Kawasaki GPZ description

Amazing bike, very rare. One of the hottest bikes of the 80's and able to beat most 650 and 750 class bikes. Only selling because I had some medical expenses come up and I have a touring bike that I use more often. I hate to let the bike go but I need the money.

Done by previous owner within the last year at Kawasaki dealer:
Front forks serviced
Carbs cleaned and rebuilt with Dynojet stage 1 kit
KN air filter in airbag
Fresh Oil and filter
Ignition Timing set
Stainless front brake lines
Brakes flushed and new pads. Calipers cleaned and inspected
Brand new tires, still have the hairs on them except in the exact center of the tire.
I put less than a hundred miles on them...
New grips
Cables lubricated
New battery
Professional White paint job in clear coat and extremely expensive correct decal kit applied under clear coat.
New plugs and boots

Done by me last month:
Slight corrosion in fuse holder cleaned up
Cleaned carbs and checked fuel level
Small crack in air box sealed
Timing chain adjuster cleaned and freshly lubricated
Checked valve clearance and learned that it is out of spec and needs smaller valve shims
The good news is the cams are great. It has the hottest cam profile for the GPZ, the one with two grooves in the cam shaft.
Tank cap/vent system cleaned and reassembled
Checked tank for rust, no rust in carbs or tank was found

I have a clear title for the bike as well as the original service manual with most of the early service recorded in it.

The bike starts and runs excellent. It has flat power above 6k RPM until it's warmed up, which is consistent with the valves needing an adjustment and/or needing a new coil. There is no rust in the commonly rusted area where the rear suspension is. There is chipped paint and surface rust on the center stand which is normal.

The TT800 From Deus Ex Machina

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

Deus Ex Machina, the surf/moto shop known for creating throwback, one-of-a-kind motorcycles, has released its latest work of art, the TT800. Paying tribute to the highly successful Triumph factory TT machines from the mid-1960s, Deus’ expert builder, Michael Woolaway, created the TT800 for a customer requesting a new, old Triumph. It sources a Kawasaki W650 bored out to 800cc with CR carbs, a custom TT inspired exhaust, custom chromoly racing frame, re-valved Öhlins forks, and a custom gusseted swing arm for more stability. A Beringer six-piston caliper front brake provides stopping power.
