All I have is a FSM, I used to have two of them but GPzInfested knocked a battery over on top of an open one and it didn't get noticed till the next day, I could have mailed that one in a business envelope when the battery acid got done :D

I have never seen or heard of any other books about the KZ750 twins, just do like I did and buy several, sell a couple, dismantle the others, then reassemble two or three of them. I guarantee you will know them inside out when you're done :D

Thanks steell. I will look into tearing mine apart and taking pics(bad memory)so I can put it back together. If I remember you live in Muncie,IN? If need anything,I could drive up there,approx 4hrs or so from you, Evansville,IN. It will be a while though on this project,job issues. Any advice you can give ia greatly appreciated, And Thank You.

Hey guys,
I am thinking of resurrecting this project,but using mostly stock parts. I have all of it,mostly. The problem is as I said before i am not that familiar with the twins. What specialty tools would be needed for an engine rebuild and what other things that I should be aware of?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried to email steell,but i have not got a reply in some time. Anyone have a manual for a 750 twin?

I discussed carbs with the guy running the 90 rwhp twin , he runs 39mm carbs on his bike, and he thinks my idea of using 38mm throttle bodies would work fine.[/quote]

90rwhp twin? Wow- what did I miss? Anyone have the link to this motor? I didn't think it was possible to get parts to make the twin that bad-azt- I have a 750 twin- how much does it cost to make that much HP? Last time I looked, it looked like you nearly had to make your own liners and cut down pistons- do they have a kit now?

Inquiring minds want to know!

How does a Kawi 750 twin measure up to the XS 650 twin anyway? That is one question I may even start another thread on LOL
