2003 is the year of birth of the powerful, fast, but at the same time maneuverable Kawasaki z1000. Already at the time of its appearance, it was distinguished by a high displacement and had an original naked design. However, things can get even better. This series underwent changes in 2007, 2010 and 2014.


Motorcycle Kawasaki z1000

Although the Z1000 is positioned as a successor to the Z-series, which attracted millions of fans in the 70s, various elements from the ZX-6R and 6R were used in its creation. These models were released much later than the legendary Z-series - in the 90s.

Specifications

Much has changed about this motorcycle over time, but some things have remained the same. The maximum speed of models of any year of production is 245 km/h. It won't take much time for the iron horse to reach that speed. Kawasaki accelerates to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds.

Fuel consumption can vary depending on how a person drives the motorcycle and how well it is maintained. On average, 5-6 liters of fuel are consumed per 100 km.

Description Kawasaki Z 1000 2003

The description of the Kawasaki Z 1000 2003 motorcycle is in the queue for publication of the article. Announcement: Today, for almost every new motorcycle that comes into being, marketers strive to carve out their own niche. This one is a road sport, this one is a recreational enduro. But what class should we include a motorcycle that has a little bit of everything? A good bike should have a reliable engine, comfortable ergonomics and simple controls.

Despite the fact that good models of motorcycles have a very respectable price, and the season for their use is relatively short, the motorcycle market is developing rapidly. And if you believe the words of dealers, then some models of recently released motorcycles are selling like hot cakes at the beginning of the season, and the models brought to Russia are clearly not enough to fully satisfy consumer demand.

A motorcycle has long ceased to be an alternative to a car, and the times when this equipment was bought only because there was not enough money for a full-fledged car are forgotten. Nowadays, two-wheelers can be called technological marvels in many cases, and their cost can be compared with that of prestigious cars.

Many people have started buying motorcycles for hobby purposes as riding or even collecting them has become a good pastime for many people. Many motorcycles, for example the Kawasaki Z 1000, whose technical characteristics make it possible to call the model a prestigious brand, are in demand among both beginners and experienced motorcyclists.

Currently, it is impossible to purchase a new Kawasaki Z 1000 motorcycle of the 2003 model year, since their production stopped 13 years ago. At the same time, the Kawasaki Z 1000 has excellent technical characteristics, so many people strive to purchase, if not a new, then at least a used version.

Motorcycles with an engine capacity of 953 cc. see, appeared as a result of long work of inventors who sought to create a model that was not inferior in characteristics to other versions of the motorcycle. In some cases, these models are not only not inferior, but also ahead of other motorcycles, as they have minimal fuel consumption and other excellent parameters.

Motorcycles with an engine capacity of more than 400 kb. cm, which includes the Kawasaki Z 1000 - this category of motorcycles simply cannot claim the title of “motorcycle for a beginner.” On the contrary, this is already a serious technique that requires certain control of motorcycle equipment with a smaller engine capacity. Yes, she attracts more attention, she is the most beautiful, fast, interesting and there is a huge selection of models. But as power increases, the weight of the motorcycle inevitably increases. In this class you are unlikely to find motorcycles lighter than 180 kg, unless they are the latest motorcycle models.

On these latest motorcycles, the rear part of the muffler is raised to improve cross-country ability. Now, in order to remove the axle when dismantling the rear wheel, you have to disconnect the muffler. This can be avoided by inserting the axle from the right side, for which it is enough to halve the thickness of the washer installed under the axle fastening nut. * * *In the magazine “Behind the Wheel” it was reported that instead of the standard relay-regulator IZH-PP2S, which is quite difficult to purchase, you can use a relay from a Moskvich car of the latest models. It’s even more convenient to use a PP380 voltage relay from a Lada car. To install it, you do not need to look for another place, since it is located in the same place as the previous one (this is the advantage). Terminals “15” and “67” of the relay are connected, respectively, to the terminals “+” and “Ш” of the generator (“minus” of the relay is removed to "ground"). V.

Minsk MMVZ-3.115 and MMVZ-3.111 Sport

Two gifts from Minsk residents Minsk motorcycles are familiar to every motorcycle enthusiast. Almost all those starting the “motorcycle life” have been learning to drive on these lightweight 125 cc machines for two decades now. Many remain faithful to this brand for many years, because there is no motorcycle that is simpler in design and repair, maintenance and operation, and, finally, more affordable. For a quarter of a century. elapsed since the beginning of the production of motorcycles at the Minsk plant, the enterprise itself has changed beyond recognition. Certainly. his products. At the end of the ninth five-year plan, the team began to master the production of two new motorcycle models at once - MMVZ-3.111 “Sport” and MMVZ-3.115. Thus, Minsk residents responded in action to the party’s decisions on the need for constant renewal and improvement of consumer goods. Our correspondent met with plant director V.N. Kleniksky and deputy chief designer I.I. Drobyshev and asked them to answer a number of questions.

Electric arc from battery

Electric arc welding from a battery on the road The following advice will also be useful for motorcyclists. One day, while on the road, my car suddenly began to lose speed, “shots” were heard from the muffler, and the engine was literally choking on gasoline. The reason was quickly determined - an increased level of gasoline in the carburetor float chamber. After removing the float, I made sure that there was gasoline in it. Having removed it using hot water drained from the radiator, I found a small fistula in the place where the halves of the float were soldered. I decided to fix the problem using an electric arc. Instead of an electrode, I used a simple drawing pencil, sharpened on both sides. A stripped wire was tightly wound around one end of its rod and connected to the positive terminal of the battery. Having pressed the float to the “ground” on the body (away from the battery and gas lines, so as not to cause a fire), lightly touching the second end of the pencil to the float created a happy result.

Design Features

Quite often, motorcycle glass undergoes changes, as owners note insufficient wind protection on the original model. Below are photos of the tuning:

In addition to glass replacement, steering wheel handles and sliders are often installed, and some people install new seats.

Owner reviews indicate that Kawasaki is not subject to frequent breakdowns. If repairs are necessary, numerous manuals available on the Internet will help you cope with the situation. Repairs can be made at any motorcycle dealership.

Many people ask: how much oil should I fill in a Kawasaki z1000 2007-2009? You need to rely on the motorcycle manual, but the average amount is 3-4 liters.

Chassis and brakes

The bike frame is aluminum. It is cast and double. Some people associate aluminum with something fragile, but here it is a serious frame that has enough rigidity to satisfy the technical potential of the Kawasaki z1000 motorcycle.

The rear suspension helps create comfort, because it is pendulum-type and equipped with a monoshock absorber, its travel is 122 millimeters. The front fork provides excellent handling of the new model; rebound and preload can be adjusted.

The steering wheel is made of aluminum with a larger cross-section, which is definitely a plus. It is coated with Alumite 1. Good control is achieved due to the large width of the pipe. If you want to see how easy the new Kawasaki z1000 is to ride, look no further than the rave reviews. Speaking of the control system, one cannot fail to note the excellent weight distribution. Both the throttle bodies and the rear horizontal shock absorber are top notch and, along with the sophisticated exhaust system, distribute the weight properly.

The lightweight rims of the motorcycle wheels are significantly lighter than those of the previous model (by 1.5 kg). This makes it easier to control and reduces the number of sprung masses. And how stylish these Kawasaki z1000 wheels look! Just look at the numerous photos!

It's time to pay attention to the brakes. Brembo - the braking components that are so necessary in this high-speed furious model! These brakes have an excellent reputation: not only production bike models have demonstrated excellent results with them, but also super-fast monsters! Controllability and smoothness are some of the operating principles of the local braking system, so the safety of the motorcycle is at the proper level. There is also an abs system.

Victor, 43 years old

An excellent motorcycle for city riding, it accelerates very quickly to incredible speeds. The weight is quite large - 220 kg, but it is easy to drive. The main problem is insufficient wind protection. At high speeds it blows away a lot, so the glass has to be replaced.

The gears are quite short, but this does not interfere much with the ride. The instrument panel is digital and can be a little difficult to understand.

Production

The motorcycle is produced by a world-famous concern. Kawasaki Heavy Industries' philosophy is to produce safe, productive and reliable products. Advanced technologies have been used by the company's engineers since the 50s of the last century.

The company has mastered many technologies, including:

  • anti-lock braking system;
  • remote start activation system;
  • monocoque frame;
  • intelligent relay-regulator.

There are many other technologies that Kawasaki successfully integrates into its creations.

Appearance, distinctive features

Display determination and confidence - if Kawasaki's designers had such a task, they did it one hundred percent. The presence of plastic panels does not distract from the main elements, but creates angular lines. Here minimalism is combined with functionality: the instrument panel is compact but informative, there is no windshield, below the steering wheel there is a small fairing in which headlights are mounted, reflecting the daring character of the motorcycle.

The gas tank is located quite high, below the level of the steering wheel, its narrowed shape does not interfere with the biker. The seat is designed only for the rider; the rear fender becomes an extension of the saddle.

The engine and main components are made in black. Fairings are manufactured in attractive colors:

  • black metallic,
  • pearl gray,
  • shining emerald,
  • green.

The exhaust pipe located on the right side of the driver deserves special attention. Its bizarre forked shape resembles the tail of a robotic fish, blending seamlessly with the exterior of the motorcycle.

Model/modification history

The ancestor of the bike is considered to be the Z1 (900), the first representative of the Z-series. The classic road bike was released in 1972.

The new product is based on a modified ZX-9R engine. Torque at low speeds has been increased, power has decreased by 4 hp. compared to the ZX9. The model was different from its naked counterparts. The engine mounts are removable for easy access for maintenance. The damping technology is borrowed from motocross bikes.

  • 2007 Restyling took place, giving the bike an ABS system. He got the updated ZX-9R engine, which, in combination with a new exhaust system design, provides a reduced upper rev limit, but an increased mid- and low-speed range. The bike got new calipers and a smaller fuel tank (18.5 liters instead of 19). Power is 125 hp.

  • 2010 The design has been updated and ABS is now standard. The gas tank capacity is 15 liters. The engine was increased to a modern volume of 1043 cm3, the power was increased by 13 horsepower.

  • 2013. Kawasaki releases a “special edition” version to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the series. The bike differs from its predecessors mainly in its exterior.

  • 2014. The design is upgraded, including LED optics. The diameter of the brake discs has been increased, the gas tank has become 2 liters larger, and the power unit produces 142 hp.

  • 2017. The fifth generation begins its story with an updated suspension. The Z1000R Edition rolls off the assembly line in a stylish design, with Brembo M50 brakes, Ohlins shock absorbers and the corresponding EURO4 eco-standard.

Being one of the best in the class, this samurai never ceases to improve and surprise with its technical and aesthetic components.
