'80 KZ1000 MKII video 2 -- Competent repair or BONE-HEAD BUTCHERY? 

3.22.25. Another entertaining video by Tom! Lol. Seriously you work on other peoples bikes like you own them❗️ you are so thorough in your methods and how you craft solutions🎯 Every time I get a notification of a video you post, I immediately start watching it. You don’t put forth any half baked®️attempts on repairing, and I like that, I’m a little bit like that myself. That’s why I probably don’t think that your videos are too long.

Glad to see you up and errrr "running" again . Hoping your well .missed your contents

Glad you and the wife are feeling better. Hell of a job on that head, the amount of detail you provide is priceless. love the longer videos.

Awesome content!! Glad you are feeling better, nothing worse than being under the weather so to speak. Thank you !!!

Love your videos BECAUSE of all the detail, you have a great way of getting the true engineering side across, quality of jokes not so good... :)

Very good and informative video. Thanks for all that work You put onto making it for us to enjoy! I wonder why new seats cost so much. I've seen it done a couple of times, and it didn't seem like that much trouble? Stay healthy and watch Your fingers at the mill...😝

I'm happy to see you took my advice and didn't die when you were sick.

Great work, glad you on the mend...

Great video. I’m glad you and your wife are on the mend. Cheers.

God bless you I hope you and your family stay healthy, I love your videos.

Hey Tom I just purchased the 2002 police motorcycle...I started watching your video and realized it was the same bike. I'm thankful for your knowledge and attention to detail. Love the bike. Hopefully we could catch up sometime and chat. God bless you and your family Amen 🙏🏼

yess! you said it the valveseats were ground tooo deep .that sets all measures out !

glad your both better,what a pain of a job i would have gone for new head(if could find a good one)

Glad to hear you & the wife are feeling much better. You did a great job on repeating the head getting it back up & running. I have been wrenching k restoring Kawi triples & big fours since the early 70’d & know just how much work & effort it takes for you to do this worn on these old classic bikes that have mult issues along with mult people screwing them up prior to you working on them. Keep up the good work & great videos you put out I enjoy watching. Btw,have you got any more of the 26mm Mikuni carb holders you Ii mfg’d avail for sale? If yes I’d like to buy one so please leave contact info so I can buy it from you. Thanks,scott

Glad you are both feeling better, absolutely great video. engineering and bikes. Great content and info didn't mind the length of the video in the slightest. It's brilliant that you managed to solve the problem and save the engine. Can't wait for your next video. Thanks for sharing

good to see you're back, I was wondering where you've been! Always look forward to your videos.

Hope your health is better

Those valve guides mean she's been in ""Bad Hands". !!!!

You hurt my tiny brain.

I think I might know who screwed up the original valve guide install. Had the same issue and same explanation on one of my heads. “That happens sometimes, don’t worry about it.”

Hey Tom I'm about to strip and rebuild a 76 KZ900 engine. On the cam cap bolts it sounds like the thread is a common point of failure, I see you torqued them up lower than factory spec, do you think it would be a good idea for me to do this on mine to not run that risk of stripping them and maybe put a dab of thread lock on them? Glad you are better keep the videos coming I really enjoy them!

U don't no what u r buying 2nd hand do u some times alot of trouble jobs well done hopefully better than new 😂😮😊

1st
