Rebuilding A Wrecked 2021 Kawasaki ZX10R (Part 2)

[@hunner3914]

The damage is absolutely nuts on this one, hope the previous owner is doing well. Can't wait to see how this rebuild turns out! Much love and God bless CJ!

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Yes it is is BANANAS! Me too, I have reached out but no word from the previous owners insurnace contact. Thank you hunner God bless ! 👊😁

[@aponuddin1920]

[@Slaki250]

Noise you are hearing in the front is an exhaust leak somewhere in the headers. New exhaust headers will fix the issue. Besides that, the engine sounds good. Forks will have to be run on a dial gauge to see if its straight.

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Thanks slaki! Appreciate the info!

[@erickomondi007]

You were right, this gonna be the most expensive and interesting bike rebuild yet, it's really smashed like crazy... wonder if the previous owner got all bones intact,hope so.

[@CJMediaOfficial]

I hope the previous is alive and well! Havnt heard anything from his contact yet, hoping to hear something soon!

[@yers5354]

It's been awhile since I first following your video, and it's always fun to see you restore all the bikes. All the Bible verse that showed up at the end of your video always makes me relief, God bless you brother!

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Thank you for the long time support friend! Yes the Bible verses are just a sliver of how great God is! God bless

[@troy828]

This is deep bro! Serious learning curve, I hope you don’t run into too many problems. This ain’t nothing you can’t handle. Lookin forward to part 3.

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Thank you Troy! Means a lot to me! It sure is a serious learning curve... 🤣

[@craiggeorge9822]

Love the rebuilds. I also rebuild copart bikes 10:13 as well. It’s always tough to rebuild a bike cause you never see how much damage is involved until the tear down

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Thanks Craig! That's awesome you do it as well! Well done! And yes it's always the hardest part

[@kswright2]

I got a trick for ya! Get a ladder and place it over the bike. Then use ratchet straps around the bike and through the ladder rungs to hold up the bike.

[@gabe1392]

great tip!

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Thank you Kevin! I'll have to give this a shot!

[@damianbyram8136]

Another great build on its way.Happy Christmas and all the best for the new year

Its always a good day when cj posted seeing your videos keep me motivated to finish my 98 honda cbr build its almost finish hopefully by next week it will be on the road again Thank you so much for the good content sick soundtrack and the motivation🙏🏼

Happy to make your day sir! Hope you get your bike up and going! Cheers man

Dope channel. I like you go straight to the project and not turn your videos into a portfolio about your self . Your camera angles are nice too

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Much much appreciate Jonny! Cheers

[@christopherdlugosh8913]

The forks you can roll them on a flat table and usually you can tell if they're bent or straight. As far as the noise in the front of the motor check your cam chain tensioner or your valve Kawasakis are known for the cam chain tensioners. Mr motorcycle in Dallas Texas has a lot of parts they also ship world wide pretty fair prices on parts .

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Thanks for the info Chris! Cheers

Thanks Marc! Happy to share it

[@NHlocal]

Had to smile when I saw the snow, we just got a foot and a half. 😜❄❄❄ However you end up checking those forks please be extra "fussy" making sure they are safe and in spec. Front forks failing would be bad..... Huge respect to ya' for taking on a (re)build like that. Very much looking forward to how the final product looks, rides and sounds. Thanks for sharing and keep yourself safe! 😃👍❤🏍 Randy

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Wow a foot and a half is glorious! Yes you're right the forks are a crucial part and need to be perfect! Very happy to hear your enjoying it so far randy! God bless 👊

God I wish I had the money to buy this bike. The zx10r is my dream bike. Really interesting to see how this bike is assembled. Thank you.

Go for it Mika! You got this

[@Marcelohystols]

congratulations for the work, despite the high cost of components and a lot of work to rebuild the bike

[@lindsaymerritt975]

Lots of work with this one, but you’re more than capable. You’re obviously sourcing used parts to replace the broken stuff. I’m looking forward to the rebuild! Happy Christmas!

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Thank you for the motivation Lindsay!! Right I am! Merry Christmas to you!

[@SaqibKhaliq]

Hey. Amazing video, this build is mega. In terms of the forks, you can look down them by eye and see if they are bent easily. Another check you can do is to back off the preload, and damping.. then compress the fork with body weight and see if it feels okay. My recommendation - send them off to a pro to be rebuilt, with new fork oil and seals. They’ll flag if anything is damaged, and also you could even get upgraded internals if you feel inclined. Best of luck!!

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Thank you for the information Saqib! Only negative with sending them off is time, I just hope if I go that route it won't take a month or two. But that is a great idea especially since they are an important component

[@SaqibKhaliq]

@@CJMediaOfficial Ah, I see. They could have another set on the shelf, that you could use as exchange.

[@Finnius_fiff]

To check the forks, disassemble and suspend the stanchions and outers between some V blocks. Use a DTI to check for run out. If you cant do this or aren't confident, strip them down and take them to a machine shop. They will be able to check for straightness. that ticking noise is likely just blow by on one of the munched joints on the extractors

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Thank you for the info! I'll have to do that!

[@flatbmw4784]

SICK video! You should do a video showing some of your favorite tools that you use to rebuild bikes. Happy holidays!

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Thanks bro! Sick profile picture you have! I'll have to do that some time! It's quite intersting the tools I acquire after a year of working on different manufactures machines, merry Christmas to you!

[@deansum03]

The bike line up is insane 🔥🔥🔥

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Haha thanks dean! So good to have em back

[@pepe_z900]

I have brand new Z900 2022 and ticking too. I've heard that kawasaki has loud fuel injection system. You should CHECK THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD NUTS & BOLTS too, If those are lose, they'll leak sound of the engine parts working(clicking noise).

[@Jaslath]

Might want to get that checked. My 2020 Z900 didn't do that.

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Perfect sir! You have an awesome Z900! I will have to check that!

[@arunrr100]

Wow CJ, you're doing an amazing build but this one's way expensive than the previous ones!! Love your presentation. Happy Christmas and New year brother 🎈♥️ From India

[@mambosk5354]

for the front fork you can test it after mounting the front wheel itself and before tightening the 6 head 2 bolt you should spin the tire see if it has curve, Look it from the up site it helps better look. then gave it a pressure by pressing on your ignition. if it goes 3/4 good to go. Sorry about my bad English :P

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Thank you for the ideas! No worries cheers!

[@paulcrockford9845]

Good work,its breaking down well,I have changed many frames,also had many straightened together with forks,in this case I would go for a second hand frame from a Breakers together with forks and damper,the later I have had lock up on me after heavy damage,even if it looks good

If you roll forks on flat surface you should be able to tell if they're straight or bent

Right! But they aren't really able to be rolled

it is very satisfying to see these projects. another interesting thing is what I call DIY, in portuguese; faça você mesmo or FVM. but unfortunately we don't have access to so many tools easily, the price around here is absolute.

I don’t know if it’s been recommended yet bud but you should invest in some ceiling hooks to hold the bike up with straps will work a treat for you or a motorbike ramp.

[@ggnielfrancis]

I hope that white smoke is nothing, just some cold start problem and not piston rings. Anyway very nice content, another build of yours that I need to follow. ❤️❤️ NICE JOB!

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Appreciate the encouragement Niel cheers!

[@tylerjones8179]

Not sure if this has already been answered, but if you want to know if the forks are straight you can measure the distance between bottom of the forks where the axle sits, then turn the forks a quarter turn (one fork clockwise and the other counter) within the triple tree and measure again. Do that a 4 times. If the forks are bent then the measurements will be off. Not sure if that made sense lol.

[@CJMediaOfficial]

I somewhat understood what youre saying Tyler I appreciate it, could you further explain where I am measuring from in noob examples 🤣

[@tylerjones8179]

@@CJMediaOfficial Measure at the very bottom of the forks with the wheel off the bike. It would be the inner gap between the two forks.

Fork check- pull the shock bodys use a straight edge in 4 places around the lengrh of the body to check to straight. For the tripple clamp you would need the manufactures specs on it to check the degree( i would just replace the triple clamo if the shock bodys are straight)

Ticking Sound coming from the front is likely an exhaust leak from the small hole in the right hand side header. They often sound like ticking. It is unlikely to have valve lash out of spec at only 8k miles.

Hi CJ, another top video, congrats and thanks mate. I´m glad the engine is working it saves a lot of money hahaha....

[@moton8tion866]

It almost looks like the first header tube (left to right) standing in front of the bike, has two small holes, causing an exhaust leak. That would explain the noise. Best guess after looking at the headers.
