I see that my Mikuni RS36 kit comes with a gigantic crank vent hose to be installed along the frame and out behind the rear wheel. I was thinking of using a crank vent breather filter like this: Will this do, or do i need to route the big ass hose instead? I appreciate any views on this, as...

I know a couple of places to put it, but where do I stick it on the Mikuni RS36? Are they supposed to go on where the vacuum end caps are on the carbs? Tommyboy Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk

This might be a question that might has been answered before, but here goes. I am making a new wiring harness for my cafe project and I am wondering why the original schematics have so many common ground point connected through long wires. For me it would seem easier to just mount many of the...

I'm a little new to this, so bear with me. I have a 1983 KZ1000R2 and I'm taking apart the engine in order to have it media blasted and repainted. As I have dismounted the swingarm etc. I am having trouble locking the gears. I have searched the net and looked through my Clymer and found that...

I have been adapting some new universal DCC rear sets on my '83 KZ1000R and I am working on the linkage. I was thinking of using the stock brake pedal cutting it shorter and drilling a hole in it to mount the linkage. The only trouble is that the steel is so hard I am not able to drill the...

I have a stock Kerker exhaust for a KZ1000R (1983) and looking to change the baffle inside the muffler to get some more sound. I have removed the rear part of the exhaust and I am trying to pull out the stock baffle to change it with a 2" baffle from Dynoman, but it's stuck. I've tried spraying...
