I'm certainly no expert on carb syncing but I've heard that if different cylinders are getting different amounts of mixture some are going to run while others...
Hi Bill, I installed a pingle inline fuel cutoff today. It does seem to help to use the pingle to cut the flow and let the bike run the carbs out of fuel. I...
The throttles are nearly the same if it is corrrect. You have a clue. If the adjusters you adjust for syncing the carbs are too far in they bind some. Make...
I believe that I'm finally done with my KZ1300. I've been fiddling with it for three years. My goal was an Every Day Capable Six. I kind of made the task more...
Hi Larry, I bought one but, never installed it. The thought occured to me that I might consider that the stumble is the engine starving for fuel. What do you...
opinion: If it stumbles at idle and runs great at above 3000 rpm I am betting it is rich. Of course the no idle down makes me think lean. If lean it is blocked...
Hey Larry, I'm probably going to install the vaccum pump this week. I am using the two existing vacuum hoses (from the air/fuel recycling thing) to power my...
Overseas shipping is much more than in the states, but it is a fairly small, light box and probably about $25 - $35 after looking at the rates on the USPS...
Hi Vance, That's the stock seat. It has some cat claw damage from being in storage but I have a really good replacement should it ever start tearing. Bill...

Hey Guys, I am trying to think of a good spot to mount the vaccum fuel pump. I found a spot next to the airbox where the electric fuel cutoff used to be but, I...
Hi Larry, I thought of that too. I was concerned that it would be too far away from the vacuum source. Hey if it works for you then it will work for me. Did...
Over. I ran from the petcock around the top side of the 3 carbs into the tray area. put the fuel pump there and then over the top of the carbs into the inlet....

I'm caged and flying to OKC. Going to be stuck downtown. Yeah, I have noticed that there are a lot of riders in OKC. Back when I was shopping for my KZ I...
The saga continues. Based on everyones advice, I have re cleaned the carbs and adjusted the floats. The bike runs great at all rpm(a slight stumble off of...
Steve Garner, May well be onto something! put your finger onto each of the choke plungers, in turn, and give em a wiggle and push. If any of them moves even a...
I recently decided to give up and admit that the fork seals were leaking. On other bikes, I had previously successfully used an impact driver to loosen and...
