I had read a thread last year I believe was on Kawasaki twins forum about changing over to chain and sprockets. That forum is gone now so I'm hoping someone has info. My belt is frayed on the side and can't find a used or new one. HELP!

Hi

Rear sprocket mountings are same for chain and belt
-> no problem changing

Front sprocket would be a little tricky

Kawa has changed the output shaft
- older ones had tooth with a nut; fixing sprocket with a special thoothed lock plate
- newer had a winding for the safety-nut holding the belt-sprocket

So if You want to convert from belt to chain You need:

- chain-kit for gpz305 (or sprockets from old Kawa like GPZ400; KZ250; KZ400... and chain-per-meter)
- Some selfmade securing plate

the front-sprocket must be adjusted with some washer on output shaft; teh original sprocket is not symmetrical but slightly dislocated away from engine to let the chain run in line

Look here: http://www.lothi.org/forum/gpz-305/viewtopic.php?t=810
and there: http://www.lothi.org/forum/gpz-305/viewtopic.php?t=1021

And check on Kwak USA homepage in Parts lists difference between EX305-B1 and KZ305-A1 transmission (transmission shaft end)
