MORIWAKI revival series part2: Kawasaki Z1 (ZⅡ) and FX750 One-piece

※The exhaust in the photo is prototype.

So, we started next revival project right away. This time is Z1 (ZⅡ/ FX750) system. Right now, we are testing the prototype. Just like Z400FX system, it is hand-bent with welding method from ‘70s. Having experience with Z400FX, development of this exhaust was rather smooth, but the “silencer” was the difficult part. If I was right, there were 2 different types of silencer with original Z1 One-piece back then. We made number of different silencers in order to reproduce exact exhaust sound. Those engineers who knew the sound of original one tuned their ears and looked for the single sound. Why so important? It’s because the sound of MORIWAKI Z was so unique.

Finally we got this prototype and installed it on MORIWAKI Z. Started the engine, listened the idle sound, then snapping the throttle… I closed my eyes and the exhaust sound just brought me back to my early days of MORIWAKI. It was like traveling back in time, nostalgia…

My role was to reproduce the sound and I was happy to be able to succeed it. Then I though, it wouldn’t be so hard to reproduce 30 some years old exhaust system with current up-to-date technology. But that is not what Kawasaki Z owners want. They want to have exact revival of the original one they knew from the time. I was sure about that when I heard the sound of our prototype, reproducing the sound that I long forgotten.

Untold story of Z400FX One piece exhaust development

※Click to enlarge the photo

・Untold story from a member who’s been working at MORIWAKI since when the original Z400FX one-piece exhaust was developed.

------------------------

1978 was the year that the first 8hrs was held and MORIWAKI Z-1 and Crosby’s names were noticed in the world. Following year, the masterpiece, Z400FX came out. MORIWAKI members fell in love with the bike and were eager to make an exhaust system. The new exhaust system must have style and performance that meet the beauty and potential of the bike. Heated discussion was continued every day. Foreseeing the coming noise restriction, our target was to have maximum of 99dB with high quality sound. Our development team couldn’t use the chassis-dyno during the day because it was occupied by Z-1 racing engine, so we had to do it during the night. After those nights, we found the right dimension of the system. Then, it took another week to make first proto system which made the best looking of the bike. I was the first one to take the bike. I will never forget the feeling I had, the sound I heard. Calm, gentle sound changed to beautiful singing sound as it was revving up.

The memory of the MORIWAKI member is now about to become your future. The Z400FX One-piece exhaust system is again! Using same tools, fixtures, materials, welding method… and of course, “sand-stuffed manually bent pipes.”

MORIWAKI’s craftsmanship is poured into the exhaust systems which will get exclusive serial numbers. What do you ask more???
