1974 Kz 400 Valve ajustmet plugs
21 Apr 2025 07:16
Hello does anyone have a spare Valve ajustment plug for a 1974 KZ400 I think the later ones were different, or does anyone know of a replacement from anoter bike that would fit, I think a previous owner must have been a body builder one of the ajuster plugs was so tight it broke while I was trying to undo it, the sump drain plug was also so tight I had to use a an impact wrench to undo it , the Plug I need is number 17 in the diagram

I do not have one to offer you. Partzilla indicates they have them in stock.

Thank You I should have said I was in the UK, I am now wondering if the Cam/Head cover that holds the rocker arms could be changed for a later model one say from a 1978 with a more direct way of adjusting the valve clearance
