50 mile drive

First ride in about 18 years.....got my 79kz1000ltd on the rode.
Thing is a beast......above 3500rpm pulls really hard up to 9500.
Using the 26mm .....can't wait to finish re building the 29mmsmoothbores.
120 came perty fast.
Pics from the bike show ...

Don't expect too much from the 29's. Great to hear, keep the rubber on the road.

:woohoo:

bluej56...................yes it did........
swest.....................they will make a big diffrent...when i first got the bike even tho #2 carb was not working properly the acceleration was better.
would like a set of 34/36mm but maybe later on.

If you are cammed for it, yeah, it will. I had 28's, good enough and the 33's didn't give me that much more.
Bossie looked like the first pic when I bought her in 75. MAN, like her, I'm feeling my age. We can still kick ass though, if not, will pick up something to finish the job. Gotten mean in our old age.

Another 50mile drive......Happy Times.....Had my 14 year old son with me as a passenger.
Last time i had him on bike he was 6 month old.....

Looks like 105 miles on a tank before reserve...ltd tank.
Was already on reserve when bike started to die on me....first thing I thought was resevse is clog...park on side of road and notice that all the gas was towards the front of the tank...then realize I was on a long downhill.
1198 kit Z4 cams and 26mm
Just got the 29mm rebuilt..will see what kind of milage i get with those.

I'd get 130 miles on mine if no problems. Replaced the O rings on the low speed screws. Now it's rich again. I'm at #70 pilot will go down to #65. These things were pritty screwed up when I bought them. PO drilled the mixer tubes(emulsion tubes) and I had to solder them, Too lean. His brother Donny knew his shit, he didn't. I might start clearing them one by one to find that sweet spot.
