- April 12, 2010, 22:41:34 PMIs there anyone around that has looked at beefing up the internals of a 1500?? I'm wanting to shave heads and possibly bore...any aftermarket support for oversize pistons/rods etc?? Any suggestions on do's n don'ts, cylinder wall thickness etc?? I'm a mechanical engineer by trade, so I'm confident in my abilities and knowledge, just never opened up a 1500, and was wondering if anyone's blazed that trail yet. Thanks!!

- April 07, 2010, 16:13:27 PMAccording to Kawasaki (2002):
64PS @ 4700rpm or 63.12hp @ 4700rpm
Torque: 83.1 ft-lb @ 2800 rpm
This obviously changes based upon your mods.
And, I am adding the info to the specs. Thought it was already there.!

- April 06, 2010, 17:12:22 PMSo I double checked on the 1500 specifications page and couldn't find my answer there and I also looked around at the thread history and just can't seem to find out how much horsepower our "toys" put out...can anyone help?
