Finally its finished.

After picking the bike up like this..

I removed the engine..

And on removing the head I found this..

Stripped down my spare engine, and went about fitting a new block, pistons and head. Then started putting it back together..

Got her fired up a couple of days ago and had a quick test ride round the block (couple of miles) and all seemed to be well. So, this evening, I got the rest of the bodywork on. Just needs a go polish up. Thumbs Up Here she is....

I am really taken with the styling of the old girl, the only better looking Kawaski is the ZX7R, the MILF's daughter Laughing

Even though in puberty, they look damn fine Cool

I've got the pipe, but I'm keeping it, sorry.

Sitting in the back of my garage, waiting for more goodies Wink

I've got the 950cc pistons and liners, going to get some race cams for it soon, and if I have the time, I'll get the crank and rods lightened and ballanced. I'm going to aim for 150bhp at the wheel (or there abouts!).

They came with the liners. As the ZX9 engine uses removable liners you can just remove the old ones so dont need the barrells (or cylinder block as I call it). I just take the head off, barrells off, remove the liners, put the new ones in with pistons, and selotape it all back together. Thumbs Up

I won the auction by 1p I think! Laughing They guy selling them said that the chap I beat, was straight on the phone to him offering him more! Gotta love ebay haven't ya!! Laughing

I like the red mainly because its different, and means it the race version. I've only ever seen one other RR on the road.

This is one bike I'm never going to sell. Wink

Your right about the wheels, they are crap, he got them sprayed the same colour as the bike, green / red & polished rims Confused

I'm probably going to get a new set in green, then keep these crappy ones as spare for the track.

i think id powdercoat, or get those wheels resprayed properly, the standard paint finish on them is notorioiusly shite and chips easily (mine are flakey and rubbish) Sad definatly a keeper of a bike though, quality machines!

tom the 750 fairings wont fit the 400, same shape yes, but bigger dimensions, and differant mouonting points/ cutouts there was a 400 done in the kawasaki france colours though, think it might have been the sp version?

I swapped it for my ZXR750L1 which was in good working order. The guy had it sitting in his garage for over a year with the engine damage.

I love rare bikes so was happy to do a straight swap.

I picked up a spare complete engine (with knackered 2nd gear) for £30, so used the pistons, barrells and head from that engine onto the M2's engine, but put the race cams from the M back in.

I do all the work myself, so, so far its cost me around £100 in parts (gaskets, oil, filter etc..). £80 for the Yoshi pipe and £30 for the engine which I actually had sitting in my garage from last year.

All in its cost me a little over £200 in parts and oil (could have bodged the old exhaust if I really wanted to), and a few hours in the evening and weekends.

So, anyone wanting any engine work doing, give me a shout Wink

Sorry Gaz, didn't see your post mate.

They all use Magniseium engine cases as standard, but the main difference on these models is:

Race Cams
FCR carbs (39mm flatslides)
Close ratio gearbox
Adjustable swingarm pivot
Race suspension
Alluminimium fuel tank (really light and holds 1 litre less)
Race throttle assembly

+ other bits I forget now.

I wanted a bike I would want to keep, and something a little different. I have a letter from Kawasaki UK saying 186 were sold in this country.
