Around $1000 or so by the time you're done.

That w/out labor if you're assembling yourself, right? What else are you including in that, Steell? Cam chain, idler components, gaskets, seals/rubber components? Anything else?

$600 for Wiseco 810 kit (cheaper if you shop around)
$200 bore and hone
Few $ for base and valve cover gaskets
Oil and oil filter
Valve job, lap them in if they're good, grind if not.
Maybe a new valve or two, maybe a new valve guide or eight

If you're really lucky you might get buy with a little less than $1000, but if you're like me then better plan on $3000 to $4000 :woohoo:


It's amazing how simple jobs can become so expensive. I bought a bike, parked it in the garage/shop to adjust the valves and give it my new to me bike inspection. Had to buy 9 new shims at $4 ea, but the coil on plug conversion, EFI conversion, new tires, replacement plastic parts, new wheels, new brakes, new paint, and a few small things put me somewhere between $1k and $2k. Just for a simple valve adjustment. I've been wondering if I may need Professional help? Nah, I'd rather spend the money on the bikes

get the bike you have running good and maybe look into trying to score some goodies and a good header used...

a well set up 750 is plenty fun...oh and for the 1000 you might spend to bump the motor up...you could just as easy score a deal on a nice 900/1000 full bike running good...with a list of stuff improved already...happens all the time...

get that 750 running good and smile away...

ok heres the deal i now have two 83 kz750 L3's one is pictured in my aviator the other i have not yet got pics of . one runs good the other is an unknowen so i was thinking maybe i would like more hp and was lookin around to see which way would be the least cost
