YES - Screwed it is... With the knocking I figured I would ride it until it blows completely....
Today it blew on a main highway....

Trailered to a safe location and will relocate it tomorrow. So now I have to bikes that need rebuilt....
Checking on EBay the engines seem pricey. Seems I can get another bike for little more than what they are selling the engines for.
This weekend my internet access will be spotty at best. I am going to start a new thread as a blog when I get back on later. I will post a pic of each bike the GZ250 and the KZ550 and will post progress on both. Grant it because of work schedules no one can expect updates daily. Weekly to bi-weekly at best.
A lot less information available on the GZ250.
I do have this for the kindle -
