Is it possible that someone put a 650 bucket in my 1000. It appers to only be one any advice on how or should I fix this? This doesn't make any sense because it is only one exaust valve.

From the picture, Blurry, it looks like it lost a shim and fubared the rim around the top of the bucket. Cam looks like it has a wear pattern also.
Better pictures would help.

The cam lobe rides directly against the shim.
KZ650 has shim under bucket, and a smooth rimless surface where the cam lobe rides.
The KZ1000 at hand is supposed to have buckets with the raised rims.
Does the bucket in question have a raised rim or not?
Good Fortune!

Quick and easy way to determine what you have: rotate the bucket in the head, if it has a notch in the upper edge (marked red in the pic) it's not a 650 bucket.
Sorry to say, but to me it looks like a shim on top bucket with no shim in it, hope I'm wrong.
Btw, as a sidenote you can't just swap a 650 (or any other shim on bottom type) bucket into a shim on top head, you also need to change the retainer - the retainers in a shim on bottom setup have a recess in them to hold the shim.
