Hi Tony, I would check points/timing, balance carbs and maybe turn up tickover up a little.

Not keen on the fuel tank, looks like the same one I have on my “Flymo”
Only joking hope to see it when we have a KZ meet up in summer.

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. -

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 Guys, Thought this KZ was a bit slow, I found the reason for it, New front 17t sprocket arrived this morning so straight into the workshop and that’s when noticed it had a 40t sprocket on the rear!! anyway I will try it with the 17 and if I am still not happy I can change to a standard 38, cant go any larger on the front as the wheel is as far…[Read more]

Sounds like an 18 might be worth a try, I put a 1 tooth larger front sprocket on my FJ1200 road bike and a one tooth smaller front sprocket on my FJ1200 track, The difference between the two was amazing.

Has anybody changed the sprockets/gearing on the KZ? Just wondering if it is better.
I went out yesterday and did about 45 miles, Although it does go fast enough it always seems to settle back at a happy 55mph.
I bought my KZ to tour Romania this year but I just cant see it happening!
I rode my CB175 to Spain and back but it cruised faster than…[Read more] -

Very nice Kaye, A lot of unseen work goes into projects like this, routing and mounting things hurts my head!! I was not keen on the side panels but now they are finished they look good.
Well done 🙂 -

Thank you KK
I will not get to ride it properly until I tax it starting April.
Got a lot of work to do now on a 1963 CB72 that I have bought to be my small bike for summer.
I always have a small bike for riding around the country lanes on summer evenings, usually its my CD175 which also doubles as a trackbike!! -

Hi Michael
I had a go at it today, I turned some large washers down and welded them inside out of sight.
Its knocked a few decibels off the top so they will be ok for now.
I have a 1963 CB72 to get on the road now, I was going to use these same exhausts on it but I don’t think I can live with them at 10,000 RPM, looks like thats going to get a…[Read more] -
