Restoration of a ZX7R - Ep1 | ZX7R Restoration | Tom's Workshop

The first in a new series, I strip my 1997 Kawasaki ZX7R in order to do a complete overhaul. I'll be covering the whole rebuild in detail, so subscribe and follow along as we go!

[@TallBiker]

New subscriber. Nice to see these older sports bikes preserved. I had a 1989 FZR1000EXUP which I owned and enjoyed for 15 years. Did a restoration after 10 years ownership, then after another 5 years I part exchanged it for a mint 1999 TL1000R which was about 6 years ago This will be preserved in it's perfect condition for as long as I'm able to ride it. Purchased a 1989 GSXR1100 earlier this year that was part of a bike collection for 20 years, so I'll do a full mechanical recommission first followed by a bodywork restoration - it's in great condition but I want it perfect. To me both the ZX7R and the TLR were the WOW bikes when they came out, and I just love that v-twin engine in the TLR. Looking forward to the rest of your restoration.

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

Cheers, yeah I enjoyed restoring the EXUP, though happier to be restoring a slightly more iconic bike. I’d love to have a TL or an SP1/2 some day. Even riding an SV makes me want a v-twin 😂

[@ChrisSofos]

So happy to see you in the shop again Tom!! This is going to be another great series! I missed your British humor 😆

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

Haha thanks Chris!

Heat and penetrating oil helps a lot.

[@kafmmaclub]

Can't wait for more. I had an Orange 2003. Loved that bike, still one of the best looking bikes of all time.

[@GingerPiston]

I had '98 in black. The orange ones.looked great but seem to be super rare - think I only ever saw one in a showroom..

Agreed, it was downhill from there 😂

Its only when we start stripping our bikes down when we realise how much work goes into manufacturing them. Good job Tom.

This is making me want to get one as a first bike this summer. Enjoy it then really work on it through winter for next year. Unreal work

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

Hell of a first bike! I can never quite get over the values of them still, you can get a great example for a modest sum if you’re lucky.

Cheers! Yeah I've definitely got a 'type' haha. Also only working on pre-2000s bikes keeps the tools required pretty basic too which I like!

[@waynester71]

This is good.. It’s usually what I am doing, so to sit and watch is actually pleasurable 😄👌🏼 I have 6 1990’s bikes and a 2001 ZX12R. The bike that is receiving my attention currently is a 1999 Fireblade.. I do exactly the same, use labelled freezer bags. I have little nails on one garage wall next to the obligatory white board, so I just hang the bags out of the way, until needed again. I love doing what I do.. it’s my hobby/passion.. but finding parts is getting harder! It took over a year to find an oem exhaust system for my 1990 ZXR750 H2. And when I did, 2 popped up almost at the same time.. so I bagged them both! 😂 Good video mate, excellent editing 👏🏼

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

Thanks mate! Yeah I know what you mean about the parts. I have a handful of alerts set up on eBay for hard to find parts I may need at some point if they come up for sale. I’m on the lookout for a period Akra or similar system for this, and always looking for OEM panels for the RVF 😂

[@PitSmok]

Well done m8, immediately subscribed👍 I've just bought a 03 Zx12r in Black and Gold to join my 17 Zzr1400 and 10 Hayabusa and will be working on it thru the winter. Love the zx7r😁

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

Cheers mate, nice! Sounds like quite a collection of the larger CC bikes!

Excellent video looking forward to the complete series very high quality recording

[@toucheturtle3840]

Recently refurbished my 7R. Forks re-chromed by Philpotts, Nitron rear shock, complete brake overhaul. Carbs fettled by my stepfather, full Akrapovic exhaust system. Dyno’d 118bhp at rear wheel. 15/43 gearing makes it a real hoot to ride. Infectious induction growl, superb handling & gorgeous looks…😁👍🏻

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

Makes me really look forward to getting this back together! I'll be on the lookout for an Akra system or similar.

[@toucheturtle3840]

@@tomsworkshopprojects when I had mine dyno’d the chap said I would be better off putting the standard headers on. I still have the complete standard system in my garage. Ceramic coating is a good way to preserve them, so I’m told… yours look a bit rusty 😉

Awesome video, can't wait to watch the whole series. Just starting to get my Candy Persimmon Red P1 back on the road after a 10-12 year hiatus.

Love these late 90’s ZX7RS!

[@ogofog9120]

I had one new in 1996, loved it. Heavy but that front end. Mine was red & purple

[@nick_sherratt]

Great to see my old bike again, so good I owned it twice! I dropped the bike at Cadwell and had the fairings painted at a bodyshop in Louth but I was never happy with the finish so I didn't finish putting it back together and swapped it for a dolomite sprint. Really looking forward to seeing finished.

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

Was it this actual bike?? Or another 7R? I’d love to head to Cadwell on this when it’s done, though it looks very narrow for a novice 😂

[@nick_sherratt]

Yes, that's my actual old bike and I really regret getting rid. Spur of the moment! I originally bought the bike from premier bikes in Doncaster, the frame and swing arm were already polished I then sold it and bought an x11 which I couldn't get on with so bought the zx7r back again. I've done five or six track days at Cadwell on the Kawasaki and it's great fun just warm your tyres up before getting carried away!

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

That’s amazing! I didn’t get a lot of history with the bike beyond the MOT history online, so it’s nice to fill in some of the blanks 👍🏻

[@ShannonOddo]

wow, what are the odds?!

[@jimjim753]

I had a 01....put 50k miles on it in 5 yrs.. full hindle exhaust, jet kit...loved that bike

[@gormanspacemarine]

I have a 1998 zx7r. Very interesting series ahead. I had to drop the motor to change the selector drum, fork rod and a fork. Joy.

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

That sounds like a job you can only look back on and retrospectively enjoy once it’s definitely working again 😂 for me it would be at least!

[@gormanspacemarine]

@@tomsworkshopprojects Hot tip...I don't know if you've worked on one before or not, but replace the camchain as you can't in the frame.

[@uhtred7860]

I bought a YZF R1 brand new back in 2001, I still have it, only 14,000Km (around 8,500 miles) its absolutely mint, and i love it. But every time i see a lime green ZX-7R I start to think i bought the wrong bike, they just look soooo good.🤔

Hi, I am currently engaged in a similar process with a 98 model and your video (that shows my age) is better than any number of photos I have taken to show where everything goes. I'm using just an Abba stand and I have to say I am rather jealous of your lift. Thanks for great help.... Simon

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

Cheers Simon, yeah I’ve taken plenty of pictures too but often go back to the videos to see what came from where, or more commonly, where I put something that I can no longer find 😂 The Skylift is amazing, especially in a small space, so I can move things about. I have the normal super bike stand too which I did the majority of the FZR rebuild on last year.

[@GingerPiston]

This popped into my feed, and am now subbed. I bought a black one of these new back in ‘98 and adored it - plenty of power for a road bike, albeit a bit of bus! Planted front end though. From memory, don’t think they had a rear hugger at all, so an aftermarket addition I think? Splurged on in a full titanium Akrapovic for mine, but never quite got the carbs set up correctly afterwards. Still think they have one of the best looking front fairings.

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

Cheers, welcome! Yeah I think the hugger is non-standard. It's had the rear under-tray taken out too so it's not a fully standard back end. If the price of them wasn't so crazy, I'd be keen to put it back to the original.

[@GingerPiston]

@@tomsworkshopprojects maybe find an RR rear end, and lose the pillion seat completely?!

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

@@GingerPiston that’s a good idea, the rear seat cowls aren’t cheap either so that may not be a super expensive option.

[@paulwilkinson6608]

Nice little video. Are you going to do the clean air mod when you put her back together ? If your looking for a new system for her. Do not buy a black widow. Your looking for a akra or similar that has balance pipes between the headers

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

Yeah I’ll look into it, though the bike ran really nice before the strip. I’ve been warned about the black widow systems, I’ve been keeping an eye out for Akra systems with the balance pipes, though they demand a big chunk of change!

Hi Tom All in all how many hours did this take you and at what cost ive just purchased one and am contemplating on doing exactly the same

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

The disassembly was probably about 8 hours but it would be nearly half that if I wasn’t filming it all 😂 So far across the project it’s hard to really estimate as I haven’t really tracked it. I think it’ll easily be 100 hours or so and over £1000 spent so far, but I started the project in summer ‘22 so it’s all been spread over 2 years of evenings and Sunday afternoons.
