globemaster, if you are inclined, could you please tell us a bit about your time in Japan/ What sort of engineering were you involved with? What were your impressions of the KZ1300 ? I guess the bike must have attracted a lot of attention in Japan in those days, as that model was not sold in the domestic market.
Thank you.

Ditto. You've piqued my interest as well.

what are those pressed metal plates with slots in? I don't have those - at least I don't think I do - it's been a while since I had clutch cover off

Those are the baffle plates discussed earlier in the thread; some models / oil capacities had them to combat frothing oil.
