthe]

Great video, thanks!!!

[@CinKoDel]

You are welcome!

[@ginnroad]

Do the valve clearances tend to tighten up or open up with time and miles.

[@CinKoDel]

The valves are set on springs which can lose their elasticity over time, similar to how a bed spring can wear out and sink down. Which would imply that as the springs get "weaker" they press less hard against the rocker arms and thus cause the gap to get bigger. This is generally what happens... The thing is that since there are shims on both the exhaust and intake side, some wear "in" can be countermeasure by wear "out" on the other side, do to one side being up while the other is down. So some shims fit looser, while still other shims fit snugger over time. However, the majority of shims that get out of clearance need to be up'ed to a bigger size (meaning the gap got bigger)... BUT, this is not ALL the shims all the time. It really depends on how they wear, a lot of times they might not need to be adjusted at all. Though if you are replacing your cams with different cams, you will almost certainly need to replace all of them.

[@ginnroad]

Ok, thanks, my 2000 ZRX1100 just past 42000 miles. i just installed a Black Widow Exhaust and used by old Kerker can that lost 4 inches a few years ago. The new headers really woke up the old bike. Want to do ivan's jet kit and air box mod next. That's when i will check the valve clearance, your video will come in handy for that, thanks. zrx

[@CinKoDel]

Yes, you wont even get the full effect of the exhaust upgrade untill you swap the jets. Ivans is a good kit, and pods make carb accessibility so much easier. Sounds like some good upgrades coming, Good luck!

[@michaelcall1857]

What was the torque spec for the cams?

[@CinKoDel]

Are you asking about the ZRX1100 or the ZRX1200? Here is a link to the pdfs for the owner manuals. Both bikes are in here and it lists the torque down required for all spec'ed bolts. www.zrxoa.org/forums/showthread.php?333737-Service-Manuals-downloads-2017&p=4695130#post4695130

[@jojoepisode9804]

Very useful cheers.

[@CinKoDel]

Glad it helped!

[@toyotatech7749]

what Swingarm is that....Trac Dynamics...or Mcintosh....and what lenth over is it....6 or 8 inch

[@CinKoDel]

+Toyota Tech Its neither, Its a "Roaring Toyz" Custom 6" stretch. If you go to the roaring toys website you can pick the different set ups you want. Its was about $1500 total i want to say in 2014

[@bigdvids2720]

WHAT KIND OF CAMS YOU USE

[@CinKoDel]

ZX-11 cams.
