Item number: 190004027712 Current bid is $17,900 after 65 bids!!!!! Sweet merciful crap are those babies sought after. This particular one is a supremely mint example, but wow. Go get em out of your garages folks.
I have just ordered rebuild kits for the carbs. The kits come with four main jets, 90, 97.5, 102.5 & 105. The bike is dead stock, I am at sea level, what is the proper jet? I don't trust what is in the carb now. Suspect a previous owner had a pipe on the bike. I have been battling poor fuel...
Pick up my bike last night, after three weeks! Its like having acompletely new bike. What a difference it made replacing the intake boots and having the carbs sync'd. Tok a little longer cause the guy who was working on it ran a new fuel line and added a filter, well the way they placed the line...

I'm having some trouble getting the housing for the bearings off. I can loosen the four screws off, but I can't seem to pry off the cover for the housing. *edit* sorry, forgot the info on the bike, the bike is a '84 ZN700 LTD Shaft.
Finally got my 40 and 42.5 pilot jets in the mail today, the ones wiredgeorge suggested for my 1982 KZ650 with pod filters. Thanks again to him. Took off the carbs, replaced the jets, fired it up, and it ran great. It's nice when something actually works. After an evening ride, I took advantage...

Can anyone help. I'm the new owner of a 1983 kawasaki LTD 440, and I find that I frequently get neutral when shifting into 2nd second gear from first. I have tried been very firm with the shift, but it still happens. It does not occur all the time, usually when the bike has been standing for a...
I am cleaning house, or garage, err both. Im getting out of biking and moving on to new hobbies. Ive been starting to clean up the garage and I am ashamed of the stuff Ive tossed out already. To the WI guys, especially the Milwaukee guys, if you need anything SOON let me know. Im not pricey,...
Okay, I've had it with the look of my bike, I'm going to start modding some more. The next step is changing the bars. At this point I'm considering two options, drag bars and clubman bars. I'd like to hear the concensus of the peanut gallery on which they like better. Consider also that sometime...

Well, I have everything put back together finally and I just started having a small oil leak at the left side rubber plug under the valve cover. It is making the paint come off at that area so I guess I will replace the gasket and rubber plugs and touch up the paint when i am done. I was just...
I have a 1978 kz750 almost ready for new paint. The side plates were missing and there are several sets on ebay at reasonable prices but I noticed different ones for my year/size. I tried searching on google for pics or info but no luck. That is how I found this site. I have been reading posts and...

I got a 81 kz750, It had, what I thought was a oil leak from the pipes, but further inspection is was fuel. So it explaines the less than 10 mpg. Any Ideas what it is? A friend says that it may be the peatcock valve, not closing, and when the engine sits, gas sits in the combustion chamber,...
Hello, Can anyone tell me if a 1982 KZ1100 and a 1979 KZ1000 MKII share the same front end? I'm looking at a fork brace that fits the 82 and wondering if it would fit my 79. Thanks, Jim
Hey everyone, I wanted to see what you all thought about the value on my '83 KZ550 LTD. It is in prestine shape with everything original and about 15,000 miles. It's never been laid down or repaired. The original tank has the original paint and doesn't have any dents or scratches in it. The...
