Would obtain the part numbers from kawasaki,com and Google each number.

Lots of good info on kawasaki.com, including parts diagrams, part names, part numbers, models sharing same part, availability, etc. Here's a link for help with navigating the site and finding information.

I would start by finding out how many intake and exhaust valves are needed. They normally can be found on eBay for about $24 each, but if you need intake valves here's a place that has 2 of them for $17 each. Ed

The FIRST thing you want to do with a 750 head is to have the combustion chambers media blasted so the full valve seat can be inspected for chips. I've had 750 heads come in with seats so badly chipped they need to be replaced. If the head checks out good, then order valves and IMO you may as well just get all new valves and be done with it as long as you're going the extra mile to attempt to do things properly.

IF the head needs valve seats [and i'm not saying it will or will not] get a price on that first.

Check kz650.info, should be some valves floating around over there.
Maybe even a good complete head.

Still recovering,some days are better than others.

??? I don't understand why you are having problems finding the valves for your motorcycle. Your intake and exhaust valves are readily available on eBay and 2 intakes are available in the link I provided in my earlier reply. What exactly are you using for your search criteria? Are you quite sure you know what to look for? Ed

I think he means he can't find a place to buy the 4 intake and 4 exhaust valves all together at once.

Aftermarket valves for 750 are not that common as 650 ones.

Did you try Partzilla?
