How the XS treating you? What was the final vm32 jet and needle configuration you went with? Give me all the details. :) btw I got a ZRX1200. Man this thing is fun.

Hey DreadRock, Just checking back in. I want to get back into riding my XS500 but it's hard when my KZ650 runs so well. I want to put some VM32's on the XS so I am curious how you made out in the end. I would going to purchase this kit and the intake boots you used but wanted to know what...

Well done sir! Looks incredible! That headlight looks like it's floating, excellent! Tell me about those CR carbs. Did you get a chance to compare performance to the stock VM24s? If so, where did you feel the difference?

Agree with other suggestion. Don’t do it with engine in place. The nice thing about the KZ650 is that it’s really not that difficult to remove the head if you just wanted to paint that. I mean, yes you will need to unbolt valve cover, remove exhaust, lose cam chain tensioner, remove upper...

Created a great route from Philly to Victory Brewing Co in Downingtown. Used REVER to create the route and navigate. Fun Saturday. She's just 50 miles shy of her 1000 mile break-in. Runs flawlessly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Took off those ugly decals. Used a blow dryer to heat decal and an old plastic drivers license to peel it off without damaging the paint. Had to use Goo Gone to get the residue off. Thankfully no paint was harmed. Followed that by rubbing compound and polish finish to clean up the paint all...

Thanks guys. This spreadsheet filled out for the KZ650 gear ratio and my sprocket setup (17/42) outlines what it's capable of...as long as I got the horse power to get me there.

800 miles on the OD. Getting lots of riding in. A fresh paint job will come at the end of the season. Man I love this bike. Pics with Ton Up Philadelphia, and paint photoshop draft. Rally Green with KZ650C gold decals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

While part of me thinks it needs a fresh look, the other part of me is saying don't mess with the bike's ergonomics. It's a shame because the side covers are the only things that stand out as needing some attention.

I don't know about your state, but in Pennsylvania you need a light specifically for the license plate.

If you can post a video that would be super helpful in diagnosing.
