First bike, kawasaki kz650 Cafe project (FINISHED)

[cyclhed]

Great job on the 650! It turned out looking great. I like the color. It used to look like my 1000s' little brother...

Great looking 650! I always love pics of a finished bike with owners riding it! I F^&%$in love my 650, the power surprises me all the time! Any advice with the knee dents now that you've done em? I'd like to get a salvaged tank and try it.

Saw your bike on reddit. Looking good, man.

 

[sbruton]

Kick Ass man! Glad to see you're enjoying your hard work!

Maybe I missed it...but what are you running for jets with the pods and 4-1 (which looks fantastic by the way) Great build man.

Yeah I want to know the jets too i have a KZ550, on the z1 site I can only find jets for mikuni carbs. Are those the one to be used on kawasaki motors?

 

[MotorbikeBruno]

If you've got a 550, you've got the "dreaded" Taikei carbs. The pilots have NO replacements of any sort. Mikuni main jets will work, but I can't remember the whole deal. Check this website here for more info.

Still want to hear what you are running on that KZ650.

I've been trying to remember what size I used. I'm almost positive I've got 105's. I was going to go with the dynaflow kit from Z1 but I talked to them and the recommended just 105s for my application, since I wasn't looking for race power.

 

[MotorbikeBruno]

ok, yeah, I've got 110's in mine with 17.5 pilots. She was running a bit heavy to me and that may just be the case if you've got 105's

I know everything i want to do to it just have to save up the rest to get it first. $900 running in good condition with a parts bike. Mainly wheels frame engine and most ofthe electrical. no carbs though but the engine will turn over. looked at it sunday and will be getting it in like a week or two.
