And yet another thing. You may remember how I restored the starter motor for my KZ650. You may find the story here: www.kzrider.com/forum/11-projects/610746...cer?start=252#837761

And here: www.gazzz-garage.com/category/kawasaki-k...kz650-starter-motor/

In the course of restoration I had to make new gaskets (they are important for starter motor work in my opinion). Here are pictures with gasket dimensions (in millimeters) and drawings in DXF (AutoCAD) ZIPed into archive. The thickness of gaskets I used in my starter motor was 0.5mm
