I need pistons and sleeves or pistons and a bore. I see some sweet deals on some combos but I wanted to know what wiggle room there is with these motors as far as campatibility.
Mine is a KZ 1000 B4 LTD
Can you guide me in the right direction.
I want to stay at the stock 1015cc because I had just adjusted the carbs sooooo puuurfect before she got frisky and scraped up the cylinder walls.
Any help would be appreciated, I couldn't let this bike go for some odd reason haha
Q1 - Between 1000cc and 1100cc models can you change the barrels and pistons straight over for the same model year?
Q2 - Can I put stock police bike barrels from the newer KZ's or older KZ's. Im looking for a straight swap

The J model and 1100 stuff will not bolt to your engine.

That means all 903 and 1015cc blocks.
Basically anything from a Z1/Z900 up to 1000A, Z1R, MK2 and ST1000.
As long as it's from a kicker engine it will fit.

I wouldnt worry about adjusting the carbs. Thats just a fact of life. Its something you need to get used to doing. And usally from my past experince. When you take the carbs off and move them around and do motor work. I.e. change parts as pistons and rings some carb adjustment will be required anyway.

I talked to a guy with a CB café and he told me about a machinist who does side work for a fair price so the option of boring up is in my reach.
I am in the market for pistons, I want a full rebuild on this motor!

For a set of MTC 1075 pistons , fitted to fresh bore job and rings setup for you to drop in Joe cant be beat for price and quality. I trusted him with my piston work and have been very pleased. Carbs will be a minor job to adjust
Have fun no matter what path you choose
