DOT 4 is just a better DOT 3. TThey can be used completely interchangeably with each other. Valvoline only sells DOT 4 now and the label says "DOT 3 & 4" . DOT 4 is more heat resistant and less prone to absorbing moisture. Go with DOT 4 and stick with it.


DOT 5 is synthetic and can cause problems with seals and brake lines depending on construction and configuration, A complete overhaul and upgrade would be in order to use DOT 5.

WELL FREAKING DONE..... She sounds beautimuss!


Let me know when you're ready for a ride up the hill (Payson) or wherever for that matter....

That's exactly what I use! Seems like really good stuff. I got mine at autozone.

Thanks OMR! I want to do a few short runs around the house to make sure everything works right.

When you guys get together, can you see about taking some action video of the bikes cruising together. Maybe have a friend with a chase bike taking video of the two of you. Two unique killer KZzzzz's side-by-side!!! Would make a great video.

Better yet... Wife just got me a Go-Pro video with mounting hardware for the KZ... Oh yeah!

Looking forward to seeing this beast up close, beautifully done...LUV it.
And that pipe, I must hear, smell that exhaust... lol!

Only a matter of time now....

:woohoo:

Wow, looking very nice, & sounds Great, I think we bought our pipes the same week, 2-3 yrs. ago mine are still in the box waiting to get my project going
As far as the brake fluid goes, 4theKZ1000 got a leak in his rear M/C a year or 2 ago & it destroyed his freshly painted swing arm & some chrome, so he said he switched to DOT 5, which will not harm paint or chrome, that's what I think I'm going to use when I rebuild the M/Cs & calipers on my project to be on the safe side
cant wait for more Pics, & videos of your BAD ASS Project, looks like you're almost done, :woohoo:

Minor set back. I put my chain on tonight and uncovered a clearance issue. I pulled a nut off the rearsets stud. Does this stud come out? If not I cut it off and move on. I can't tell because of the powder coat.

The studs screw out of the frame. I use a pair of vise-locks on them to break them free but I'm sure there are gentler methods.

Later, Doug

It will come out but the chain will slap against the bushing when loose.
