  12. 1981 KZ 750 LTD Clutch Cable Routing

    Replacing the clutch cable on my 1981 KZ 750 LTD. Question, does the cable from the clutch lever go "inside" the fork or on the "outside" of the fork. The old one was on the outside but have not seen any pics of it installed that way. What do you say...inside or outside.

  13. 1984 GPz1100-A2 DFI FPR?

    Before buying an adjustable FPR, I better understand how they work first, and what the role is of the vacuum signal. Does the fuel pressure delivered to the injectors increase with load? Need I get a replacement FPR that uses a vacuum signal? Thanks,
