Well, I was finally able to get a good look at my manual and the 900/1000 pumps are a standard gear pump. There are very specific clearances to measure according to the manual, so that will be the next step. Who knew! The manual had the info all along:whistle:
The Kaw List:
Current: 79 KZ1000 A3 MKII, 78 KZ1000 A2, 78 KZ1000 Z1-R, 78 KZ650 SR, 80 KE175

Isn't it amazing what we men learn when we read the book!?

This is what I do for fun, not for work. It is art, with a little engineering thrown in.

On my turbo bike, the case sides were lapped slightly to tighten the tolerances between the gears and the case to optimize the pump output.


Wow! A performance mod for the oil pump! The things you learn on this site...:)


It's a fairly easy modification - any good machine shop can do this. You can even do it yourself with a ultra flat hard metal surface and some fine grinding paste.
