Now that’s great save and a real challenge. Are you going to attempt to restore her?

That is quite shocking news Karl. I do wish you a speedy return to health and all the best wishes for your family. Stay strong pal.
It’s such a shame you won’t be there mate but I will raise a glass to you. There is a possible 14 twins going which will be by far the biggest gathering in the UK. I do hope to do it again and that time you will come 👍 -

Hi NevT
Have you done a full refurb of the starter inc new brushes etc?
I use and swear by Motobatt batteries. A bit more expensive but very durable and reliable.

Hello everyone
There has been a few murmurs, requests and interest shown for a 750 twin meeting from both old and new members so I I’m going to organise one for later this year to which everyone is welcome.
I am proposing a meet at the Victoria Bikers Pub in Coalville, Leicestershire. I have been there on a couple of occasions and had a great t…[Read more]

Kaptainkwak replied to the topic New member, swinging arm upgrade. in the forum New Member Introductions 2 years, 3 months ago
Hi Blenky
I am not 100% sure that the B3/B4 needle rollers will fit straight into the B1/B2 swinging arm. However I do have a B1/B2 swinging arm with needle rollers fitted so yes it can be done. You will need the B3/B4 sleeve which I don’t have.
Cheers

Kaptainkwak replied to the topic Has anyone found different carbs to work on a Bi. in the forum How To Fix It 2 years, 3 months ago
Hi Alfredo
There are several reasons you could be getting these issue . To start I have a number of questions:
- What model of twin do you have?
- Are you using the air filter box?
- Have you replaced the carb rubbers (both sides)
- What exhaust do you have?
Cheers

Hi Karl
Sorry but somehow I missed this. Hope all is well with you.
Have you managed to get to your twin again?

Kaptainkwak replied to the topic Old Chop Starts after over 15 years in the forum Projects and Progress 2 years, 7 months ago
Well that probably eliminates a lot. The head of the starter motor is a gear box. What you say suggests the gears have probably been removed. I do have a new starter motor head but that doen’t come cheap but should be able to supply you with any missing parts in used condition.

Kaptainkwak replied to the topic Old Chop Starts after over 15 years in the forum Projects and Progress 2 years, 7 months ago
That’s surprising. If everything is fitted I would expect to hear chattering. Spinning freely normally happens when the chain has been removed which some people do when the clutch fails. The only other things that come to mind are a bit more serious.
Firstly it might be the large gear that engages with the starter clutch is either a wrong one or…[Read more]

Kaptainkwak replied to the topic Old Chop Starts after over 15 years in the forum Projects and Progress 2 years, 7 months ago
152 & 155 are very healthy. In what way is the engine failing to turn? Is the starter motor sluggish or is it spinning quite freely and chattering?

philpassingham replied to the topic Kawasaki swinging arm options in the forum Projects and Progress 2 years, 7 months ago

Looking at the picture I would say it’s a 1982 Y1 LTD. Check the frame number in the Model ID section of the library.

I speak with Michael quite regularly. He runs the German twin site http://www.z750twin.de
Actually tried today without success. He is probably out racing his 750 twin. I will ask the question when I make contact.KK

I’ve been keeping an eye on that on ebay. Good to see you got it. I’m always interested in parts donated, swapped or bought to help keep members running. Let me know what becomes available and if you want anything and we can look to deal.

I don’t know the measurements but I can tell you they are different for different models. What model do you have?

Kaptainkwak started the topic 2 into 1 Exhaust System in the forum Bike Related Sales and Wants 2 years, 7 months ago
Here is a 2 into 1 exhaust system of unknown make. It is a very good used system. It is in good solid condition and has benefitted from a re chrome. There are a couple of minor marks which are out of sight when fitted and a couple of areas showing minor corrosion which do not affect it’s looks or performance and are easily addressable.
