Do the oil pans interchange? I could use another pan but GPz pans are hard to find. Not to mention an easy way to upgrade to a cooler if needed.

Not really the turbos have a sump pan for the scavenger pump .

I might have a na pan . Have to look in my spares .

the zr7 pump i mounted in the past was in my gpz 750/810 road racer. with 90 rwhp temps can get really high in racing, you're constantly on full throttle/high revs for 25 mins and oil gets scaringly thin when really hot, the extra flow i see as cheap insurance. a tuner friend runs every now and then an oil pressure gauge and by mid race oil pressure drops quite a bit. would do this change in a street bike only if i lived in very hot weather, carry high loads, etc. never thought that my kz750E REALLY needed the bigger pump in northern italy weather.

the zr-7 pan is really like the gpz's, if anyone is thinking of a bolt on way to have a cooler.

I don't have a turbo just a 82 dual track. I was wondering if the ZR will fit. My plug is stripped out and I have to wrap it with Teflon on a double oversized plug to keep it from dripping. I can make a steel sleeve to repair it but I'd like to have a spare just in case and so I can take my time without having the bike down.

I thought I found one on eBay but once I got it the oil cooler fittings we just blanked out and not drilled. It was black but it must haves been for a L, P or 700.

The seller was cool about it, he refunded my money and told me not to worry about sending it back.

Well then, that opens up my options.

I think the ZR7 oil pan is basically same as the GPz and later model 750 w/oil cooler pans. I put one on my 750E2 and it's a straight bolt on.

***The zr-7 oil pan does not have the hole for the oil level switch that the gpz's normally have. The spot for the hole is there but it is not milled out.***

That's why I chose to use the zr-7 pan and not the gpz pan, as I would have had to make a block off plate for the oil level switch hole that the kz750e's do not have.

IDK what happened there

Not an issue....

No kidding!

Whre's the ZR switch mount? Would it be better to use one of those if using a ZR pump and relief valve?

interesting, my european z750 (that's how KZs were called here in italy) didnt have the switch... my two gpz 550 / 750 did...

ripped off the whole internal thing and used the switch external plate as a blank off
