The [[Rotary Disc Valve|rotary disc valve]] was modified to the specs of the famous and mysterious '''[[Kawasaki G31M|Kawasaki G31M Centurian]]'''.

I took delivery of the first Kawasaki G5 delivered to Palm Beach County, Florida at [http://iamonia.bravehost.com/junomc Juno Motorcycle Center], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juno_Beach%2C_Florida Juno Beach, Florida].

[[Pirelli]] [[knobby tire]]s replaced the universal tire. The rotary disc valve was cut to give an opening with the same degree of that of the '''[[Kawasaki G31M|Kawasaki G31M Centurian]]'''. Estimated horsepower after modification '''14-15 HP''' @ 8000-9000 RPM. | ||
