Possible bearing issue in the clutch...
04 Nov 2016 20:30
'82 KZ750-H3 LTD in question...
There is something, I believe it's the throw out bearing in the clutch, it's making this screaming / yodeling sound, especially on deceleration. The bike shifts fine but if I grab the clutch too hard the cable sometimes feels like it's broken, but it's not. If I remove the left cover and mess with the adjustment, I can get it "fixed"...
Anyway, I can't seem to find any replacement bearings after market... Any recommendations?

Here you go...

Why buy aftermarket parts when Kawasaki sells most of what you need themselves?

Every time I've tried to order OEM parts straight from the source, I get told it's on back order and has been on back order for 20 years. This is why I've been buying up any parts for my specific year and model that I find on ebay whenever I have the money to do so... I've got everything but the frame, engine, and rear wheel at this point to build a whole new one.

Well I tracked down the yodeling I was hearing. It's inside my tachometer which spontaneously broke yesterday. The speedo cable also broke... down near the wheel. I happen to have had a spare speedo cable on hand, so I fixed that part today...
But hey, if a broken tach is the worst I've got for just getting the bike on the road a couple days ago, that's pretty damn good.
