we in the states used to strip and scrap out every single kz1000 shaft drive to fix chain models.

Are chain models more valuable than shaft ones?

How long did it take you to repair GoldWing engine?

Anyone who wants to mod a kz1000 (most who want to build or own one) want a chain drive. Out of the parts bikes I have bought (and resurected) more than half were shaft drive models that were stripped of their parts to fix a chain driven one. And why nebr said the comment he had. MOST wouldn't fix a shaftie

To do the tear down and refresh was a weekend job.

my bikes; 80kz1000(project), 77 gl1000, 74 h2 (project)
Past; 78 kz1000, 83 kz550

Its been a while but I've had the head apart replaced stem seals. Given the head a good clean. Now it certainly runs better at idle. Problem now is white smoke from one of the pipes when you rev it up. Not happy any suggestions.?
Thanks guys
