The chain could have been replaced with another size kit so you have to check it yourself. If you can't see the numbers on it try counting the links and look it up or post here.

It should be an 18" on the back and a 19" on the front. You might want to re check that

I'm still having problems with the ol girl starting and I can't figure it out. There's quite a bit that needs to be done that I know. The gas tank is rusted on the inside, plugs and wires definitely are going to be replaced and probably torn apart this winter and put a gasket kit in it. While I'm doing that I'm going to clean up the heads and block too. Any good suggestions on how to accomplish that? Also can anyone tell me the chain size. I can't find it any where.

Agree! If you have an 18" tire on the front someone changed wheels on the bike, or King Kong managed to stretch an 18" tire onto a 19" rim! :woohoo: The 1982 KZ1000-J2 would have originally come with a 3.25V-19 front tire. Ed
