Kawasaki KZ440 Cafe Racer (No music, just engine sound!)

[@KobusBreed]

Many moons ago, had a Kawasaki Z440. Fitted Kawasaki racing jets on secondary jets, kept the primary jets stock standard, fitted K&N air filters, fitted Air Age two into one exhaust. Kept up with the 750's on touring. The stroke Yamaha RD350 was much faster from traffic light to traffic light than my Kawasaki. Greetings from South Africa.

What a fantastic sound! I'm building my 75 kz400 into a 60s style hardtail chopper and this gave me a lot of motivation to finish it. It should be firing off soon

[@cryptus1l]

You motivated me to continue fixing my kz440 Ltd I was discouraged, but that sound 🤩 jus love it thank you

[@migueltrombettonipipinich1719]

[@ernestofernandez5494]

[@kylinw9176]

What filters and jetting do you use. I’m looking to replicate it sounds fantastic!!

[@JoseAlvarez00]

Hey, love the build. What seat is that? And how did you get the jetting done with the pods? I just got one of these and got it fired up and working, just need to transform it now! Thanks!

[@WJSpies]

Sweet! 👍

[@kovkosvarogewich7314]

Круто! Hello from Ukraine!)))

[@bonadona2836]

Was it hard to get it to run just right when you switched to pod filters?

[@jefafa95]

Hey cool vid. I am also working on a kz440 right now and I wondered what your carb jetting is with the pods. Did you go way bigger?

[@mick-tl5ui]

Nice runner. What carbs are you using?

[@natemchugh3633]

Hey great looking bike I actually have the same one! Um just curious what's the fastest yours will go?

[@karchanderson5071]

Hey man, love the bike. Building on the same one right now. Where'd you get the seat?? Cheers

[@tiagomaldonadosantos]

Had a custom wood seat pan made, plus upholstered!

[@erichradek_32]

What kind of muffler are you running? I’d love to put this on my 83’ 440, honestly I’d want to copy your whole bike haha

[@oechikr]

I'd downshift and open it up in that tunnel!

[@hippievago]

Hola! En el puño derecho están las luces o controles de luces hay una palanca de luces altas y bajas y a lado hay una que dice (A y M) esas para que son ...abajo están las de dirección. Gracias

[@tiagomaldonadosantos]

Son para controlar las luces de dirección. A - automatic, M - manual. Cuando tienes el controle en "A", las luces de dirección se detienen automáticamente creo!

[@bradleylariviere]

[@wickedsickness3914]

[@tiagomaldonadosantos]

Yes! + dyno!

[@maartenvancaesbroeck7777]

@@tiagomaldonadosantos Hey, do you know how much horsepower your bike makes ? I have the same bike, the previous owner also did pod filters, free flowing pipes and had it tuned by professionals, so I would love to get an idea what kind of power yours makes :)

[@tiagomaldonadosantos]

Maarten Van Caesbroeck hey Maarten, the bike originally had 20Kw, after pod filters/exhaust/rejecting, it was measuring 28Kw at the rear wheel on the dyno. Cheers!

[@budact4837]

[@Pattisek]

[@tiagomaldonadosantos]

Custom made ;)

[@Pattisek]

​@@tiagomaldonadosantosIt's very nice. I am gonna do the same probably. Can you tell me what jets did you use for carbs ? I want to put double flange KN filter on

[@lucakugler1096]
