    1983 KZ 550 Cafe issue

    Rebuilt the carbs before it started running bad then I rebuilt them again thinking something got through the fuel filter causing it to run bad; however that was not the case

    1983 KZ 550 Cafe issue

    it's a direct line to the carbs and I know it is getting plenty of gas. So I know fuel starvation isn't the problem it just runs similar to that :-\

    GPZ 550 project

    Due to work schedule and Ohio's fantastic weather, I have not been able to go any further on the bike. However picked up a set of these nasty GSXR forks to change up the front end.

    Well I did some revision on the sketch as I still wasn't happy with where it was going. Here is the final sketch but I am probably going to change the tailpiece to more sleaker look. I'll be starting next week after I get back from vacation.

    Luckily working with family friend who does fabrication and welding so their won't be much of a problem with any fab work that needs to be done. Just wanted to do a updated twist on an 80's bike. Not a fan at all with CV carbs, regardless they have been giving me problems and rather go with the...

    GPZ 550 project

    Started tearing down the bike today. Was trying to figure out why the bike wasn't firing. I was getting good compression in all four cylinders, spark from both coils and it was turning over with ease. Took the top end off and don't see any signs of scaring from the pistons or anything out of the...
