Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- Temps dropped into the 30s so I am running the fuel out of the 779RR's FCR41 carbs. Before I do that tho, I wanted to see which of these two classic monsters sounds meaner. I couldn't decide. Maybe you guys can chime in and help.
Both sound great. The flat slides are meaner for. Love all your videos keep them coming.
Thanks man. I plan to definitely get back on the ZX7R next season for some cool vids.
Your passion and respect for the ZX7R made me start subscribing to your channel and you never disappoint :) I own a stock ZX7R myself and the bike is nothing less of awesome. I gotta admit I have a soft spot for the ZX7R, it just sound so mean.
Greetings from Denmark.
Thanks man. Yes 7Rs are fantastic and a nice change from the norm today. Every time I bring mine out it starts a conversation.
Greetings from Scotland 🏴, both sound awsome could not pick a favourite, had a few 6s and 9s over the years and pick my first 7r this weekend, thanks for the video 👍
Awesome! Congrats on your 7 and thanks for the feedback.
Hey man, both bikes sound great! Love yer ZX build video's,awesome thorough content and equal enthusiasm.....Scott in Detroit
Thanks Scott!
Fantastic channel. Im also in love with my zx7r. Amazing bike!! Greeting from Denmark.
Thank you!
Love them both they both sound fantastic, the race built one love the sounds of the flatslides can’t beat that sound
I Love Flatslides! A bit finnicky in cold weather but very nice all around.
Sweet bikes man, hope mine gets to that level one day!
Man, I still have a Muzzi can from way back in the early 90's. It's in mint condition too.
Your living the dream. Hat tip to you man. ZX7R was my first race bike, and I sold it to pay for my wedding rings 😣. Total regret! Now most are in really bad shape or they want to much or it’s located across the Atlantic or Canada. I just sold a perfectly good motorcycle because I just didn’t like it, and because I didn’t like it I didn’t ride it. Now I have a hole in my life. Found a few RR’s. They are stupid expensive. Like almost ZX10RR money. I have fast car so that will have to do for now.
Get an 00-03 ZX-9R....Not only they great bikes, but they're cheap and available. Not sure why they've been overlooked, but it's a gift to someone in the market for an old-school growler 🐲
I love zx7's! Nice work, You got Great taste in bikes bro🤘🤘
Thanks bro
Hello from England, great channel! Owned my green 02 7r nearly a year now, so much character and still a very capable bike. It's gonna go into hibernation soon as I don't ride in the winter sludge anymore, any tips for winter storage?
Thanks Pugsly. Just fill up the tank with fresh fuel and add a fuel stabilizer. Then let the bike run with the petcock set to "Off" so the carbs can run dry. When the bike dies then you know the carbs are empty. You should be good to go until next season. If you have a track bike, make sure to remember to drain the water/water+water wetter so that it doesn't freeze up and crack your cylinders (if the bike is stored outside). That's pretty much it.
The RR sound more aggressive 😈
Cheers buddy
Thanks bud. The RR definitely has a mean throaty growl.
I swear, I keep wanting to give up on my zx-7r. Then I see your bikes, and think about building it.
Build that thing bro!!!!!!!!! I go through the same thing honestly sometimes. If I sold both my 7s I could get about $7-$8000 and put it toward something nice also. But every time I go spend some time with them I quickly come to my senses. I'm keeping these things forever.
If you have a 7 keep it in time they’ll get their value. Wish kawasaki would bring it back give some comp for the gsxr750
Ah man. I love both. There is something about the stock 7r that has real heart. However the project bike sounds epic. I'm off to run my own stock 7r dry tomorrow 👍
I agree. The stock bike held its own against the monster. These bikes have so much character!
They both sound delicious.. The stock one wins my heart. ❤
Love that ZX7R
ZX 7 sounds meaner got a tad bit throatier . Excellent machines both of them . Great video
Thanks!
ZX-7Rs are still the best looking bikes out there!
Have you thought about adding a 1993ZX7RM1 to your collection? I know of one that might be for sale
I did at one point but honestly at the moment I’m not sure if I could justify the purchase. I didn’t ride at all last year and not sure how much riding I’m doing this year. I’ve been doing some investing during the pandemic. Once things get back to normal we’ll see.
Esta de lujo la blanca
Just picked up a 97 P2 I'm racing in AHRMA Next Gen 2 for the 2021 season, can't wait
Congrats man. Have fun!
Are you far from Jersey im picking up a 01 soon i need a trustworthy mechanic to look it over
Hi, do you work on other peoples zx7rs ? looking for carb tuning on a 2001 zx7r ? If so , do you have a website ?
Hi Scott, I don’t work on other people’s bikes. I work full time and also have a side business. Just no time to do it.
I love my ZX7r I will be in a box with her. When I go She Goes not a second earlier. I wish someone would do a Turbo kit on the 7r See what that would go like or a fuel injection convertion.
both bikes sound great!, I did enjoy better the OEM one, cleaner sound. Anyway both are beast!
I’m loving both brother but the 779 takes it for me more raspy in the revs but I kind a like the zx7 at idles sound sympthony ps I’ve got the dynojet kit on order man for my Zx9r lots going on I will post a little video myself once she’s all finished take care for now buddy 👍
Awesome man. Love it! I love the dynojet kit in my ZX9R. It really did make a difference. You will notice.
Don't forget to disconnect the fuel pump when running the carbs dry. The stock 7 sounds meaner on video.
That's a great suggestion. I typically don't do that and never had a problem but it is very good practice. I usually just fill up with fresh fuel and add a fuel stabilizer after letting the carbs run dry.
@@Turbo329 please paint the race 7 in the factory race colors(green). Eric Bostrom one year had this metallic green in AMA racing which was sick. 1999 I think. I found one dated July 2000, I can PM it if you want but do not know how...
Zx7r sound great like mine sound
Thanks!
Nope. 'Running dry' does not empty all the fuel from the carb, it leaves a little. You want to empty the carb completely, you must remove the bowl and wipe it clean. In truth, a little fuel in the bottom is worse than a full bowl. What prevents jets from gunking up is regular running .... what is right now , running dry or not ?
You're right because moisture can seep in but that has never happened to me yet. I guess because my bikes don't sit without starting for longer than 3 months. Good point. Thanks for your comment.
Your 7RR sounds meaner, but the 7R sounds better IMO.
7R seems to have a little bit higher tone.
Do you want to sell the 02?
Thanks to you my 2001 Zx7r is running beautifully, does +2 -1 lose too much top end?
That’s awesome. Glad my videos help. I run -1 down in front and 2 or 3 up in the rear depending on the track.
Would you recommend the zx7r or the zx9r?
They both sound great but the zx7r sound meaner I love my zx7r Mines all is fix up like racing bike for my first bike
Nice!!
What weight did you get down to on the 779? I always loved the ZX7R but got an E model ZX9R in the end, based on the perception of how heavy the 7 is to lug around.
I don't have an exact figure but I'll get back to you with an estimate.
@@Turbo329thanks buddy, but don't go to any trouble , I was just curious. I love seeing your bikes though and what you've done to create the 779 is inspiring. Keep up the good work. 👍
@@paulperry8800 Thanks Paul. I am actually interested in knowing how much weight is saved but would like to go back to aftermarket wheels before I put the bike on the scale. The Mag wheels I had were aged and had started to corrode so I chucked them. I'll keep you posted. I would imagine that I shed at least 75lbs by removing all the stock stuff.
@@Turbo329 👍
Hey Turbo i got an 03 Zx7r but i bought it all taken apart. Im having trouble because there are 2 lines on either side of the bike that i dont know where they go to. Can you post a video on where your fuel lines are going to on the bottom of the tank please? I would really appreciate it. Thanks
I will be happy to help but won't have access to the bikes for a couple of weeks. If you can post a video I can watch it and make some comments.
Turbo329 Do you have an instagram? I would be able to show you easier there. Love your bikes by the way. Whats your opinion on the zx7r for a first bike?
what do you think about dynojet? is it worth it, is it better to adjust the original needles with shims?
I love Dynojet. I’ve put them in every carbed bike I’ve ever owned.
@@Turbo329 I installed in my motorcycle(zxr 400), I set up jets to the instructions of the dynojet and it seems to me that it gets too much fuel, because the engine stops over 7000rpm. And so I wonder whether to return to the original keihin95 mainjets and needles, or to start a smaller dj92 than dj96
@@kawosz90 Dynojets use much smaller jets than stock. If you’re running a 9x dynojet main jet I can tell you that’s waaay too rich. Did you buy your dynojet kit new or used? Also make sure your float height is set correctly and that your float valve seats aren’t leaking. Those two things have nothing to do with Dynojet and can also cause the symptoms you described.
@@Turbo329 I set the float height as the instructions say (11 + -2mm), and exactly 12mm, because someone on the forum wrote that need to set a lower fuel level for Dynojet ...I replaced all the needle valves with the new Tourmax, but the original old seats were left in place, so maybe they are not much different and do not match hmm
@@kawosz90 Use only OEM parts on your carbs. I usually get my stuff from JetsRus and K&L
Still think my r6 sounds the meanest but I love the zx s and they both sound fuc.in mean bro I love it..
The R6 sounds great . Hard to argue with 16,000 rpm.
Hey I have a 98 ZX7R. I'm trying to customize everything but I really don't know where to start. Everything is stock. Someone said to get another engine but I think I can customize the bike and get more power\speed\and better sound. Hit me up and lmk
You can find an engine cheap off of ebay but honestly, it's not worth throwing too much money at it. it took me two years, a lot of time and $$$$ to get it to 140hp (Crank). I would just get one, put a Dynojet Stage 1 Jet kit in it, a K&N air filter, and a full exhaust system and call it a day. This is why my '02 is pretty stock.
7R sounds meaner
Flat sides to!
Are you going to paint the bike or what
Nice stable bro
Thanks man. Yes, I'm definitely going to paint it. Actually now would be a good time since no one is going anywhere. hahahahahaha
@@Turbo329 I hear that
what color tho?
Those are two sweet bikes. I used to roadrace a 89, 93 and a 97 model . I used to drag race all my bikes also.
@@BlindMice-wq9zq Thanks man. I'd love to get a K model but they are extremely difficult to find in the USA in clean condition.
Yea I had a chance to buy an 89 last year. But I had to pass on it because of some personal tragedies . I have a 99 that I used to road race and drag race. I have owned it for 20 years. It's been sitting for 10 years. I am going to get it going after all this corona virus things are over. I also have an 03 sv650 that I crashed in my first formula 40 race 11 years ago . I am trying to get my motivation back and your videos are a great inspiration
Stock zx7 sounds better
It’s got a higher pitch. The built motor is throatier.
zx7r sound better super tight
BAD ASS IS ALL I GOT TO SAY
Thanks bro
Black guys and kawa can't go together. Don't know why :P I'm not a racist though
