- Welcome Everyone!
In this video, we turn this 1982 Kawasaki KZ650 CSR into a Desert Destroying Scrambler! This bike is fitted with a GT15 turbo in Draw-Thru Configuration with an HSR42 Carburetor with an adjustable power jet.
To be clear, the final tuning portion took a full week of tinkering. Just know that there's a LOT of work that goes on behind the scenes and that is not shown on camera. Tuning a Turbocharged Motorcycle is a LOT of work, which is why I made a complete how-to video for Turbocharging that's on my Patreon.
In addition to the complete how-to video for Turbocharging, we have another 11 Videos ranging from how-to wire from scratch, to Cable Modifications, Making a seat and more. Additionally, if you aren't interested in how-to content but just want to show some support, you can join the lower tier which also has behind-the-scenes content, dedicated videos, Polls for design input on the bikes and more!

Thank you! - Zábava
killer build jimmy. welds on god level, and i’m stealing that chain+brake rod idea 😂.
and hey new watchers, JOIN OUR PATREON!
Thanks Jake, though I'm wondering how long it's going to take to find a "tHaT's gOtTa bE DaNgEroUs" comment hehe
You're skills make those tv chopper builders look weak!
Thanks! You're making me blush 😆
I love that sound! So aggressive. Very nice build.
Well.... I am old enough to recall the Z650 and a part of me thinks this is an act of sacrilege.
But a part of me thinks this is the most wonderful use of time, tools and motorcycle parts that I've seen for a long time.
What an excellent project!
Chapeau!
My man this bike is nothing short of a masterpiece! I used to be obsessed with watching "The Workshop"'s videos on turboing a bike and you make it look so easy! Amazing work 👏
Thanks Nathan. Though I will say even for me, it's not as easy as I make it look. There's some frustrating times in the garage without a doubt. Cheers!
My hats off to you. I’ve restored many vintage motorcycles but I have NEVER seen builds like yours. You are truly amazing
Another amazing build........You turn old stock "meh" motorcycles into pretty fricken cool motorcycles.
Thanks Michael!
When you finally get a band saw: "I'm cutting everything with this"
For real, so much less noisy and messy than a cutoff wheel. So glad to be past that. 👍
I love the design, with the scrambler looks, the shiny deposit, the exhaust... but what I love the most is the sound, is wild. This bike is on another level. I see so much improvement in many details. Bravo.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Loved those tinted welding shots - that was really cool! Another killer build!
Thanks Mike!
That exhaust manifold is a work of art mate. If Tracy Emin's poxy bed got in the Tate this should be in the bleeding Louvre.
Kámo, fakt se toho nebojíš! Velkej respekt!!!
this guy is on another level
Thanks, I appreciate comments like this very much.
I’ve learned so much just watching thank you …
Brilliant build man!
Bro is absolutely GOATed. Fantastic work as usual bro!
Thanks my man
This may be the most MadMax build yet! Love it man!
Thanks my man
amazing. Well done 👏 luv watching these vids
Oh fresh off the press!! Great job and I must say that Your welds have came along ways my friend!! I dig that bike You put together! 👍🤙✌️
Thanks Gary, this one was more work than I anticipated but the finished build made it worth it. 👍
@@DoctorMotorcycle yeah bike goes great!! 👌 🤙✌️
You’re always boosting reasons for engagement in the clutch
If you're referring to the clutch on the bike, it has an APE racing clutch and Heavy springs.
@@DoctorMotorcycle i was making a joke about BOOST, CZcams engagement, and your videos coming in clutch (for me as a viewer) and as someone who wants to turbo a carb’d bike haha
@@wvuvino21 Ahh I see, the classic Pun.
OMFG. What a beautiful beast.
Thanks Jose!
Awesome. Great skills fab and video.
Thanks my man!
Another masterpiece ❤❤
Man, these scramblers look beautiful. I want to turn a Gladius into one as my first bike, but I'm mechanically challenged, and my bank account tells me "ain't gonna happen." Haha
Great bike as always!
Glad you like it!
elle est tout simplement magnifique . wonderful
coming from a fellow welder and builder, GREAT JOB BRO!
Thanks John!
Dude this video was a Banger! Cheers 🍻
Thanks! Wish I would've made the riding footage a little longer but it had been so long since the last upload. Cheers!
Awesome upgrades great video
Nick! Thanks my man.
Good video
Therapeutic watching these videos and the pure masterpiece these bikes become!
Thanks Wes, I appreciate it!
Good and. Amazing job
Ingegneria fantastica 👍👍👍👍
A 3.4 40-80mph time puts this bike only 2/10th's off a GTR and 3/10th's off a Hellcat. I think on 15psi of boost this bike would be able to match the 3.1 40-80mph of a hellcat. Check out the 40-80mph list to see how this bike compares! www.reddit.com/r/cars/comments/k17y8b/large_compilation_of_4080_mph_acceleration_times/
Also - *These full build videos are not all encompassing of the work performed. There was/is a TON of work done off camera, especially with regards to small details like cable routing, wire management, jetting, and all the small little details that can take weeks to get sorted to have a solid, dependable ride. The time between shooting the last shot in the garage and having a done, ready to ride bike is usually 2-3 weeks. The wiring harness is removed and completely loomed, there's no exposed wires, and the bike is road tuned with a wideband 02 sensor before moving on to the final ride shots. This is 2.5 months of work condensed into 20 minutes. These videos are very, very abbreviated 👍
You REALLY should round those edges you stick the wiring through. 100% sure, they will result in grawed wires pretty fast. Woring is one of the weakest links in DIY bikes. And "nobody" can figure it out thanks to lack of tech sheets or skills.
@@CONEHEADDKthe wires are really only a problem if you go hill climbing…. oh wait 😂
@@CONEHEADDK I did deburr it, I got it on camera too, but all you see is my hand. Sometimes things are a PITA to get on camera and the shot is junk, you'd know that if you've ever tried to record yourself working on something. I wrapped it with wiring harness tape and pushed it in the bar so there's no exposed wiring as well. Obviously, there's many things I've done on these builds that aren't on camera. I re-wired the whole bike, yet there's in total probably 30 seconds worth of wiring in this video. The jetting portion took over a week to get right, it wasn't shown in the video at all. I daily ride my bikes, I put 12k miles on my sportster since I buillt it, zero electrical issues. This isn't my first rodeo.
Thank you for reminding me why I need to put my "*this video doesn't even show 30% of the work performed" disclaimer pinned in the comment section.
@@DoctorMotorcycle I have zero recording experiences to bid in with. I "just" have close to 50 years of reparing and making all kinds of things, and know a few of the things, that often go wrong. The number of bikes I could have bought cheap, if I had known about wiring as "a kid" - before any help was to be found - pains me to think of. Seeing is believing, so when I didn't see it (the bits I had the sound on, had no speech, and I often listen to "something brainy" while watching "meditational" like fx yours of fly fishing or tying at the same time) I didn't expect it to have happened. Also explains the "instant carburator montage"..
Super mechanic
i like the build and everything but the pipes connections🤔🤔 thou it sounds great
Two tracks fear this man
Wonderful work, but I can't help thinking of how hot that exhaust must be!
The trick is to ride it so hard the wastegate is always open 😂 then the rest of it won’t get hot
It's warm, that's what the heatshields and wrap are for though.
Bout time! Lol. Been waiting for this!
Thanks my man, it was a long time coming for sure. Still wish I could've had more content for the end of the video but it's just been so long since the last upload, I couldn't delay it any more. Cheers!
Cooool
Bro everything you build is a masterpiece awesome don’t know what else to say I want to lottery I want to buy rebuy can you build and then I have to come up for something else for you to build too awesome .
I can no longer see any KZ in there. I have an ‘82 KZ1000LTD because of its CCs…not its looks. nice work again, with this one, Dude.
Wow
Its like a combonation of a hoodlum dirt bike and a highway man crusier.
Let's go
10:48 which component is it? How does it function?
This the Perfect Scrambler !!🎉
It's the wastegate, it controls the boost level.
its reminds me of drifter bike from Days Gone
👍
Thats one awesome looking bike!!!!!!! what tires are those? love the polished tank. and the boost..... oh my!
Kenda big block out back, front is a Kenda too but I can't remember which one. It's DOT legal though. Cheers!
It was cool to begin with.
For sure, here's the original build video of the bike. czcams.com/video/lsRjupN8daM/video.html
@@DoctorMotorcycle Thank you for sharing.
@@DoctorMotorcycle That was a lot of fabrication, and here I assumed it was mainly a stock model.
getting you a box of markers fyi
bwahaha I knew someone was going to mention it. I was almost done with fab and didn't feel like going up and grabbing another set
The weld seams clearly show that being a welder is an independent profession in itself. Locksmiths and mechanics simply cannot weld (nicely).
what tires are you using in this and where did you find them ? i have tried to find wide offroad tires in my scrambler transalp build, but no luck.. really nice build you have in here !!
Thanks, they're both Kenda's, the rear is a Big Block, not sure what the front is but it is DOT leagal. Rear is a 16 front is a 19
Looks amazing! Won’t the tank rust?
Arizona is a Very Dry state so it's not really an issue, and I've notice as long as you keep up with keeping it clean/wiped off once every few weeks w/terry cloth, it's not an issue. Surprisingly it doesn't flash rust when you get water on it like it does when it's raw steel, though I can't say as to why. It might have something to do with the polishing compound.
@@DoctorMotorcycle I love the look of it with no finish. I may have to strip my tank. It’s moist where I live so I may have to clear coat it
😍😈🤘
Please help. I'm on a budget but I love cafe racers and scramblers I'm currently looking at xj650s ans 750s... if anyone could drop a link or a parts list to a link I fell in love w his xj650 build the one w the silver tank....
How to become begginer of this kind of builds, do anyone have guide for dummies for this activity topic?
I have almost a dozen how-to videos on my patreon, and I can help you take on your first build over there as well. www.patreon.com/doctormotorcycle
🖒🖒🖒🖒
What do you think of Kamen Rider? It's a Japanese superhero franchise where the main character rides a bike (most of the time)
It would also be cool if you decided to build a bike from Kamen Rider
for example the Battle Hopper from Black Sun or the Cyclone from The First
Never heard of this until now, the black hopper made me chuckle a bit, didn't expect to see a preying mantis motorcycle.
@@DoctorMotorcycle it's actually a grasshopper, but yeah, the one from the original series is kinda funny but the one from the black sun reboot is cool
Bro where are you from and do you need an apprentice or extra camera man or anything?
Love the build! Not sure about the exhaust! My fat leg and and ass would be burnt to a crisp!
The wrap and heat shield bring it down to very tolerable levels. I'm going to add one more section of wrap and it will be good to go.
@@DoctorMotorcycle Nice! Great job man!
I would definitely have a hard time not buying a bike like this
It's going to be for sale soon, and I'm tossing around the idea of going through e-bay, so if you're in the lower 48, you could snag it. Send me an e-mail via my contact form on my website if you want to be contacted when it's ready to sell. www.doctor-motorcycle.com
Have you ever turbo charged a two stroke carb engine?
Negative, I was under the impression it either couldn't be done and/or was very difficult to boost a 2-stroke.
make a turbocharger in a moped 50ccm.
Please I must see that.
Can you pleas turbo charge a interceptor vf750f 83 honda
If someone had one and wanted one built I would, but I'm not a Honda guy. Hit me up through my website if you're interested in a quote.
Looks cool. But my god that is gonna be hot as hell under the thigh…..
WHY remove suspension on a tracky thing? :S
Oh - nothing... :D
turbo it boring)
