Tasty turbo!
Last month I introduced you all to this Kawasaki Z1-R TC, owned by Chris Kitchen. He asked me to get this bike sorted, so let’s crack on to completion!
Following on from sorting the fuel tap, it was time to get on with the front end of the bike. There was lots to do and the handlebar fairing was removed for access to the various components. Basically here I needed to sort two new UK-spec indicators, brake cable, front brake light switch, bleed the brakes, sort a ‘pull’ throttle cable, H4 headlamp bulb, check all the instruments and tidy up some paintwork.
The front braking system on the Z1-R and TC models are unique in the fact that although the calipers are hydraulically controlled, the master cylinder which sits below the top yolk is operated via a standard ‘Bowden’ cable from a conventional brake
