Z1000mk2 Exhaust port damage around valve guide

Wow. All you can do is cut along the hex to the flange holding the clutch all the way around now. Then you'll cut a couple slices on the hub being careful not to hit the crank. PLS take pics and post them as you go.

So first i cut along the red lines all the way up to s. clutch (no worries if i hit it, i'm getting a new one as this looks busted) and after that carefully along orange lines towards the crank?

Don't cut to the crank until you have the hub exposed. I'm going to post a pic of the back side of the rotor.

You can call me if you need to Send me a PM and I'll give you my #

Damn cam. Have to format it every time I use it again,
Just checked you profile. A call ain't going to happen.
Here's a clip.

Thanks Steve, thats a huge help right there! I'll do the cutting tomorrow, had to live in a Honda (cb500 four) world the rest of this evening

Those were nice bikes too. Handled better that the 750 and almost as much power.
Steve

Okay I'm at the hub now from one side. I was thinking now to switch to sanding disc and sand off material until metal turns to blue which will mean it's so thin that i'm nearing the crank.

Obviously s. clutch is goner

Bad idea. Given enough time it will all turn blue. Look at your old pics. The slices on the face are almost to the crank. I'd cut 90* at the end of the cuts so I could see the end of the crank. Before you do that, try the bolt on the center again. With all that cutting and heat. It might come off. I hope so. What a nightmare.
Steve

Going back over your pics, did you use a 18mm bolt or tool the press off the rotor?
Steve

Well, all I gotta say I wish I don't have to do this again EVER.

But it's off now. Minimal marks on the crank. just one tiny contact mark at the very end of the taper. It shows in the picture in the orange circle.
Rotor just didn't move until I sanded it very very close to the crankshaft and put a chisel to it and tapped chisel with hammer. Then it just freed itself and slided off with zero drama Unbeliveable.
Looks like my crank is non-key version. Will it need special rotor too or is the keyed rotor ok? I was checking one from Z1 Power Uk, this one: www.z-power.co.uk/merchantmanager/produc...php?products_id=1888

Everything else looks ok too, but i hit that one washer with cutting disc so I gotta replace that too.

PHEW!

One of our members showed that one. I asked the seller if it had the magnets in it and he gave me a vague answer. Didn't say yes. You should ask before buying. No key in the shaft? 8mm bolt or 10mm?
