You will also need some precision measuring tools and some accurate torque wrenches.

Also, access to a trustworthy machine shop that is familiar with these old engines, or your own machine shop and a pile of knowledge and skills.

If the primary drive (chain, clutch) is making a clacking noise at idle, the noise should disappear, as Wookie said, when you engage first gear and start to disengage the clutch. An original chain on a 45-year-old motorcycle will definitely make a clacking noise. You can find new ones on eBay for a few tens of euros (although 750 chains seem expensive). If, on the other hand, it clunks when you disengage the clutch and accelerate, then you might be worried about a connecting rod. A bal bearing will groan and make a rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. rrrr rr 😄m 750 bottom end engines are very robust. There were many 750s in Germany: E, L1, L2, L3, and even ZX. There are many parts at reasonable prices on ebay.de or on kleinanzeigen. Good luck.

I have both the german  and english versions  trust me. I am on this. I live in both worlds.

+1 for the FSM - best advice I can give you is don't listen to that "bloke in the pub" who knows "everything about everything" !!

Use a genuine Kawasaki FSM vs others, if you can.

Don't let a few pennies make you wish that you had.
