Nice cat! Again, welcome to the forum.
Can you get some more pics of it, the cat I mean?
I tried everywhere to find that cat on FleaBay but could not. Do you want to sell it/him/her?

Don't be mislead by the "strange" look of my cat. I know it scares children, but it's quite a distinguished and well educated cat.

The problem is that renting a trailer is really a pain here in Paris. I would have to drive my car for 1 hour to go to the nearest spot where I can rent one. Then, I would have to give it back on Monday morning, and then stay for another hour stuck in traffic jams to go to my job.

That's why I really would prefer to ride the KZ1000ST to the other place, 150 km away. But I fear that riding with carburators in such bad conditions would damage the motor, even if I stay in the rpm range where the engine seems to run ok. What's your opinion?

The airbox hoses are in bad shape. I really can't remove the carbs to remove them right here in Paris. If I do so, I won't be able to put them back in place, and I would prefer to replace them in my other house. However, I'll drain the carburators before moving the bike again. That can easily be done.

I know that's a strange situation, but here in Paris, we really have few space, I live in an appartment, and I have nowhere to work on my bike but... on the sidewalk!

I already noticed www.z1enterprises.com . They've got a lot of parts, and prices are reasonables. I'll buy my parts there.

Here's the bike (and me!):

I was 3 years old when that bike was bought by its first owner.

I'll create another thread to introduce myself and show you more pictures.

is that bike really small or are you just really big?

Here is the answer:

Does this model have a mechanical advance?
I must've cleaned the carbs on my 650 a dozen times before checking this. The bike had been stored long term, and gave similar symptoms at around 5k rpm. The advance mech was seized and a bit of grease sorted out the worst of this in less than half an hour.

Carbs will probably still need cleaning though.

Thanks for the advices guys.

I decided to do not ride the ST, and I moved it to the other location on a trailer.
