I would still check the valves and guides. When you drain your oil, if you see shiny particles in the oil like color, you know you have a problem. I did.

Did you get the 650 manual or one for the 750-4? You'll probably need both.
It helps to mention the exact 650 model.

Here's a site w a 750-4 pdf manual & wiring diagrams. mbsween. bike-night. KZ750L3 . Scroll down & click "The Bible" link.
Note: some of the wiring diagrams are mislabeled in the links: the 1981 Ltd is an H2, the 82 is an H3, & the 83 is an H4.

I had particles like that in a Honda once it was the timing chain cutting a slot in the cylinder because the tensioner had failed.

I busted a cam chain in 78, all hell broke loose. Went from 903 to 1015. It was cheaper that way and I rode it with stock cams until 86.
