Kawasaki Z1000 Best Picture Gallery DesignGet going and you'll soon find out that the Z1000 doesn't have much to say below 3500 RPM, so give it some more and wake it up, and you! Not that you’ll need any encouragement to do this, as I said earlier it turns you into a teenager and there lies the problem. Get the engine up past the 3500rpm mark and you have a lot of power and torque 'on tap', but be prepared to have a bit of vibration through bars, pegs and seat, it's a bit on the annoying side but livable with most of the time. What turned out to be more annoying was a rattle from somewhere I just couldn't find, it took me over a week to eventually find out that the clutch lever rattled from around 5000rpm up to about 6000 RPM. All it would take to correct this would be a bit of shimming in the lever to stop the slightly excessive play.
