Question 1: Someone tried to steal my bike?
Answer: Reset fuels screws to 2.5-3.0 turns out. Back out the idle screw before starting. Good luck and hopefully that is all they did.

Question 2: I need a new battery. Which brand?
Answer: Both of us like Yuasa. We like to buy them and fill them ourselves. Slow charge is best.

Question 3: Need new carbs for 74’ KZ400.
Answer: Sure they make VM28 kits for your model.



Question 4: GS850 valve guides
Answer: Contact machine shops, maybe they have valve guides that are cheaper. I’d recommend machining the seats after new guides are installed.
