Z1K Parts Interchange List

Compstall · Jul 8, 2005

This is a comprehensive list of parts from other bikes (or unique/creative mods) that will directly (or w/ minor modification) fit on 1st generation Z1K's ('03-'06). What do you know or have tried on yours? I will add to this list as the inputs come in.

**The listing you see on this FIRST post is current as of post #164!

SUSPENSION / STEERING

Forks
- 03-08 ZX6R
Mods Required: None, the triple clamps are the same.

- 06-07 ZX10
You have to press z1000 stem into ZX10 2006-07 lower triple. Check the following link for help: http://www.riderforums.com/showthread.php?t=41243
** 2004-2007 ZX10 forks are okay.
** 2008 ZX10 forks are too long.

Shocks
- 03-05 ZX6R
Mods Required: The '05 636 shock will NOT directly bolt in. The lower legs on the 636 shock are 2mm closer together, and there is a spacer inside the shock linkage which will not fit into it. Need to have 1mm milled out of the inside of each shock leg to get it to bolt in.

- '05 ZX10R
Mods Required: I've personally got one, just haven't installed it yet. Mods TBD...

- 01-04 GSXR600
Mods Required: Minor clearance probs, slightly too short

Swingarm
- 98-02 ZX6, ZX9, and ZX12

Dog Bones
- ZX9 or ZX6
Mods Required: None required

BRAKES

Rotors
- ZX10R Wave Rotors - fronts DO NOT fit, the mounting holes are offset

- z1000(03-06), ZX12R(05-07), and ZR-7S(03-05) front brake rotors are all the same

**Additional info from DynaGrego:

Z1000 03-06 can use 320 original rotors from the following Kawasaki models.

ZX 7 '91-'03,ZX-9R NINJA '94-'97,ZX-9R NINJA '02-'03,ZX 1100 '93-'01,ZZR 1100 '93-'01,ZZR 1200 '02-'05,ZX-12 R '00-'03,VN 1500 MEAN STREAK '02-'03,VN 1600 MEAN STREAK '04.

Mods Required: None

Master Cylinder

**Info from DrRipper:

"FYI, 05 zx6 master cylinder bore is 16mm, 09 zx-14 radial 11/16" (17mm), 08 triumph daytona radial 3/4" (19mm). Daytona master has the banjo coming out more towards the back and obstruct the throttle cable slightly (rotate right side switch housing slightly to clear the banjo). ZX14 is better. daytona nipple (for reservoir) is from the side, 90degree upwards, while zx14 is from the top, 90degree pointing sideway. Those who are picky about reservoir placement for aesthetic reasons will want to consider these small issues."

Calipers
- 2001-2003 GSXR 600/750/1000 calipers
Mods Required: May require creative brake line routing or longer hoses

More info, courtesy Dynagrego:
SIX POT CALIPER from GSXR1000 K2! (longer hoses required)

OEM CALIPER.

:glassestiCOMPARE.

COMPARE AGAIN(BOTTOMS)

Compare pads.

Another setup, courtesy Dynagrego:

"Calipers from ZX10 2008-2010 is a direct swap when using forks from ZX6R.They are better than older radial calipers because they are using 2 pads instead of 4. I have also installed a pair of 320mm rotors and I can't believe how strong the front brake is now."

The parts you are going to need are:
1)Four long caliper bolts Μ10 Χ 70mm Χ 1.25 from yamaha R1 2004-2008.
2)Four common spacers for M10 bolts,2mm thick(photo).
3)Longer hoses.
Kawasaki also uses these calipers on the new 2011 ZX10. They must be good.

Wanted to add to the list.

Calipers I used on the 05 636 forks are from a 07 CBR1000rr.
Mods were to use a 5mm spacer(51497-MEL-D20). You have to machine down one side of these spacers. The pic shows what you have to do.

These calipers were cheaper than trying to find some of the zx14 types and they work very well. I don't have any good measuring devices to give you an actual number on distance between the caliper bolts, but like UglyMutt said, most radial calipers are the same. All the CBR calipers that I talked about should be interchangable. I had to use 5mm spacers on the 07 cbr1000rr calipers with my 05/06 zx6 forks. I don't know about the 08/09 calipers, but I am betting that they will need some too.

If you are ordering Brembo calipers, just tell them what forks you are putting them on and they will be able to make sure you get the right ones

Rear Sets

I saw someone with a set of modified aftermarket ZX10 rearsets on their bike once. If you know who it was have them post up here on how they did it...

GAUGES

2005-2006 ZX636 gauges are a direct bolt-on. Main difference is that the RPM range will be different and the 636 does NOT have a fuel gauge.

fr8pup · Feb 23, 2006

Is it just the '05 636 shock that doesn't directly bolt in or is it all of them from '03 to '05.

Eugene · Feb 23, 2006

I believe the '03-'04 bolts right in. As for the '05, you'll need to either mill out 1mm from the inside of the shock legs (which is what I did on mine) to get it to fit, or grind down the spacer which goes inside of the linkage, because the '05 shock legs are about 1.5mm closer together than the '03-'04 ones.

gauges

Any other gauges fit...636?

thanks

Compstall · Feb 25, 2006

I THINK the wiring's a tad different. I have no info to back this up, maybe someone else does.

9mil · Feb 25, 2006

Bump - Gauges anyone?

fr8pup · Mar 12, 2006

jeremy · Mar 15, 2006

on the shock issue, i believe 03-04 shocks are a better mod anyway, the spring rate was to stiff for the 636 as it shipped from the factory, just happens to work quite well with the added weight of the z, i'm pretty sure the 636 switched spring rates in 05, not 100% sure about 04, but i have an 03 636 shock and it bolted right up and i'm 200 lbs no gear, sag set up perfectly and static was good, indicating proper spring rate

Compstall · Mar 15, 2006

Thanks for the info.

I really want to buy some Marchesini wheels made for a ZX9r to put on my Z1000. However, I want to be 110% positive the zx9 setup will work. I've tried comparing the microfiche diagrams for the zx9 rear wheel (2000-2003) against the z1000 rear wheel. Many of the part numbers are the same, but some are different. One in particular is the axle. Is this just an issue of the zx9r axle being a different length? As long as it's the same diameter, it shouldn't be a problem, right?

Who has actually test fitted both front and rear zx9 wheels on a z1k?

fr8pup · Apr 12, 2006

jeremy,
do you know how much preload you have. I'm at the same weight and just bought an 03 636 shock. Also wondering what settings you used for compression and rebound dampening.

thanks

Check the bearing p/n's. If they are the same, then the axle diameter is the same. I think the spacers may be a little different. Remeber, when it comes to part numbers, a different finish, tolerance, etc could change a whole number. Look for the givens....

I thought people gave up on this so I let it go, but if people want to add some things I'll update the list.

I saw a pic recently of a Z1K with a tapered cone type air filter sticking out the side. I would like to know more about this one. Obviously that guy did away with the stock airbox.

I added a supercharger

How about the 2007 Z1000 gauges? any wiring differences? i would love to get the analog tach back.

Iam also interested in this too I really hate the LED tach on my Z1000.

Iam in the process of purchasing a new clutch and noticed that the OEM 98-03 ZX900 clutch plates have the same part numbers as the OEM 03-06 Z1000 clutch but Barnett only offers a carbon fiber clutch kit for the ZX900 which should also fit the 03-06 Z1000.

I don't know if the Barnett carbon fiber clutch plates would be a good choice for the Z1000 as far as around town drivability goes ?

try it and see!

INTHERED · Nov 8, 2007

Its kind of an expensive try it and see. Since even at a discount parts houses the tach/speedo is over $450. I have been looking at my part book and shop manual and I think that there may be a chance of it working. Can anyone provide a shop manual pdf file for the 2007 Z1000 so I can at least do a wiring diagram comparison and a visual check of the backside of both the gauges ? I might take the risk with some additional information !

INTHERED

kwick mick · Jul 24, 2007

the best thing to do is to compare the wiring diagrams.
on our older gauges they made the bar graph instead of a needle.
If the input is the same to the gauge there is no reason it shouldn't work.
How about 10 red led's lighting up for every 1000 rpm lol

exellent , very nice bike ..

dhudson8 · Aug 22, 2007

what is the easiest way to add a wider rear tire on the rear of my 03 z1000??

thanks alot

Compstall · Aug 22, 2007

The widest you can go on a stock swingarm is 200. From what I've read, the 200 size works better for aesthetics than performance. Most guys go down to a 180 for better performance.

roostin450 · Aug 22, 2007

does anybody know if a 04-05 rear zx10r shock bolts up to an 04 z1000, have done some searching and I can't find it. I should probably look harder though. Thanks.

RS117 · Aug 22, 2007

yes, it will bolt up witgh the lower seals and sleave from the 10.

UrbanFlatline · Aug 22, 2007

so if i can find a wide tire kit for a zx12 2002 that will work on my z?

idi · Oct 30, 2007

05-06 ZX6R REAR BRAKE ROTOR WILL FIT MY Z1K?

krok18 · Nov 6, 2007

D&D exhust Years

I was wondering if anyone ever figured out the years that the ZX9 D&D exhaust was that will bolt up to the Zed?

Thanks
