it rained today so i didnt get any pics but i got another question. we have a kawi LTD750 sittin in the garage at my parents place.is that a KZ750 by chance? they look similar.
Could be, as LTD models of the KZ750 were produced for several years.
Pic? Vin? Info on triple clamp?
Good Luck!

Am uncertain as to which KZ750 parts might be interchangeable with 1983 KZ550.
Good Luck!

The KZ 2-cylinder motorcycles are parallel Twins.2low4NH wrote:

It's an air injection system - fresh air is introduced into the exhaust to help burn off any unused fuel..... u said the emmisions part which im guessing kinda works like a pcv has a big hose off the airbox and is mounted under the tank!
Actually, you have two air injection lines connected to the #1 & #4 carb holder vacuum ports... Referencing your pics above (they would be easier to look at if the pics were oriented the same, instead of having one sideways. ) The #2 & #3 carb holder vacuum ports are typically capped. Please note that those ports are NOT on the carbs.should have 2 vaccuum lines going to it right? i have one line coming off the 1st carb.
The vents are usually located in the same position on two of the carbs - probably the #2 & #4 carbs - the blue cap in pic one, the open port yer pointing to in pic two. The vent tubing is routed towards the rear of the bike & should point down. On my bike they're routed over the airbox shoulders & fit snug between the airbox & side covers.
I would guess that the petcock vacuum line is connected to the forward port on carb #4 in pic one.

The carbs etc are numbered 1-2-3-4 left-to-right sitting on the bike.
Carb holder vacuum ports:
#1 & #4 -->> air injection system hoses
#2 & #3 -->> capped
Carb vents:
#2 & #4 -->> same general postion on those two carbs
The blue cap & the one yer pointing to. The vent hoses are typically routed towards the rear of the bike & should point down.
Petcock vacuum port:
#4 -->> the forward port w the black tubing.
Fuel line:
Connected to a T-fitting between #2 & #3

Confused!?!?! If you mean the vent ports on the #2 & #4 carbs, then yes, they should be open to the atmosphere. Route the tubing in whatever manner is correct for your bike.....the pics with the blue cap are 3/4 so those should be open? ...
And I forgot to add in my first post that the 550 is completely different than the 750-4.
