ride safe y'all

mrfix · 10-03-2008

Hi all
I'm new to the forum with a 2008 VN2000 classic LT, I've been on the street for 38 years riding 39 bikes, I always have more than 1 in the stable. I always have and will always have a KLR-650, the most usefull bike on the planet. The VN2000 is a neat ride, lots of torque and lots of mass. The engine whine is a bit annoying when pulling hills in 4th or 5th gear but I assume it will quiet down as the miles add up. I'm glad I found this forum and look forward to getting involved in some great discussions.

I just cant post a picture of my bike. Why is it so hard for me. I need a good easy way of posting my pics .I have used a computer for 10 years ,and it should not be this hard to do. Thank you.

Hi There, just joined and am keen to find out some info on why my 1983 GPZ1100 has a horrible over fuelling problem, I am in the process of trying to fault find but would be very grateful of ideas on where to start looking, the only clue I have at the moment is that the bike had been sitting for a long period (a year or so)

toddadcox1 · 10-06-2008

What do you mean by over fuelling?

rendiwal · 10-07-2008

The bike has run rough since I purchased it some 6 months ago, I have unbolted the TPS and found it to be full of fuel, I some how don't think that is good. It always smells of fuel even when parked, the last 2 times I have filled the tank I have come back later and found a puddle of dried fuel underneath the airbox, it appears that the return to the tank is not working properly so I am guessing that this is the area to check first.

Marty686 · 4 Weeks Ago

Just wanted to say hi all,Ive been riding for 5 years in november,bought my zx6r brand new and my 1st big bike before this was a zxr400 L9 so i love my kawks

kerbykc · 4 Weeks Ago

Hi everbody this is my first time ever posting on a forum i hope i am doing this correctly. I recently bought a 08 vulcan 900 classic lt and really love it. I have had it 10 weeks and have put 2000 miles on it. My main question is the stock seat after about 1 hour my tailbone and surrounding area is on fire, what are the best options for helping with this.I have been looking at the mustang seat but it is pretty expensive is the kawasaki gel any good or the saddleman any help would be great.

cvansoelen · 4 Weeks Ago

Hi everybody im new to this site.
a couple weeks ago a friend of mine gave me his old dirt bike, he had started to rebuild it but never got around to putting it back together. He lost some parts and stuff but all in all everything is in good shape. It is a kv100, i cant find exact year yet but i will figure it out eventually.
So far ive fixed the frame, the kickstad fell off and a few things so i welded it up and gave it a nice new paintjob, i gotta give it some accenting yetthen she should be good to go. soon i will order parts for the engine and get er beautiful and ready to go.
I would be interested if anybody else has a kv100 to get some advice, pros and cons, anything really.
Thanks
Colin Van Soelen

Jaxxinator · 4 Weeks Ago

hey, my name is Jaxx and I just bought an 03 Vulcan 750. My first bike!

emsee · 4 Weeks Ago

Greetings. My name is Martin and i'm from Surrey in England. My first Kawasaki was a Z400 twin which i bought in 1976. I traded this in five years later for a Z750 L1, which i still own to this day!

It shares my garage with a 1999 ZRX1100 and a 1990 KLR650 Tengai. Hope to post some photos soon. Look forward to spending time on this site.
Cheers.

My 1999 Drifter has been a dream come true. Never rode a Kaw before, didn't know what I was missing.

Thanks to all for the friendly welcome
