Starter Motor Removal
Looking at my shop manual it says to remove:
1.The fuel tank.
2.Carbs.
3.Cam chain tensioner cap and pull out the spring and push rod stop.
4.Remove the shaft and reduction gear.
5.Remove the starter motor retaining bolts (2).
6.Pry the starter motor loose from the crankcase with a screwdriver.
7.Slide the starter motor off towards the right side of the engine and lift it upwards.
There's a note stating "DO NOT TAP ON THE STARTER MOTOR SHAFT OR BODY, TAPPING MAY DAMAGE THE SHAFT OR MOTOR.
8.Slide out the rubber cap, remove the starter motor terminal nut and lock washer, and take the lead off the motor.

I did not remove all that on my bike, 82 KZ1000 K2. Just the sprocket cover, carb's tank and tensioner stayed put. Comes out of the engine pretty quick, then just got to turn it at an slight angle to get it out. Easy to do, maybe 15 min with hand tools. Of course disconnecting the battery is recommended, but unless the solenoid engages the starter end of battery cable won't be live.

I too just removed the starter with the cover off. For me, I had to make sure the starter was pulled straight back to get it out and it was fairly easy.

I was wondering about it because it looks like there is plenty of room to giggle it out without removing them. I have a starter rebuild kit coming, so am preparing for this sometime this weekend.

Removed the starter on my 1982 J2 without removing the carbs or the tensioner, even though the Shop Manual says to remove them. Plenty of clearance.
