Stopped at local dealer today to look at Kaw 900

Don't know much about planes in general but assuming multi cylinder engines, repair cost is not cheap for sure...not to mention other sections.
Good luck with your repair Would be curious to hear what was wrong, especially if related to the engine.

Yep. Like the CB1100, my airplane engine is a 4 cyl. air cooled engine.



This is related to an incident I had back in August. The propellor hit a raised sprinkler head at a grass airstrip. Regulations require that the engine is torn down inspected for internal damage. After disassembly, it was deemed prudent to go ahead and do a full engine overhaul instead of just reassembling with worn parts.

Insurance covered about half of the cost, but I was on the hook for about $10.5K, which happens to be exactly the amount I'd set aside for the Z900.

Thanks, looks very simple 4 cyl boxer with pushrods. Does it have 1 or 2 plugs per cylinder, with multiple ground electrodes ?? When I was a kid my father used to bring me such long plugs with screw on ignition cables.....a few of them I had in my 50cc...
I know from many articles that small plane regulations are very strict..small cuss = big back$.
Good luck with your repair, always have safe flights & rides

There are 2 plugs per cylinder and each plug is powered by a separate magneto (for redundancy). The plugs have dual electrodes and the cables are screwed on an secured with a nut.
