does anyone have any knowledge of whether this will fit in any kz 750's or 650's...i may get it and have it on hand in case a bro needs a motor or i find a beater small z....

thanks guys

The mounts are just a little different but you can make it work.

It will fit in all the 650/750 four frames - I believe you have to add a couple of spacers at the front mounts, but other than that it should be a bolt-in.

i was thinking of offering the guy 100.00 or 125...if it is still there ...i dont like low balling folks...but i am not really in need...maybe he can use the cheese.....

do you think i am just collecting or is it worth grabbiing for future use for me or anyone...it is about 30 minutes from me at most.....thanks mark

Look at it this way, a stock 650 has some 64 hp, GPz 750 is 85 hp out of the box and is just about the cheapest way to hop up a 650 - for that kind of money you shouldn't have any problems unloading it. If I weren't in Europe I'd be interested..

ok yeah maybe i should give him a call....now here we go on the next useless bike journey....the neck bones connected to the back bone...the back bones conneceted to the hip bone.. ...ect...ectOnkelB wrote:

the clutch connection is a bit different also. price seems ok. i got a fairly complete gpz750 last fall for 125 dollars, made twice that back selling bits and pieces and i am left with an engine, and swingarm.
if the starter cluth is still ok i would do a compression test on it before handing over the money, my guess the starter is bad and you can hammer the price down some.

that is the head and barrels all the guys that want to hot-rod the 650's are using isn't it so why not just use the entire engine instead.

I'm hoping that is the case. Then I'll be able to pass on my 650 motor once I get the 750 built and going. My 650 is fine, but I want a bit more power and not have to do any radical changes to the engine to get it. Stock motor is my goal, maybe change the carbs.

Speaking of which, are the stock gpz750 carbs good or should I look for something else? Any ideas?
