My first Kwakka
Posted: Wed Jun 18, 2008 4:16 pmG'day all.
I'm getting back into road bikes after quite a break...been busy with kids, go karts and dirt bikes.
Lucky enough (I think) to pick up a 1986 GPX750R with a 'blown motor' for nicks. Turns out that the young previous owner threw away the air box and fitted Uni pod filters and a four into one but failed to make any jetting changes. Result...four badly burnt inlet valves.
Anyway, I've rebuilt the top-end, brakes and other bits and pieces and she's almost ready for the road. I understand I need a K & N Stage 3 Dyno jetting kit to get her running right with the current setup.
Does anyone know where I can pick up such a kit in Australia? I tracked one down in the Netherlands from GoParts. He wants 115 Euros (about $185 Australian) plus $105Aus freight, and a three-week wait. Sounds a bit steep to me. Any suggestions?
Also, I'm trying to track down an original airbox assembly. No luck with the wreckers or Kawasaki Japan.
Cheers
Gerry
