This truly unique Kawasaki Z1000R framed racebike with Z1000S1 Kit Engine was run in 1982 in the Dutch championship and became 2nd. The bike was raced by Dutchman Gerard Flameling. After the season it was stored at the sponsors raceshop and re-discovered only a few years ago. The bike is now brought back in running condition. It's not 'over' restored, but all is still like in 1982 and period correct. The Dutch Kawasaki importer Joh. Bruinsma, at the day in 1982 got hold on 2 sets of S1 engine kits, one went into this fantastic racebike. The S1 engines where also run by Lawson and Rainey in the AMA championship along with other privateer teams such as for example Racecrafters raced by Klinzmann. It is known that only 29 of those S1 engines where built into a Z1000J framed bike and where produced by Kawasaki specially for the AMA series. Forget the ELR /Eddie Lawson Replicas. This former racebike is most likeley the closest you can get. The bike has Dymag wheels. WiWo brakes front, AP Lockheed rear, new set of Dunlop tyres. New oil and filter. New chain. New handlebars. New brake pads. It comes with documentation as partsbook with all the S1 kit parts numbers and the unique S1 operating / service manual. The engine was build-up on brand new factory delivered engine cases and has for that reason no casenumbers, the cilinders are 998cc (not the 1015cc kit) because of the rules in 1982 in the Dutch championship. It has the 8 spark S1 ignitionset. The engine is NOT opened up or checked internal. The start-up / running video is posted here below. CR carburators (brand new) are to be adjusted to the engine. Additional some S1 New Old Stock spare parts can be purchased. Such as close ratio gearbox with different shafts and gears. Pistons, Springs, valves and cylinders and gaskets. Also the special ignition cover is available.
