Cam End Plugs - Which brand would you use? was created by MaineKZ
I'm getting parts ready to perform a valve check on a '84 KZ700. I figure the bike is 35 years old with an unknown maintenance history, I might as well replace the cam end plugs..

It looks like the most available options are OEM and Vesrah brand. Which ones would you use? Or does it make a difference?

THanks!

These will not fit a 700.

Popping out is not a problem on the 700 since a bolt goes through the plug.

Aluminum plugs are a good option, if available. After two years had one slight oil seep, but this time I'm giving the sealer a week to set up, instead of one day.
