Z1000H

[ADRIAN H]

Here a some of mine

Stunned - You have a serious collection going there. I do like the Z1000H - but that many is insane.

[Sgt.Pinback]

Regarding G or H prefix engine number I´d like to refer to the KAWASAKI Z1000H parts book:

G = Germany
H = rest of the world

All "German" Z1000H that I know have a "G" engine number.

[Sgt.Pinback]

I´ve not seen/heared of a 4 digid H- frame number so far.

RPeter, what is highest H frame number that you know?

that's interesting.

but given my German H has a chassis of 416 and an engine number in the 3xxx Rob may well have a point.

UK H chassis/engine numbers are both very close to 100

The black and gold one Gus

Do you have H's with G engines in, was the fuel injection different on the H and G

[chrisu]

Exactly the same

[Sgt.Pinback]

Kawasaki made two versions of the 1980 Fuel injection. One for the European market called the Z1000H, and one for the US market called the Z1000G or Classic. Two completely different styled bike but with the same basic engine with one main difference though; The Z1000G engine was stamped with a 'GE' prefix, whilst the European H was stamped with a 'HE' prefix.

......

:

Sorry mate, I dont agree as shown in parts book. And as you say there are HE and GE engines in the H modell.

So GE does not relate to the G-frame US bike.


As far as I know that US "G" Fi modell, that odd soft chopper, has much less hp. I heared 75hp. Whereas the H modell has 98hp.

I have no idea how they reduced performance of the G modell.

Just to stir the pot.

I think Chrisu point proves my theory!, what kind of numbers are your German bikes?

The Z1000G bikes have exactly the same GE number identity as the ones installed in the German bikes.
I have seen a HE number of around 560 from memory, all of my bikes are under 200.

The reduction in horsepower or the Z1000G in the US would probably be down to the emission crap they installed on them. I have broken a few Z1000G engines over the years for parts, i recently did a complete swop from a GE engine into a set of HE casings that i had in storage.

Doesn't really answer the original question of how many are left though I guess

[rpeters]

Z1000G Classic is stated as 93HP at 8000rpm

Thanks. I was misinformed with 75

[Sgt.Pinback]

RPeter,
what is highest H-frame number you know?

[rpeters]

Not sure on that one, from memory all mine are low frame numbers pretty close to the engine numbers. The same H numbered frames were used on both HE and GE engine number bikes

[Sgt.Pinback]

That´s why I asked for highest frame number to get an idea how many H Modells were built.

We know that GE engine numbers are higher (4 digit in the 3xxx range). So is mine (35xx) in frame no. 379.
German bike.

[rpeters]

I checked my records and I actually have two high frame numbers 790 and 791 with HE engines 48x and 48x (two digits apart), both original UK bikes.
The rest of the frames are under or around 200, some under 100, the engines are under 200, most are between 10 and 100.
