Even so, Kawasaki could justifiably be proud of having made the most impressive two wheeler, though it proved a bit over the top for Europe, which only gave a half-hearted welcome to this very efficient(in terms of sheer performance) six-cylinder, which seemed too heavy and insufficiently sporting. In America, too, early enthusiasm faded away and the KZ1300 failed to make its mark, for the US market seems indissolubly wedded to the big [[V-twin]]. The Z1300 was produced until 1989, where it had gained among other improvements, digital fuel injection and a second 200 watt alternator. [[Don Vesco]]'s World Speed record streamliner was propelled by two turbo charged KZ1300 motors. | Even so, Kawasaki could justifiably be proud of having made the most impressive two wheeler, though it proved a bit over the top for Europe, which only gave a half-hearted welcome to this very efficient(in terms of sheer performance) six-cylinder, which seemed too heavy and insufficiently sporting.

==Engine== | |||
The engine was a [[liquid cooled]] in-line six, four-stroke. A 62.0mm [[bore]] x 71.0mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 1285.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a double overhead cams/twin [[cam]] (dohc). | |||
==Drive== | |||
The bike has a 5-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the Wet, multi disc. | |||
==Chassis== | |||
It came with a 100/90-18 front [[tire]] and a 130/90-17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via dual disc in the front and a single disc in the rear. The front suspension was a Telescopic forks while the rear was equipped with a Dual shocks preload adjustable. The Z1300 DFI was fitted with a 7.13 Gallon (27.00 Liters) fuel tank. | |||
