Thank you !! We have been on this bike for about 4 months. As soon as it is finished, the KZ goes back on the bench.

I have finally reached a safe attitude towards the KZ, and no longer have the urge to burn it to the ground.

Ok I checked those out. They are advertised to be civilized.

I had an 82 Eddie Lawson replica, with a very modified engine and 33mm Smoothbores (round slide) That thing was a complete pig to jet. Eventually I tore the motor down and rebuilt it with stock components.

Had to tune it again, the jetting was real close but always a little on the rich side.

I really do not want to go through that again. This KZ is dead stock with the exception of a pipe and 998cc big bore.

Does anybody have the VM 34's on their bike with simular set-up, and if so are they happy with it?
