Cold start up of a rebuilt 1978 kz650. This bike took me 1.5 years to complete.

  • I love this bike. Where did you manage to find brown hand grips? I have been looking around the internet for weeks and can't find any.

  • DEUS EX MACHINA its a caferacer, bicycle, apparel shop in Australia (mostly SR400's) and they get them from some place in Japan.

  • I notice you put on the air filters, did you have to re-jet the carbs? If so, where were you able to find a good jet kit that worked on this application? Very clean bike. thanks.

  • With pods and a 4 into 1 exhaust I most def. had to rejet the carbs. If memory serves I picked up the rejet kit from Z1 enterprises. I purchased most the the parts for this bike from that website;.

  • i'm looking to get an acewell for my cb750 also. how do you hook up the tach? do you just plug it in? or would you have to cut some wires to make it work? love the bike. definitely one of my fav.

  • the tach uses a single wire that goes to one of the ignition coils, you then set the computer to look for a 2,3, or 4 cylinder engine. the directions that come with the unit spell it out pretty well.

see all

  • So jealous, your bike is absolutely sick. Got a 77 kawi 650 myself and am about to cafe it out.

  • What about tuning? How did you go about tuning the carbs?

  • @ShafterRod I believe those are raask rearsets. You can order them from Omar's rearsets online.

    They are 340 USD shipped from Omar's

  • Great bike. How do you like the raask rear sets? is the foot position comfortable? where did you get them from and for how much?

    I am about to order some online from Omar's rearsets for my 78 kz650. I haven't been able to find out much about them from people with first hand experience.

    Thanks

  • Did you hook a mechanical speedometer cable to that digital one?

  • I just picked up a 77 kz 650, I have many many quesitons about this build, where did you get the rear sets and does the kickstart still work with them?

  • That headlight is awesome! Where do you find that item?

  • I believe that's an Acewell gauge.
