I'm getting my old KZ13 running after sitting since 1996. Been in dry storage and looks to have survived well
Do I need to put a ZX11 Can Chain Tensioner in? Bike only has 8800 miles on it. What else should I look for? It MAY be FS...Thanks!

Very important to modify or replace the tensioner. Expensive engine damage can result from failure of the original design.
