Wow! You really put in a lot of time and money into the z200, it looks fantastic! I have a 78 kz200 that I bought last year and am close to finishing its rehabilitation. New tires, plug, air filter and oil / filter is what it needed. The timing and both valves were off also. Mine runs pretty good I was able to get up to 73 mph yesterday. I still need to source a headlight and a few other small cosmetic updates. I’m very pleased with my kz and plan on keeping it. Thanks for the look into your awesome videos!🎉

Thanks for your comment. Yes, it's a lovely wee thing!

Good KZ you build. Here in my country that KZ200 named Binter Merzy. Binter is short from Bintang Terang was the company name who imported the Kawasaki from Japan from 1980-1986. And I have 3 KZ200 1982 😃, super strong well made bike, one of them i've owned since 2004

That's really interesting, I will look them up! Thanks for watching the video

The casing on the kickstart side looks like an later model, with a small removable cover for the oil filter. On the earlier models you had to remove the whole casing and the kickstart to get to the filter.

Yes, I think it was the in-between model! I do like having the kickstart and the electric. Weather getting better now so will get her a good run.

Super job John.

Thanks Andy, yes, I think it is pretty much sorted for nice wee runner now!

I always use a little WD40 on the tyre/rim makes fitting a bit easier.
