Cheers! As for the manual I've got a complicated answer for you. In my searches the most common copy I found is a kz250 (A & B?) + 305 twin. This manual is no good for the singles. I can't comment on the 250D but what I did use due to similarity was manuals for the kz200. There were tiny...

Below is a list of parts I bought and used for this project in $AUD. The list is divided into mechanical, electrical and painting. Some parts are left over, some are consumables and this list does not include the many tools I bought to perform the various tasks which would approximately add...

So here it is, the final product below. There are some adjustments to be made with the carburetor and a new neutral switch needs to be installed but more on that later. I'm quite proud of the end result as my first rebuild. It's unrefined and rough in a few places but it polished up nicely...

Stages 4 and 5 of the paint work are now complete. the blue candy pearl turned out a lot lighter than I had hoped. I think this is due to not only its shade but also spraying silver too thickly. I should have thinned it more and sprayed lightly, with the summer here i think the paint flashes too...

In between spraying I've begun the task of tuning the carb. It's a Keihin pw 26, stock jets include pilot #35, main #105. I have a spare #38 and a #120 to trial with. I'll be the first to admit I've got little experience but I've been doing my research and done a lot of trial and error. Knowing...

Now the final stages of completing the build are at hand. I've spent time on lots of small jobs i.e dremeling out a mount point for the voltmeter for external display on underseat electrics tray, fabricating rear mount point for seat and torquing nuts to name a few. I have still to make a rear...

Very interesting you mention this! As shown in the photos above when i pulled the camshaft sprocket cover off it showed what looked like advanced cam timing, as previously mentioned I reset the sprocket to Top as per manual (see photo below) however, all of this is wrong or at least deceiving...

I've had some success with cheap unsalted peanut butter. I used it on parts of my car that use black porous looking plastic such as rear view mirror covers, window frames, inside plastic door hamdles, bumpers. I think the oil in peanut butter is compatible in some way.

Howdy all, it's been a busy time, merry Xmas and HNY! I've been chasing my tail trying to fix the idle issue, 11 days judging by the last time I posted and this is what happened. Compression - 145psi +, good spark, battery recharged showing 12.8v, Carb jets set to spec, 91 fuel in the bowl...

So another challenge has presented itself. Today I filled the engine with oil, attached the carb and turned it over. Turn over it can but won't idle. Pulled the carb out and gave it another good scrub. The bike still turns over and putts away but as soon as i take my finger off the starter, the...

Totally with you on this, If I was king for a day I'd have LED's as a standard feature on all bikes. They look good (if tastefully done) and they help with safety. I've got a plastic fantastic KLE650 with the full LED kit + remote. I'd sneak a photo of it on here but it's off topic. Below...

Reposting - Ok so I found and resolved the issue! After discussions with some local electric moto wizards (picture if you will, long beards waving around soldering irons) I was given a few options involving transistors or alternatively (the path I took) instead of running everything in series, I...

thanks heaps for the feedback fellas, it means a lot to me, I'd be lost with out it! So I've made some progress but no resolution yet. Yes definitely there's some issues with earthing but have not yet pin-pointed it. Attached is the original wiring diagram for the KZ250c(hard to find!)...

Hey folks this is a repost from my build thread but i thought it might be useful to repost it here. I have an indicator problem. Rear indicators working fine. Front indicators not so much. So I have an electric riddle which I could use some help with. Rear indicator voltage output is a healthy...

OK so all electrics are done! .... almost. I have an indicator problem. Rear indicators working fine. Front indicators not so much. So I have an electric riddle which I could use some help with. Rear indicator voltage output is a healthy 12.54v Front voltage Right side is 10.30v steady. Front...

hahah I'm kicking myself for not thinking of that! I guess it shines a light on my lack of experience but lucky for me I'm in the right place 8) These are great ideas, the shrink wrap is quick and easy, the chrome tube is brilliant, I just have to find a matching size of 36mm / 1.4 inch dia. I...

Did more work on the bike, not so much free time around this time of year with work/family/friends/life but I'm hoping to plow through and hopefully get this project done by mid January. Putting the bike back together has proven not so hard especially with the help of all the photos I took...

maybe on top of the crank case under the carb. Can you take a photo of the Crank case both sides and post it in reply? might be able to spot it.

I'm drooling at that tank! Pure eye candy! The LTD is a real sign of the times with the Bosozoku lane split handle bars. slight differences in the crank case and looks like a smaller front drum brake.
