+1... they have, or can get it all. I recommended calling in, I normally end up talking to rob, great Guy. You may be able to save a dollar or two on eBay, but support this company if possible. I am of the opinion that they have kept more of these kz's running in the states than anyone else.Motor Head wrote: www.z1enterprises.com/Home.aspx

Does the bike have a rear drum brake?

Rear brake shoes. So, it's a 650-B2 ? If you don't know the age of the brake shoes, replace them. The adhesive that binds the linings to the shoes can fail over time, so a lining can separate & get jammed between the shoe & drum, locking the rear wheel. It happened to me, so it does happen. It's an age issue --- mine looked good. I would get oem or Vesrah (made in Japan). It has been reported that some aftermarket shoes don't fit right (ebc?).
I installed Vesrah VB-412 brake shoes. I believe all 650s w a drum brake use the same shoes. Because others had reported problems w brake squeal (different brand?), I sanded the leading edges of the shoes & also sanded the glazing off the drum --- very carefully & evenly --- no squeal.
{do not breathe the dust & do not contaminate the wheel bearings}
Lubricate the pivot points w brake caliper grease --- I use the Permatex product in the little packets.
