So 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?
The 99 1500 is factory rated for 65HP @ 5500 RPM. Top Speed of 110 MPH.
thank you sir...hated to have to make a whole separate thread for this measly question....
Glad I come help!
According 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.!
Thanks again...I didn't see it in there unless I looked over it.
Its there now.
Is 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!!
Never tried it but this kit been around for awhile; discontinued now, might still find one.
