Kawasaki ZG1200 Voyager XII Reviews
2002 kawasaki zg1200 voyager xii from canada.
Best bang for the money
General maintenance.
General Comments:
These old school bikes are bulletproof. Lots of power for 2up, awesomeness on fuel. Nobody wants them for some unknown reason. My wife and I have great pleasure trips, day trips on our 2002. Lots of trunk space and extra in the two saddle bags. 58+mpg. No computer or fuel injection. Great highway bike but no trail bike. Insurance is less as well for a 1200 cc.
You can pick these bikes up for less than $3,000.00 and at the end of the day have a lot of fun and money to spare.

1999 Kawasaki ZG1200 Voyager XII from United States of America
I have upgraded the suspension to progressive springs. I haven’t had any issues other than normal maintenance, doesn’t vibrate apart!!
My 99 Voyager is very lightweight and easy to handle. I don’t have tighten things up after riding, it does freeway speeds with ease.
Stereos on these always fail, so it’s not a big deal.
In town I can get over 200 miles from a tank of fuel. I had a 2007 Ultra Classic and I preferred riding this. I like the speed and power and being 65 y.o. It’s lightweight and easy to handle, I got it for $1900. A great bike for the money $$.

I have 2002 Kawasaki Voyager XII, been looking online, would you know what the steps are for the removal of spark plugs? It looks like the coils are in the way, which I'd like to replace too, with aftermarket, but plugs first to see if it's got a slight misfire. I want use NGK Iridium, not sure yet what's in there, but there are access issues.
2001 Kawasaki ZG1200 Voyager XII from United States of America
Comfortable
Bought this motorcycle cheap, and intended to only keep it for a year, and use it for three trips to Mexico, from California. I've now owned it for 18 months, only did one trip to Mexico. For the last 6 months, I've been using the bike as a full time commuter. The first year of ownership no problems. When I got to the one year mark, is when I began having problems. The oil gasket cracked, and I ended up getting oil in the water pump as well. 2 months after that, the clutch failed. Every plate needed to be replaced. The repairs are costly. Bike is running good now, I'm hoping all of this is out of the way, and I won't have any future problems.
The bike is very comfortable, and a lot more affordable than a Honda Gold Wing, of the same age. The girlfriend is very comfortable on the back, there's plenty of luggage space.
I think the major issue with this bike, is that dealerships here in America, will not service a bike that is over 15 years old. I had to find an independent mechanic that was willing to repair it. Not many of them wanted to touch it as well. Also hard to find parts for this bike as well.
As time goes on, and if there are no other major repairs, I would be happy to give better grades.

The Voyager uses an updated version of the original six-cylinder 1300 engine, and the engineers modified it well. The '84 ZN features new pistons with a squish-shaped crown. The new pistons still yield a 9.3:1 compression ratio, and promote quick flame-front travel so well that even with its fairly high compression ratio the 1300 burns any ...
