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."
Image



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.

about the dash swap. i checked an 07 and the conector is different so its not plug and play. however you could match wires to the corect pin on the 07 dash by comparing wiring diagrams. you would also have to check that imput signals are the same, ie resistance curves of the fuel guage and temp sender. speed, tach and warning lights should be ok.

if anyone wants to donate a dash ill do it and then post a how to with step by step and pix. ha ha, no seriously! :poke:

I think that connector mismatch is enough to keep me from trying the conversion. Unless you could obtain the mating connector off of the 2007 Z1000 wiring harness the conversion would wind up being a hack job. As far as the input signals being the same you can compare part numbers for all of the sensors which is doable. I would just like to see a wiring diagram from a 2007 Z1000 shop manual before I even considered the job. I would be willing to bet that a lot of the 2007 Z1000 electronics is the same as previous years but I ain't willing to bet $450 !

Update for exhaust:

2001 ZX9R header
Modification required: Collector hits rear shock, needs to be slash cut and flipped 180 degrees.
(This is a great mod to do)

I gave up on the idea of putting a 2007 tach/speedo on my 2003 but during the investigation I discovered that the 2007 Z1000 front sprocket is a 15 tooth unit. So for those of you who want to swap your original 16 tooth for a 15 tooth and would like to use OEM parts this part should work fine.

Hi,

I 've got a question, in the list posted in the first post of this thread it says that that all ZX10R rotors are interchangable with the Z1000 (2004 in my case)

I have bought a pair of ZX10R rotors, from a 2007 model. As shown in the picture

The question now is that these ZX10R rotors are completely flat and the rotors of my Z1000 are not flat, the centerpart of the rotor, where it is fitted on the wheel, is more inside the wheel than the braking part that goes through the caliper (don't know the exact words to explain it)

Does anyone here already tried to fit the ZX10R rotors on the Z1000 and how did you do that? Do i need some spacers ore something?

Thanks in advance :)

04- 07 anyways but I have read several posts about issue's with the initial run of 04 rims. The 04-05 front rim mounts differently than the 06-07 rim, different spacers and axle.
 
#69 ·
Wheel Conversion/swap for the Front says i can use a 1998-2002 ZX6 or a 2000-2002 ZX9 front wheel, can someone asure me that i will not need different spacers or axles?

FYI, ive got a rear ZX9 wheel with brake disc already and that was a straight swap no mods, no other parts, used same Z1K spacers and axles!

^^^^^

Below is an answer I found on another thread....

Let me save you some time. First off, your one can will definitely handle the "extra" exhaust. They don't make them that much different for single-sided exhausts, trust me. Secondly, don't bother with the ZX9 header-it will NOT work with the block on the GenIII (what you have) Z1000's. Though the displacement is the same at 953cc's, the configuration is different.

I think i have read that you can fit 2003 - 2006 dog bones to an 07 -08 bike ??
does this lift or lower the bike any 1 know how much
 
#73 ·
nobody ????
 
#74 ·
I haven't tried it personally, but I'm 99% sure they'll fit just fine.

I'm in the middle of a move right now, and since this thread is getting kinda long and hasn't been stickied I'd like to just post up a fresh version of this one once I get squared away here at home.

Man, this is the first time I've seen this thread. Awesome information, can't wait to check into some ZX9 wheels . . . Compstall we owe you :notworthy
Lets keep the list going, I don't have any new information but I can confirm that the 03-04 636 shock is a great mod!
 
#81 ·
Don't owe me nothin'. All the people of Riderforums are the contributors. :) I just got back to this thread for some updates - I'm sure I may be missing something so if y'all see something that needs to be added let me know.

I'm not able to update my original post, so I have to quote my last listing I have posted. So for those of you wondering, the MOST RECENT mod list posting is the most updated.

2005-2006 Zx636 gauges are a direct bolt on. Main difference is that that RPM range will be different and the 636 does NOT have a fuel gauge.
 
#99 ·
No man, they mount completely differently than the 636 brakes do. The Z is a radial mounted style caliper. and the 636 has floating disks and has opposed calipers.
