I alway thought bigger motor made more power earlier and needed less RPM's to reach peak. The zx12 rev's less than a zx6.
Even if you could do this would the benefit justify the risk?

They do but...the ZX12s don't fall off of Max-power much at 11.6...
Example...A 1361 we built has Max-210HP and 208+ at the 11.6 limiter...So it wouldn't hurt to raise the limit a bit

One of the best traits that Kawasaki engines have had for years has been the ability to make power all the way to the rev limiter. It just comes down to longevity and how comfortable you are pushing the engine closer or over the edge!

Zhooligan, why don't you READ what is written and stop ASSuming!!! Once again, "as you said" you are commenting after half reading. I said that the motor "uses" more oil and THEN possibly got starved. I gave him or you "his pit monkey" the benefit of "initially" having oil in the bike.
Now, because i just haven't taken the time to go back and look at the pictures of the crank, and Mike did, then I would be inclined to believe Mike's comment about a loose rod bolt possibly. Either way that is not a Kawasaki oil system design problem!!! Maybe I don't know more than you, but everyone can read exactly what you do know!!! hahahaha
I noticed that Swft is quiet now......hmmmm Lots of post do not mean anything as far a knowledge is concerned.
Oh, Zhooligan,,,,,,,information that is not correct or false is a lie!!! I am not implying that Malevance is involved, you ASSumed that from me too.

Kevin, is there an oil system design problem on the zx12?! Don't ride the fence like you normally do either......This is a technical mechanics question, don't give me a political answer..............YES or NO?!?!

PLEASE STOP this nonsense!!!
There is no "problem". Just keep the EFFING oil level where it belongs and you'll have no problems anywhere but POSSIBLY on the dragstrip. IF you are running a serious-ass drag setup with a big or sticky tire and BIG power you can unport the pump with g-loads at the launch. The fix for this is an accumulator or a dry sump, both of which have been (and are) used on the Muzzy drag bikes. As far as high speed runs- how's this: a 5 mile run at Bonneville takes about a minute and a half. Sit in your chair there and stare at your watch for a minute and a half. That's how long the thing is at 11 grand. During the week you might do that 20 times if you're lucky.
Stock rods, stock bearings, stock pump, Motul oil- No problem.

No Z, I think he means Dirty Pete.
Not to take anything away for either of those guys, cause Im sure they are competant riders, but 170 with your knee of is hard to swallow on a street bike.
One example would be the Honda Test Oval. It has a 2 mile turn and Ive heard folks going easy through the turn at 150-170. Agressively putting the bike or knee near the ground is another story.
Try it on an open highway if you have an area. The difference between 100 and 150 is crazy.

Both the Seattle and Spokane tracks here in the Northwest have a first turn that if you have the bike and balls for it you can take the turn at 170. That said they are not knee dragging 170 mile an hour turns. I can't imagine the tire technology it would take to allow you to get leaned over severely enough to drag a knee at 170 and not end up in a death inflicting highside. We have a number of turns that your exit speeds are in excess of a hundred, and in some cases the bike is running on or near the limiter in 2nd or 3rd gear for a long time while dragging your knee, fairing parts etc. At Spokane the final turn before coming onto the straightaway is a fairly long and somewhat tight lefthander, the bike is leaned way over, you are hanging way off (it is a comfortable and fun turn to do this) the bike as you reach the exit you dial on the power and upshift. The high powered bikes like the 12, 1000s etc. go from a pretty extreme lean angle to an instant wheelie. Depending on whether your playing or racing determines how long the wheelie lasts!
But I am still looking for that honest to god 170 mile an hour sweeper that you can just lay it over and keep it there!

At Talledega like Daytona the bikr and rider depend on the banking, stay tucked and reasonably centered. The suspension is litterally crushed by the G's. The tires for the 200 are hard as bowling balls almost so they will hold up. Scarey in it's own way but not a 170 mile an hour knee draggin sweeper! Vincent can probably add to the description on Daytona.

Sounds like you need to call the nearest bike racing club to Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium. That last section before the "bus stop" has gotta be one of the hairest lefties I've ever seen...

Zhool, thats what Im talking about. No way in hell someone is hanging off at 170. Just cant see it. Daytona is not really knee dragging territory because of the banking. Leaned over..yes, but not all the way over. Id say the fastest the pros go through the little horseshoe is 150. Even then, their bikes dance and wiggle like crazy.
I always sit near Turn 1...its fun to watch racers try to slow from 180mph speeds and miss the apex. Makes for exciting spectating.
