Kz650 kickstart help

I paid a guy 400 dollars to replace my starter clutch. After he "finished" He tells me buy a new battery it will fire right up. Well i do that and what you know clutch still slipping and grinding like before.

So anyway i notice the sight glass was empty. I put 3 quarts almost 4 quarts in. Big mistake. I was able to crank it 1 or 2 times.. Let it idle and oil was pouring out everywhere from the crankcase breather. So i pulled the plug.. Syphened about 2 quarts out and the oil level is still high. Now i cant even kickstart the bike and if for some miraculous reason it starts.. The bike will just bog down and shut off after giving it gas. I plan on taking more oil out tomr. Also i put the bike in 1st gear cranked it and the bike rolled forward. Not sure what to do spent like all my money trying to get this on the road and its just nothing but a fuckn headache.

It look like your specialist mechanic overfill the engine with a lot more oil as necessary.
Out of my memory 3500 ml = 3,5 Liter = 3.7 Quart (USA) = 0,925 Gallon (USA)
The view glass in the clutch cover have to show half filled with oil when the bike is on the main stand.




Be careful your engine sucks oil into the combustion camber over air filter body.
Liquids can´t be compressed like gases an will destroy your engine (Piston cracked and crank rods bend)
Pull the plugs and clean the complete intake part, air filter , air filter body, breather, combustion camber with compressed air.

BTW: get your money back and let you show the old parts he have replaced, i will do so!!!
No good mechanic will give away a bike unproved like this, (sorry to say,), loco mechanic.
He play Russian roulette with the life and health of people like you..

Thats for the help.. I changed the clutch lever to like a basic bike lever with no lock screw is that ok?

Also i have pods now. So no airbox.. How do i clean inside the spark plug holes? And the breather is just a hose and screen taped on ill def clean that tomr

Damn i dont even have air compressor.

Sounds like the mechanic didnt do any work at all. Dont feel bad. Some of us have been there. Dont start that bike until you have that oil level right. As another posted said, you could have damaged the engine.

Take a deep breath and relax. You will get your bike back on the road!

Theres one of the clutch lever... With no lock nut so not sure how to adjust clutch.

Bike pic.. The pods arnt on at the moment cause i was sprayin starter fluid prayin for somethin. And the the ghetto crankcase breather

Frame cut waitin for seat in the mail. And tank primed ready for paint

Turn signals wont blink (led type) changed one of the solenoids? To triton.. Im guessin i have to change both?

Frame cut. Congratulations - your bike now has independent rear suspension. Oh wait - that's good on a car / bad on a bike. You need to find someone who can weld because that little piece of original sheet metal connecting the frame rails isn't adequate to keep the rails aligned when you're riding. Ed

I know im so proud of myself! Lol. Actually theres 2 bars one alittle closer to the battery. I was gonna cut that piece off you have circled. I dont think it will be an issue.. Maybe one day ill weld a hoop but i gotta be able to ride it to a weld shop first. No truck/trailor

Your rear frame is very unstable and your rear shocks are too short!! When you hit the next road hole your tire hit the rear frame bracket!! This can cause a real bad road accident by a blocking wheel or ripped rear tire!!
Be careful with it.
