The exterior has been repainted, so it’s extremely clean.

There are no fin cracks. The spark plugs go in smoothly and tighten securely.
The exhaust studs are M8. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crankcase is KZT00EE (Z1000ST) shaft type.
There appears to be basic compatibility, and since it’s in good condition and easy to source, the ST is being used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside the head cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since it hasn’t run, it’s in clean condition.
The tachometer takeoff is not included. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cam sprocket is an APE adjustable type.
It’s nice because later adjustment is easy (‘\u03c9’)\u30ce<\/p>\n\n\n\n
