The Kawasaki Z1300 is a standard motorcycle unusual for its large-displacement 1,300 cc straight-six engine made by Kawasaki from 1979 to 1989.
Previously referring to the Z1300 as an Autobahn stormer, when reviewing their 'Machine of the Year' competition results in 1979 after readers had voted for the Triumph Bonneville as the winner, UK weekly newspaper Motor Cycle News stated "Kawasaki, with their Z1300 - a superb example of technology by anyone's standards - has gone overboard in many people's minds", characterizing it along with the Honda CBX, Suzuki GS1000, and Yamaha XS1100 as 'hyperbikes' for their extreme size and performance for the time.

Awesome I’m picking one of these up over the weekend it only has 11k miles on it 😊
@@mrmoon1482 ,, thank you for watching, and congratulations on a smart purchase. Yesterday I fired up the ST and I just love the low grown rumble at idle in the parking garage. ❤️🤙🏍️
jullie breken gans de motor er voor af en je kan ze er zo insteken , ja het is wat wring werk maar op een half uurtje steek ik ze er in zonder iets af te breken.
Hallo 🤙🙋♂️. Bedankt voor het kijken. Upload een video of geef een link waarin een klus van 30 minuten wordt getoond bij het vervangen van de "194 park bulb". Start de video op 9:56. Bekijk wat er allemaal bij komt kijken voor alleen de rechter 194 lamp met "RECHTE" toegang tot de "LAMP" doorvoertule". Het probleem is de rubberen doorvoertule waarin de lamp wordt geduwd. ST-eigenaren zijn het slachtoffer van deze lampen die tijdens het vervangen in de koplampunit vallen. Het is "ONMOGELIJK" om je vingers en hand te verdraaien om de kleine 194 lampen te vervangen zonder iets te verwijderen. De koplamplampen zijn echter "gemakkelijk" te vervangen door gewoon aan het stuur te draaien EN de ene H4-lamp kan in 2 minuten worden vervangen. Als je beide 194 lampen kunt vervangen zonder iets te verwijderen in minder dan 1,5 uur, deel dan een videolink of de UA-cam-link. Bedankt, ❤️👍🤙🤙🏍️ Hello 🤙🙋♂️. Thank you for watching. Please upload a video or provide a link showing a 30-minute job when replacing the "194 park bulb". Start the video at 9:56. See what's involved for just the right side 194 bulb with "STRAIGHT" access of the "BULB" grommet". The issue is the rubber grommet the bulb is pushed into. ST owners are victims of these bulbs falling inside the headlight assembly during replacement. It is "IMPOSSIBLE" to contortion your fingers and hand to replace the tiny 194 bulbs without anything removed. However, the headlight bulbs are "easy" to replace by just turning the steering wheel AND the one H4 bulb could be replaced in 2 minutes. If you can replace both 194 bulbs without removing anything in less than 1.5 hours, please share a video link or the UA-cam link. Thank you, ❤️👍🤙🤙🏍️
Thanks for the video and careful instructions! So I clearly confirmed that you shove all the way up, then how did you put the new mount on the passenger side? The same way? I just ordered mounts after watching your video :)
@@freedomin1995 ,, thank you for watching 🙋♂️, yes when I pushed the old right motor mount up by the firewall. I lowered the new motor mount the same way I pulled out the old one. I hope everything works out smoothly with your motor mount installation. Keep us posted on how it turned out 🤙🤙
@@MotoTouringWorldWide Hi sir, I've just changed engine and transmission mounts, also the sway bar link. I really appreciate your secret sauce for pulling out shotgun mounts. It was like solving a puzzle haha. Anyway, my c250 is super silent and cozy! Thanks again for this video!!!
@@freedomin1995 ,, EXCELLENT NEWS!!! Thank you for the feedback 🤙🤙👍👍
Do you have any riding tips or tricks? Do you lean or do your push down with your foot on the peg to get into a curve?
@@kennethrogers1129 ,, hello and thank you for watching. It is mostly based on the lean by first positioning your body to the left or to the right based on the turn. For example "left turn" coming up, left butt cheek slides to the left, slight movement of body forward, left knee bent and position correctly on the peg, lean into the turn and push the left handlebar away from you, turn eyes left and helmet slightly left, very important to pay attention to the exact location you want to go and Target fixate on that area, as you're going through the turn the left side of your helmet is pretty much touching your left shoulder area. The tighter the turn you're "pushing" the left side handlebar more away and with your right arm your pulling the right side "in" so you're right elbows going towards your right kidney. Now concentrate on the throttle and the lean, the faster through the turn the more you are leaning and pushing on the left handlebar away from you. Your foot on the left peg is a resting spot, you're not pushing on it. I learned all of this watching UA-cam videos on how to handle a motorcycle on the racetrack. Have you tried UA-cam "Motorcycle riding techniques on the racetrack"? Also do you have a RaceTrac near you where they allow track time? Also another great thing to do is a huge abandoned parking lot is to whip your motorcycle around some cones that you've placed out there and learn emergency maneuver techniques When approaching the cone, make an emergency maneuver around each cone. I hope this information was useful and let me know how things go if you do have a chance on the racetrack 🤙🤙🏍️🏍️
Was watching your tach and speed, wow you had it wound out pretty good!!
@@kennethrogers1129 ,, so far I've gotten it up to 152 mph. On my video list you will see the thumbnail of a flame coming out of the exhaust pipe that is my other video when I hit top speed towards the end of the video. Be sure to watch my video on "Target fixation". It will definitely make you a better rider and safer and probably save you from serious injury. 🤙🏍️
Funny enough I've been getting ready for this job, got all my parts and everything, and Stew's is closed as they're sub-leasing the work stations out to Rivian. I guess it's time to do it in the driveway. oh boy.
@@DankTech ,, I drove by the other day and I was upset when I saw Rivian Trucks take over. It's going to be tougher to do your motor mounts mostly from above but it can be done. Have a jack stand on each side of the car, then you can use a floor jack to raise and lower the motor when removing and installing the mounts.... I was going to do an oil change and overall inspection at Stews Garage, but now I have to do it at home in the parking garage. I purchased an oil suction machine to suck the oil out of the Mercedes. I will post that video soon, it turns out it's much easier to change the oil with the suction machine. I wish you the best with your motor mount replacement. Please let me know how it worked out for you. Have a great weekend 🙋♂️🤙😊
@@MotoTouringWorldWide there’s a shop up in Everett I might check out, the oil extractor is a huge quality of life improvement, a ton of uses! Makes oil changes take 20-30 minutes, although my wife’s car has the filter underneath the car so I still have to lift it.
I had the honor, the privilege to ride one of these I believe. My father bought it from the neighbor for $100 and got it running. He is better with motors than I am. It was painted orange. Found in a basement in a brick home. Opened up the crankcase and water came out. The house probably flooded because ours would next door at times. It came with a manual that said 1966 Benelli sprite barracuda i thought it said. But this is so close this is sort of it or it. It was sort of a Frankenstein bike I would call it. it was missing the strap. Seat was maybe replaced and torn at back and we taped it. It was already painted bright industrial classic orange. He fixed the clutch and engine i helped a little holding tools flashlight or whatever. Got a certain spark plug and got it going and I learned to ride it. Took of first time but didn't know how to get into second right so i just held the clutch in. The gearshift and the brake were on the opposite side because it was Italian i think my dad said. Had a little box you could put tools in. I put skull decals (stickers) on it and taped a radio on it. 125cc was great. Little egg shaped motor. Turn on and off gas. Kickstart. The electric didn't work or no lights. Speedometer didn't work. The tires would inflate but old and dry rotted. I wouldn't ride at night anyway just alleys and trails and such. I think some water came out of the exhaust when it first got fired up after a long time.
@@Maaaatttttt ,, thank you for watching 🤙 Such a wonderful story that you are sharing with us. Excellent memories ❤️🤙🏍️
I have a 2006 ST1300 ....Tell me if you like her ! .What a fantastic video....Thanks Man ,,..........ua-cam.com/video/yVdkOrlcFsg/v-deo.htmlsi=Ajo1nR0X_fvKsjQK
Thanks for the video! Exhaust looks & sounds great! Unrelated question, what mount was that between your handlebars? How/where exactly was it attached? Thx
@@alpine80s hello and thank you for watching 🙋♂️. I have been asked this question before and I helped out a friend of mine. Helibar makes the center aluminum riser. If you're lucky you will find one with the ball mount AND the BMW 12 volt socket power type outlet. Last year when I was searching the Heli bar for sale had only the ball mount. Maybe you can find one used with both Mount and power port. Thanks again for watching 🤙🏍️

@ 1:30, that's not a KZ1300, that's the Z900 super six that Allen milyard made from two Z900 engines, It's a stunning bike none the less
@@TechnoJonny , you have an excellent eye for noticing!! Alan's bike is so beautiful, I just had to include a few seconds of his gorgeous engine. Thank you for watching ❤️🤙🏍️
Just a note, and someone has probably mentioned this before, pop the fill cap loose before you remove the drain plug. You want to make sure that you can add oil after it's empty.
The filler cap threads are also VERY easy to strip and must be torqued as specified. Do not over tighten. 🤙🏍️
@@MotoTouringWorldWide Yep, it's a big pet peeve of mine. Drain bolts are not head bolts. They need just the right amount of torque to hold them and to keep them from leaking but no more. There is no need for gorilla hands.
Just wondering for a beginner auto service and don't want to rent a shop for long term and contract, is it profit to rent space like this and bring you own tools? All we need is the lifts for ease of operation in most cases. I have heard some shop will lease space too to mechanics so added income that way if they are not busy. Making money out of every inch lol b/c you have to pay the landlord.
@@jamescc2010 ,, hello James 🙋♂️, if you take a look at all the costs involved to open up your own shop, buy all the tools, pay electricity, utilities, waste disposal, license fees, property taxes, labor and industries, marketing, insurance and all other business expenses to get started,, it actually would make more sense to rent a hoist for $50 an hour and do this as a side job as extra income on the side. If you charge $150 an hour to work on a car, with a hoist rental at $50,,, you're making $100 an hour plus the money you make on the parts makeup. The hard part is finding a local shop that will let you rent a hoist all day at 50 bucks an hour. I wish you the best 🙏🤙👍
I’m a sportsbike nut, but have had the pleasure of riding one of these for 3 days a while ago and the whole experience blew me away. A fantastic ride.
Thank you for watching. I rode sports bikes back in the 80's, then went to car racing. However, once I rode this ST1300 in August of 2018, I bought it, LOL. I love my ST. I'm currently on Vancouver Island in Canada enjoying this beast. Take care ❤🤙🏍
@@MotoTouringWorldWide Have fun! I may even buy one of these for the showery days we get in Scotland 😃
@@Ukmongoose3 ,, the faster you go in Scotland, with the windshield raised up,,, the dryer you stay, LOL 🤙🤙😂😂
@@MotoTouringWorldWide Haha, yes, I thought that might be the case!
I still have my 2004 ST1300 from new. Took it to the max when I first got it. 147MPH GPS. After that I cooled my jets because I now know what it can do. It’s a fast bike for sure. Also top box wobbles are not to be ignored. I typically don’t ride with the top box because of that but on touring it’s worth it for convienience.
@@pentachronic ,, I did the same thing, took my ST on the racetrack and got it out of my system,, now I know what the bike can do. Believe me on the top box, with the panwobble, it scared the shyt out of me a few times. Awesome motorcycle. I'm currently riding mine through Canada on Vancouver Island,, and love it ❤️🤙🏍️
@@MotoTouringWorldWide Awesome. I took mine up to Vancouver and Nanaimo island with my top-box and yes it’s scary. I limited my top speed to 80MPH to keep in the safe zone (I was touring and not racing!!). Really enjoyed ferrying the bike over to Nanaimo and going down to Victoria. Overall it was a fantastic vacation up the West Coast going up HWY 1 in CA (from San Francisco), through OR and WA and up. The bike is perfect for all weather and the main mod I have done is heated seat and a throttlemeister + 12V outlet for a heated vest/gloves if I need. Want to do an Alaska trip someday from SF Bay area. Nice long loop through WY and up through Canadia !! Have fun and stay safe and warm.
@@pentachronic ,,, if you go down my list of videos you will see some cool rides through British Columbia up north of Whistler, to Hell's Gate to Harrison Hot Springs.. The Horseshoe Bay Area is also gorgeous. Those were some amazing motorcycle rides. I also have the throttlemeister which works great. My heated gloves and shoes work off of a battery that will keep my hands and feet warm for about 6 hours and that's about it. I did experience some pan wobbling with that top box on but it didn't hit me until after 120 mph. However those are one-off and that's not normal I just keep it between 80 and 90 on the freeway but through Canada and I take it easy. You've done some pretty amazing rides. I also did the Oregon coastline and made some videos on that too and I really really like the Oregon coastline. End of the year I'm probably shipping my bike to Northern Germany and then I'm going to ride it down to Austria and ride throughout Europe next year and probably permanently stay and just live in each country for 2 or 3 months a year. However the best motorcycle rides ever or through the Alps. It's so magical and amazing and there's thousands of touring bikes everywhere to the top of the mountains throughout the Swiss and Austrian Alps and Northern Italy to amazing restaurants and cafes on top of the mountains. Such an amazing lifestyle ❤️🤙🏍️
@@MotoTouringWorldWide Will check you vids out. Have only just got back onto the ST today after a 3 years hiatus (various reasons - mainly schedules and time). Doing the Alps (Swiss, Italian and French) is a dream for me too. Would like to do India too but the roads are a bit dodgy there. Unfortunately I’m not retired yet but if I were I’d be doing exactly what you are planning on doing. Put all my stuff in storage and be gone. Ship bike, get carnet papers sorted and that’s that! Live wherever you need or want to stay! I’ve pretty much done the west coast (apart from WY) and would love to do Alaska as a mid summer trip. Set off at end of may and take a couple of months touring. Then I’d get to do Whistler and the like too. I look forward to your vids. Will check out your other stuff too since I’ve just discovered your chanel.
Excellent thank you 💯👍👍👍

@@stevegordon2032 ,, hello steven 🙋♂️, thank you for watching. Have a great ride, and a safe one ❤️🤙🏍️
You have a beautiful set up! How difficult is the install on the exhaust? I have an exhaust leak on mine and I’m dreading pulling the fairings lol. I just got it a few days ago
@@thesonicandsally ,, hello and thank you for watching 🙋♂️🙋♂️. Replacing the exhaust is very easy. Here's my latest video when I upgrade from the 13-inch to the 18 in. ua-cam.com/video/fnaorb8tfRM/v-deo.htmlsi=V-KiONIf5_41kAzl If you go down my video list you will also be able to find some other videos that I've made on the bike and travels. ❤️🤙🏍️
Wirklich Schäää gemacht Michael 🤙🤙
Dank Schoen
Well, I ended up getting some goose bumps!!
Me too. Thanks for watching 🤙🏍️
I love the older Kawasaki's, especially the Z1300. Great Video 🤙🤙🏍🏍
You and me both!
I ride a ST1300 (among others in my garage) and I am familiar with the Pan wobble. A side note- I used to race 750 SuperSport in Colorado MRA (several tracks) with a best finish as 3rd in a national race. I am absolutely impressed on your ride that the fast lap video shows and it is really like that (except the other riders are competing in an actual race) and willing to bump you if necessary. Keep up the videos. Love to see them.
Hello and thank you for watching 🙋♂️. Your 750 Super Sport is definitely a classic ride ❤️. Congratulations on your success on the racetrack 🤙🤙. My time on the racetrack was pretty rewarding for me. I used to race and work for the Gebardt BMW racing team back in 1990 and loved it. Life continues and then stuff happens such as my stroke. I was still recovering in this video with my ST1300 to try to fulfill some dreams I had. (Life is too short) I didn't want to say "I wish I would have,, I wish... So my track time was self-fulfillment and was pretty much a sweaty task with a 750 lb bike wet plus my 220 lb ass,, LOL, made it tough. Plus my pegs were too low and scraping. I agree some real competitive track time would get "bumpy". Thanks again for watching and have a great weekend ❤️🤙🏍️
My rear brake keeps wanting to lock up. Still working on it.
Were you able to get the rear caliper to losing up? Sometimes a front rear bleeding procedure will help 🤙🏍️
Can i do this service to my w204 using car ramps and 2 ton jack?
Nothing worse than having the owner there , know matter how friendly you are with each other 😅
Agreed 👍,, I'm a professional automotive technician (now entering retirement) there's nothing worse than some dude hovering behind you. However this was all done for the video LOL ,, ❤️🤙🏍️
I have a Puig Smoke screen and i LOVE IT!
Mee too. Do you get weird wind noises at lower speeds if the windshield is at just the right spot?
@@MotoTouringWorldWide Correct! It is the two vents in the plastic just near the bottom of the screen. I put some foam tape there (upper edge only) and the noise subsided. I want to figure out a prettier and permanent fix. My first batch of foam tape came off.
@@nedmilburn Good info. I will play with some foam tape and see what happens with my wind nose. Thanks
How would you compare these 18" to the 13"...? Lower, more bass...? And a bit quieter...?? I love the look of the tips of the short tri ovals, but the longer muffler sound might be better for me...
Hello and thank you for watching 🙋♂️. I had the 13-inch for 5 years then last summer I installed the 18-inch. The 18-in has a lower tone and grunt with a nice gurgle. I have not removed the baffles yet to see how much louder they are. But I definitely prefer them over the 13-inch especially if my wife is on back because it was too noisy with the 13-inch. 🤙🏍️ Good luck
@@MotoTouringWorldWide What did put do with the 13s...? You probably sold them already is my guess...
@@nedmilburn ,, Yes 😊,, I sold the 13-inch ones in less than 2 days here locally in Seattle. The guy put them on his Police ST1300 and rode back to Bellingham all happy.
Awesome riding and video. What year is your ST?
Thank you for watching 🤙. I have a 2007 with ABS , I LOVE THIS BIKE ❤️🤙🏍️
@@MotoTouringWorldWide Thanks for responding. It’s very fun riding with you. Thanks for sharing.
haha hilarious
Thank you for watching 🤙🏍️
A Classic for sure!!
I have the 18-inch exhaust and it's the perfect rumble sound but just right and not too loud. No more sewing machine exhaust.
I feel better now 😊😊🤙🤙🏍🏍
I watched a lot of your videos,, and this is probably the best touring video. Love the Canadian coastline ❤❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dammmmm DUDE!!! Your ST rocks to track. Love the bike.
I learned the same in motorcycle school, but a good refresher video like this was better to see actual examples of what NOT to do and WHAT to do. Basically, STARE at your target on where you want to go.
I'm getting the NEXUS Pass now. Well worth it.
It CAN NOT be done in 30 minutes or less. I tried reaching in with my hand to access the little bulb from the back. It is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE as some viewers wrote & bragged about. I followed your method but unfortunately, my right 194 peanut bulb fell inside the headlight assembly like yours. Seeing how miserable your experience was, I got a shop vacuum cleaner and attached a long little rubber hose, and sucked my bulb out of the headlight. Your method was working to grab the little bulb out, but use a shop vacuum next time. Thanks for the great video.
Thank you for watching and thank you for the info 🤙🏍️
Awesome video!! Because of your info, I'm going to take a trip to Point Roberts on my Goldwing.
Glad it was helpful!
I will look into purchasing one of these. Thanks for the video. I hope your daughter did NOT pee her pants after the video, LOL.
Thank you for watching and good luck.
Time to blow the dust off my bike and ride the Oregon Coast. Thanks for the excellent video.
Oregon is beautiful. Have fun. 🤙🏍️
Thank you for the video. I fought my airbag for an hour. When I found your video, I finally got my airbag out in less than 5 minutes.
Nice work! Great to hear!
I'm so glad I found your video. My car has the EXACT same noise. I will get started repairing my W204. By the way, your Benz is SUPER clean from top to bottom. Looks factory-new in the engine compartment. Not even a smear of oil residue.
Glad it helped. I do have a little OCD and keep my car VERY CLEAN. ❤️👍
Hi, Thanks for the great content very usefull! I have almsot the same problem on my manual w204 (c200d stage1), I wanted to know if your car also made a loud noise et big vibration when you Turned off the motor ? Thank you
Hello and thank you for watching 😊. A manual w204 C200d is an excellent Mercedes. My car does not have a loud noise or vibration when turning off the motor, but I'm thinking that you may have an exhaust heat shield vibrating or a turbo spooling down? Do you have an automotive stethoscope? It is very cheap and will help locate noises. Here is a link to an example: www.amazon.com/Lisle-Stethoscope-Kit/dp/B0002SQYSM?th=1 I would remove the black portion of the stethoscope so just the plastic tube is near the noise. The sound will travel and become "louder" to your ears the closer the "end" of the plastic tube is "nearing" the "noise". You will need someone to turn the car off while you listen and place the tube where you think the noise is coming from. I hope this helps with diagnosing the noise. Keep me posted on what you find. Have a great weekend. 😊👍
Hello, thank you for your answer! After watching your video I changed the rear mount (of the gearbox) I started by this one because it was the cheap one, but the big (one time) vibration still here when I turn off my motor. I putted a full inox exhaust as the c63 with 4 piped about 3 months ago, but I don’t think it’s linked… I noticed on these last 2 days that when I drive really slowly it still does the strange sound but quieter and I feel the motor lifting a little bit around 2-2.5rpm, I guess it’s the big mounts. I’ll keep you informed when I get over this and hope my comments can help other people in the community ! Thank you
rider skills and a capable bike..
❤️🤙🏍️,,,,,,, thank you for watching 🤙🏍️

Any mods on it? Do your foot pegs scratch?
Hello and thank you for watching 🙋♂️🤙. The only power-mods I have on it is the Booster Plug which gives the bike maybe an extra 3 or so horsepower. Top speed on the track before the booster plug was around 145, after the booster plug I got it up to 152. It also only adds extra horsepower when cracking the throttle to full throttle, otherwise daily driving and cruising is exactly the same. I also installed 18 inch Delkevik exhaust (see video). Maybe 1 or 2 horsepower extra and 20 lbs less weight. I removed the 4 elbow air intake snorkels from the air filter housing but I don't think it does much other than breathe better. I have a Super Brace for better handling thru the turns and stability. And yes my foot pegs SCRAPED horribly through the turns and was very annoying. I've looked for a kit to raise them but I have had no luck. I've got plenty of accessories on the bike also. Do you also ride and ST Pan-european ? Have a great weekend 🤙🏍️

Tires should've been balanced with the bluetooth tire pressure monitor installed
They are extremely lightweight but,,, they should have been installed during balancing. Next set of tires I will have them on during balancing. 🤙🏍️
Love her... and still hope you own her !!!!! .....These bikes are simply amazing !
Hey, thanks for watching, 👍👍. I do still LOVE my ST. I'm thinking of shipping it to Germany this summer and riding it thru Austria to Italy.
