RMI-Kawasaki Z 750
Power punk
The Sex Pistols started a revolt in the music scene exactly 30 years ago. The British punk rockers showed
bare bums to the whole establishment. Her slogan: »No Future«. Your
Music: easy chords, straight bass lines, fast, hard drums. In addition, the voices are smoky and wicked. So
they sang about “Anarchy in the UK” or the record company EMI, which they first hired and then fired.
The Kawasaki will be that much of a stir Z 750 from the Krefeld tuning company RMI
hardly trigger. But at least the active naked bike already comes with it
from a bass-heavy voice. It grumbles and growls even deeper thanks to Leo Vince’s Evo II slip-on muffler. It has ABE and a pleasant sound. So that the four-cylinder gets more air, RMI boss Manfred Ilsanker has enlarged the inlet of the airbox after a long tinkering, K&N air filter installed and the filter housing with
provided an additional hole.
Throaty snorkeling is the result, but this modification is not registrable. The same applies to the »Power Commander« from Dynojet. Well, the Sex Pistols were already singing “I Fought the Law”. Did you mean the German TÜV? Because this is precisely the strength of RMI: using modified engine management maps to mobilize more power in the Z 750 and Z 1000. Practically across the entire speed spectrum, the 750 is more powerful than the series.
The revving engine spontaneously hangs on the gas. It knows upstairs
no more stopping and plays heavy drum rolls between 8000 rpm and the rev limiter, 117 instead of the original 108 hp on the clutch. This goes in
The middle class is down to punk, even if you don’t like the Kawa
first look. Ilsanker leaves the engine mechanics completely unchanged. As an ex-mechanic in long-distance races, reliability is the top priority for the 46-year-old, power in the long run.
Steel braided lines from LSL make the pressure point of the brakes crisper and the front double-piston floating calipers fully suitable for stopping. Less well
the too tight steering damper from LSL works. He leaves the cheeky 750 itself
Stagger in the softest setting up to 50 km / h, which causes unrest in tight corners. It’s a shame because the Bridgestone tires
BT 019 »E« and BT 012 »E« stick until the horizon is almost vertical.
Blue anodized, the almost 80 shines
Centimeter-wide superbike handlebars not just visually. With her you can
throw the 215-kilogram lead singer as handy as a bicycle in an inclined position.
Together with the easy back-
put footrests results in a fashion-
council combative sitting posture. The small mirrors are completely unsuitable, chic
the mini indicators.
The small pane from the Kawa range of accessories provides surprisingly effective protection. This is where the pillion seat cover comes from. The fine RMI paintwork is a real gem. The checkered flag decor over the tank and rear contrasts nicely with the polished rim horns. The matching Enuma chain with blue straps is only logical. And
Of course, individual (partial) conversions and refinements are always possible. Because of no future. tsr
