Does anyone know of a how-to vid to walk me through doing a gasket change? Sucker is leaking in multiple spots. It's a 1979 kz750b twin. Thanks

I am not able to see the pictures you posted, but make surethe surface is clean, and then torque the screws to specifications.
I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

Which gasket do you want to change?

Have you consulted the service manual?

I picked up a gasket kit and they all seem like they would be pretty straight forward to do.....but the head gasket has me a little scared with what it takes to do it. Thanks for the manual link.
