KZ650 Sleeper Build (KZ1000 engine transplant)

Going to be getting back on this build soon but the window to ride here is gone for the season.

The carbs got flushed out so I am ahead of the "winterizing" game. I do need to drain the oil for the stator removal, its on the center stand and don't have room to tip it over where its parked.

 

Stator swap out won't be taxing, but I dislike dealing with that black RTV.

l was also thinking about going back to stock cam end plugs as the RTV I redid on those is leaking at one corner again. No risk on blowout as the cam cover has a good size vent. 
Either I go back to stock or I buy the billet plugs with the O rings as I don't like dealing with the oil weeps.

The other winter project on tap is milling a billet center top idler bracket to aid in cam cover removal. Along with that a billet center idler sprocket.

And again:   Congrats, nice and very clean machine, very good job, you´ve done on it !!! Double thumbs up !!!

Thanks.

I've got the engine in the frame and running, but have not ripped down the street yet

Maybe I was overly cautious, should have at least taken it around the block when the weather was half decent, but now its 10C here and rains most days.

I have had charging issues in the past and when I had trouble starting it in my garage I took pause. I would hate to be a few clicks from the house and have to push it back been there so many times in the past.
