Still waiting on the damn oil seal. Gonna start cleaning out the tank tonight. May start fabbing the seat. Just ordered a leather stitching awl |
Ok. A bit of an update. Still waiting on the oil seal. Here is why
http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/100_3305.jpg Got the pin back in the crankshaft that seats in the backof the timing mechanism. It was sheared off. This is how it looked when I took the timing mech off http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/100_3303.jpg It took me the longest to drill out the old pin to make room for the new one. I started on my seat. Not sure if I'm gonna stick with this one or start over. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/100_3308.jpg Metal for the seat. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/100_3310.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/100_3311.jpg Camping foam http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/100_3312.jpg Here are tools I used to shape the seat http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/100_3315.jpg Waiting on the adhesive to set http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/100_3313.jpg Also worked on the cracked intake boots http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/100_3298.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/100_3297.jpg More to come...as soon as the oil seal gets here. |
Keep going
|
Just realized that I have no rectifier. I'll probably get a new one from Oregon Motorcycle Parts. They come highly recommended at the Kawasaki Twin Owners Forum. I'll let you know how it goes.

id say skip the filters and go with velocity stacks, and new rubbers(theyre cheap)
each time i built my kz, ebay and bikebandit were my friends have fun! whats u plannin on doin to the gs? |

As for the GS, not sure. I may just get it running and unload it. I figure I can get rid of it easier if it is running. Also, I've got a clean title. That should help. |
Update.... Tonight we cooked out. After, dad and I started tinkering. We got the new oil seal in, tming mechanism on, points plate back on. Then new oil filter, filled it with oil. Reinstalled the carbs, put the tank on, hooked up the fuel line and vacuum line.
Turned on the switch, hit the button, and.....NOTHING. About that time, dad and mom had to go, my daughter wanted to play wii, so we stopped. After some wii golf, bowling and boxing. Then some fairy tales and Spongebob book. I headed back out. Ok, maybe we didn't line up the timing mechanism correctly? Nope, nothing. Maybe it has a clutch swich? I took the clutch cover off. Everything looked fine. Just when I was about to go in for the night, I looked down. A lead from the starter relay was not connected. It matched the color of the wire beside it with the female connector. So WTF? it can't hurt. I plugged it in and...... SHE IS RUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So this means that the fun will now begin. Tomorrow, my wife, daughter and I leave for Gatlinburg for a few days. After that, Ms. KZ has an appointment with the sawzall. Stay tuned........ |
Update...
What a night. Last night I began the teardown. Getting her naked and left with a pile of parts. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/100_3344.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/100_3345.jpg Dropped her to 7" and leveled her up with some lumber http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/100_3349.jpg Swingarm off. Ready to SAWWWWWWWW http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/100_3350.jpg The aftermath http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/100_3351.jpg Swingarm back on http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/100_3352.jpg Sat the tank back on to look at something that has been bothering me.... http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/100_3354.jpg If I use the stock tank (which I plan on), there is not going to be enough room for my seat and the battery box and electrical box at stock length. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/100_3355.jpg So I've decided to stretch it some. I've got my tubing coming on Monday. I plan on making my jig to keep the alignment. (I was planning on using the swingarm). But I really think I will like it better with a stretch. It will just take a little more work. Stay tuned |
