Any of you KZ650 Guys have a 77-80 worn out rubber roller adjuster or whatever they are called?
Need one to modify. I think part # is 12048-015.
Thanks in advance. Want to make my own Liska for the big Z/KZ

Hi Matt. Yes, but it has to be the 650cc. Our bigger 900/1000 our a little different. People use the 650 and change out the roller for a sprocket with teeth. "ZED 1015" does a conversion, he explained in a thread somewhere. That's what I would like to do. The Liskas's are $100 plus. I just can't seem to justify that! If I can machine my own, that would be cool. I have several worn out 900/1000 rollers.
And nos for the 650 are stupid money! When you can buy Liska.
Bike is coming along. Let me look for some of the idler rollers you need? I might have some extra?? Not sure?

Marty,

   I would assume this is a 900/1000. I didn’t know they were different. I think I read that post and I thought it was mentioned the parts were the same but just used different number. If you need it it’s yours. What’s the difference between the 900/1000 and the 650? Any parts you can help me with I’d appreciate it

The 650 tensioner bracket  ( centre in the pic ) uses a bigger roller to the 900/1000 far left in the pic.
The 650 one will take a stock 17t  toothed idler sprocket  and fit the 900/1000 block once the black areas shown on the centre pic are removed to allow it to clear the casting where  the tensioner sits in the back of the block.
The far right pic shows the modded 650 bracket with a solid sprocket .
The 650 one is also a shorter between centres but that makes no difference to the functionality.
As far as i know i'm the only person who has done this.
