    Hi Guys, I had a bit of a ride today with the new 17t front sprocket it a big improvement bring the revs down by about 500rpm at 60mph.
    Not sure now if I should get a 38t on the back then I have an option of going to an 18t on the front.
    Anyway I made a small video while I was out, Got the 0-60 down to 6.75.

    Hi Mike,

    thank you for the video !

    Bike is running good, so there is only the individual stuff left 😉

    Exhaust, transmission ratio, etc.

    Well done !

    Cheers, Michael

    Hi kaptainkwak
    These roads are around where I live in North Yorkshire, From my house without traveling on main roads I can ride the NorthYorks moors, Pennines from where I can get to Lancashire, Lake District, Manchester and going the other way through Durham and Northumberland it is exactly 100 miles to the Scottish border all without nothing more than crossing main roads.
    My favourite route is to Whitby which takes about 1.30 using roads which are not even on the maps!
    Now you know why my favourite bike is my CD175.

    The pic at Applecross is just North of Sky, I did the round trip back home it in under 24hours 838 miles.
    The Red CB175 is another of my bikes, That pic was taken when a friend and I rode to Spain 2200mile round trip in 10 days.
    I bought the KZ to do a trip to Romania but I don’t think I can face it, looks like I will be using my CX500 for that.

    Well the summer has gone, Tank drained and gone into the attic, Carb drain screws removed, Battery removed, Oil changed, Squirted with a can of WD40, Covered up behind shed with a plastic sheet, Bike cover and a load of wood for camouflage!!
    2000mls done and no problems, much better bike with a 18t sprocket on the front but I think I will have to get the CX500 out next year.
    Probably get the KZ out in Ten years or so and you will see it on E-Bay as a rusty barn find.:(
