engine side -- Yes

The inside or outside? -- Inside

Might measure slightly larger than sized.
For example, 26mm Mikuni measures slightly more than 26mm.

Good Fortune! :)

I believe you will find it actually is a 1980 since Kawasaki did not make a 1979 KZ750-LTD twin. This is good to know when ordering parts. Just like cars, bikes are identified by MODEL year, not the year they are actually built. As an example, if your KZ750-G1 was built in October 1979 it is a 1980 model. Ed
