Had to pull motor due to my seals on the sprocket cover leaking . Turned out to be the clutch push rod seal but I'm going to replace all three anyways while it's off ,

For anyone dealing with those pain in the butt screws on these engines , I bought a set of 5 reverse thread screw pullers for 8.99 at Home Depot . They can get really expensive but these ones I bought have worked extremely well. I had to use a wrench instead of a drill but it worked very well : )

Nice springer and really dig the location of the gauges. Keep it up because you are doing it nice man.

Are those screw extractors good ones (maybe somebody here knows more about what qualifies them as good)? I'm wary of cheap ones since I had one snap off in the screw once.

I likem. The screw extractor set works just as good as the one I bought from lowes last year. Difference is the lowes one was 20 bucks for a single and Home Depot has a set of 5 for 8.99 . I could buy two sets to equal the one sometimes you can pay less for a good product, which I really appreciate. That's just my own experience. It may be the extractor or the pb blaster I was using haha .
I'll keep posting pictures soon. I'm trying to figure out how to mount my taillight . I'm using a tractor taillight round lol

Can someone else who owns a kz750 twin tell me what this hole on the right of the sprocket cover is. It seems to lead back behind the crankcase breather.
