This absolutely stunning and extremely rare verified Z1R TC-1.5 runs and rides perfectly.
This Z1R TC is fully sorted, maintained, and ready to ride or show.
1 of 23 Molly Graphic bikes produced with the Log Manifold Turbo System (there are only 6 known survivors to exist.)
-Very rare original Autopulse, Walbro 2100 fuel pump with external fuel pressure regulator
-All body work was removed and meticulously stripped, and repainted with a museum quality paint job performed by Ravenswood Paint and Body with Factory colors and replacement Molly Graphics Decals
-Front and rear brakes have been completely gone through
-NEW Front and rear Dunlop Gold Seal period correct tires with new tubes installed
-The bike has been fully serviced, oil and filter changed, tuned up, and everything works as it should
-The bike has a new battery and the charging system is working as it should
-New fuel lines were installed
-New seals installed throughout the motorcycle, OEM petcock rebuilt
-Seat needs some minor repairs
-30 lb Wika boost gauge
-The motorcycle has the original clutch, and brake levers with the plastic coating
-The very early TC bikes had the turbo drain line going into the crankcase oil cap opening
-The boost level has been verified with a wastegate blow off of 6.5 Lbs. (This low boost level will help keep the engine alive)
-The OEM carburetor has been completely gone through
-The OEM Autopulse fuel pump system has been bypassed and the motorcycle is currently running on a gravity feed system which works perfectly fine up to 12 lbs. of boost. The Autopulse pump had a minor leak and I felt it would be safer to use a gravity feed system. The auto pulse pump, regulator, and fuel lines are still on the motorcycle in the proper locations.
-This very rare log manifold Z1R TC is designated as a TC 1.5 because the first major group of Z1R TC's were stardust metallic and the TC 1.5 was a extremely short run of the log manifold bikes with Molly graphics, please note TURBO CYCLE CORP../ATP used the remaining round air cleaners that were on the original TC-1 Log Manifold bikes. The triangle shaped air filters were not available on the early log manifold Molly Graphic bikes, the TC-1.5 came originally with a round air cleaner because TCC/ATP wanted to use up all of the TC-1 parts.
-The RayJay turbo is the correct early style turbo used on the first 275 models.
-Dyna 3 ignition
-OEM seat has tear in the rear
This extremely rare Kawasaki Z1R TC 1.5 is an excellent quality example that has been mechanically checked out and any parts that needed attention were replaced other than the electronic fuel pump, this Z1R TC runs and rides excellent and is turnkey
