Hello, been lurking and using the search function for a couple days but cant really find the answers im looking for. i finally bought a KZ1000, its a 78 and im planning on running an open 4-1 and a set of pods or a breadbox aircleaner. can anyone give me a baseline of where i can start the jetting process? im not too familiar with KZs, this is only my third one and i didnt have the other 2 very long but i intend on keeping this one. most of my experience is with Honda SOHC bikes, so i apppreciate any help.

1978 KZ1000-A2 (standard) Mikuni 26mm VM26SS 105R main and 15 pilot
1978 KZ1000-D1 (Z1R cafe racer) Mikuni 28mm VM28SS 107.5R and 15 pilot
Before any jet change, would perform throttle chop test with plug readings.
Would continue using the stock airbox.
Maybe with a K&N filter if preferred.
Actually, a fresh oem paper fold air filter flows almost as much air, and with superior filtration.
Good Fortune!

I'm getting ready to buy a stock '79 KZ1000E1 w stocks carbs and exhaust. According to one post above, the E1 (shaft drive) version comes with a larger main jet than the other models.
If I want to put an aftermarket 4 into 1 pipe on her, what would you recommend jetting her with?
Thanks!
