Hey guys,

I am new to this forum and I am also new to kawasaki's. I recently bought a 93 zx7 with around 28k on it for 700 bucks. The bike needed a new front brake line, some lights and some other odds and ends. The guy was converting it to a street fighter and then ran out of money so it is primered and doesnt have any plastics on it. I got everything taken care of to make it road worthy. Here is my problem, The bike is a complete dog up until around7 or 8 thousand rpms after which it begins to pull pretty strong(almost like a turbo kicks in) but below that I think my girlfriends dodge neon is faster. Anybody ever had this problem before? I am coming from a CBR 600 that other than routine maintenance never had a problem. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Welcome to KF and to the new ride.

Not knowing how the plugs read, etc. (do that). The power is pretty linear on the 7's, so would suspect carb cleaning/tuning issues, not synched, or a bad vacuum line or boots. Good luck. The stock pipe still on it as well?

 

mines the same way and I definately think mines pig rich

 

Thanks for the welcome. Yeah it has the stock pipe. I havnt pulled the plugs because the guy I bought it from said that he had just replaced them. But I will pull and examine. Thanks for the reply.
