The secret is the oil pan, oil pick up's and breather. AJ Felker Racing has done ours with no complaints. If you want a BEAR the zx10r is your motor. Honest Dad himself ![]() ![]() |

Hi Dad,
thanks for the reply Ive got a 07 Rossen Zx10 with the billet oil pan so hopefully it'll be ok....ive also attached a breather system to it just in case it breathes a little heavy. Id also like to know what revs this engine is good for...im about to put a power commander 5 on it with the auto tune set up so when its on the dyno i'll know my power curve. Cheers Sean |

They are without a doubt the bad 800 pound gorilla motorcycle motor out there now. A bit hard to find parts for and from what I have read and a bit short lived. It is hard to believe anyone has 2 of these things complete at one time. I would suggest trying the sports car guys. They need the horsepower more than we do, with us it is still more set up and driving than power. By the way the new 2012 Kaw is just a few pony's short of the one eyed bandit. That being said if I had the cash I would probably buy them. The Kawasaki is kinda of different from everyone else the BMW would be a freakin freak. Honest Dad himself ![]() ![]() |
