Hum, and those should fit a 94? The forks are the same diameter? If so, I want to get the smaller, dust cap for the fork as well, as long as it will fit a 38mm tube. I cant understand how this part works, but I am def down for it. What size did you use? 2" or 1"?

I used the 1 inch. Not sure if they would fit in yours or not. Could try emailing Shnitz. They sometimes take a day or 2 but have always gotten back to me.

Damn, I called them and they say they wont fit. I dont really understand how they work anyway. My buddy has a lathe, if I understood how they work, I could prob make them.

Oh, also, I need a little help. This bike had the big fork boots on it. I have a KZ650 as well. It has the small dirt wiper on the fork leg that is very short. Does anyone know if I can get the low dirt wiper for the KZ1000 fork?

I am sure you could,others have made them out of electrical conduit. I do not understand how they work either. Did you look at the directions on the Schnitz site?

if you cant find dust covers to fit your forks on z1enterprise.

i am sure that your buddy with the lathe could spin out some from aluminum that were shaped like the ones that go on the regular kzs,then just paint powder or ano them and your set.

i have some chrome dust covers that have been made from aluminum that are vintage times i have had for 20+ years.

Hey guys, need some tuning advice. I pulled the motor out of the frame the other day so I can paint the frame and stuff. When I pulled the exhaust pipes, the third pipe and exhaust port are pretty white. All the others are black. What does that mean? Not enough fuel? Spark? Any pointers would be great.

THanks

I would suspect an air leak at the exhaust gasket.

Hum, ok. I dont really think it is that, because I just replaced all of them. Cause the bike is apart, I will check all surfaces and I have even more new ones on the way. Someone else told me that it could mean a lean condition. I am gonna check all the carbs while the bike is apart too.

Well, suprisingly the plug looks like all the others it is a dark tan. From reading about plugs in the past, I remember that being the color you want, right?

Yes, right. Dark tan is very acceptable.

Good Fortune! :)
