I've got an 82 KZ1100 and would also like to change the gearing. With only five gears, running at 80mph at 5000 rpm gets tiring. I know this engine has the power to do 80mph at 3000 rpm.

If not a gear change .. I don't suppose it's possible to get a sixth gear in there ... or open the tranny and change the 5th gear ratio?
