This was posted a while back, I think on the old EZ-Board, but since we've had some new folks, thought this little blast from the past was worthy of a repost...

Anyone with a Harley willing to try this to see if they can do it, too?

I'm not willing to do it to any of my vehicles.   I prefer my vehicles to last as long as possible with out any help breaking them.

WoW.  The real test now would be to split the cases and look for damage.  I'll bet that you would find some in there.

One thing to notice here is the mileage on the motor.  They took a higher mileage motor that was well worn in.  All the moving parts were "friendly" with each other and smooth.  No load was put on the motor which is another huge factor.  Still, it shows how good engineers have gotten with metallurgy, expansion rates, "smart" ignitions, etc.

Man when the freestyle stunt boys came to town, one of the yankie boys, after the round of the world championship had finished, tried to toast another kawasaki, zx9 I think it was. Layed it on it side, not a good thing by its self then pinned the throttle to the rev limiter, after at least 10 minutes the sucker till didnt blow, and in fact the track management team shut it down. in fear that it may catch fire and cause damage to the race track surface. So the rider picked it back up fired it back up and continued to do mono's and other great sunts. The last I seen of it was at Victorian Mototcycle wreckers, in pride of place, in the middle of the showroom floor, and yes it still runs. Years agao kawasaki was known for bullet proof machines, gee whiz maybe there is hope for the ZRX yet
