    Running in ZXi1100

    Hi Guys

    Thought I would say hi and introduce myself. This forum is packed with information and it's good to have some local (Perth) and knowledgeable guys on the board. I just picked up a second hand ZXi1100 with a rebuilt engine and just have a query as to the best way to run this engine in, I tried search but couldn't really find what I was looking for.

    The guy I bought it off said to run a pre-mix 25:1 for another 2 tanks and then change to a pre-mix 50:1 (oil injections has been taken off)

    Do i run a jetski in like any other machine ie. vary speed, revs and load? What do you guys recommend? I was thinking of launching it near the race course and going for a ride along the river.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Cheers

    Kawasaki has pulled the covers off its new motorcycle line for '09, and there's lots to discuss. A revised, lithe ZX-6R sheds about 20 pounds, much of it from the engine itself. It also gets updated Showa Big Piston forks and a new look based on its big brother, the ZX-10R. Speaking of which, Kawi's literbike sees only a few changes for '09, most notably a new green, white and black color scheme that looks excellent. Moving from the top of the performance ladder, the middleweight Ninja 650 gets a new fairing that brings it more in line with the rest of the Ninja line, plus a few engine mods to meet new emissions regulations. In a bit of really cool news, the U.S. finally gets the ER6-n, essentially a naked version of the popular Ninja 650 -- we likey.

    Here we go again. Some people just don't know what they're talking about.

    Run it at 40:1 for the 1st tank then 50:1 from then on. But use fully synthetic oil if you are going to mix at 50:1.

    They're nothing like bikes. Trust me. I used to be a mechanic & I have 1 of OZ's fastest ZXi's as well as a very quick KX250 moto-x bike.

    Thanks Bearded Shark, will do. Before I took it out I got some other advice from jetpower they gave me similar advice to you and just run through the rev range.

    I've been reading your build thread and I am very interested, will be send you an email soon

    cheers

    Sorry mate, forgot that I'd changed my email. Sent you a PM.

    Welcome to the forums by the way. Yeah, varying the revs is pretty important. I meant to mention that. Don't baby it but don't push it either.
