I have always wanted a KZ1000 of sorts and came across this '82 LTD. The only other vintage bike I have owned is a XS1100 but wanted chain drive. The last bike I owned was a '03 FZ1. It's not quite as clean as the pictures show but with a good cleaning and some polishing it will probably look as...
Back in September, I bought myself a winter project. http://www.fotothing.com/photos/44f/44f9acfd537a2bf377f8083375aa0c8d_228.jpg http://www.fotothing.com/photos/d9a/d9aa897af280e78d47d9f419840369b8_228.jpg 78 Z1R, in reasonably compleat condition. The motor turned over, when asked if it...
okay, so i took the bike out today, and it's running lean in the left cyl and the bike just doesn't have the UMPH it used to have, it struggles to get up hills, etc... i adjusted the air fuel screws on the carbs to no avail, it's idling great! no backfiring or anything, that i can hear. ...
I bought a kz440 that had been sitting up for a few months. It had bad gas so I drained and cleaned the tank and cleaned the carbs. It is getting spark and seems like it is not getting fuel through the carb into the intake. It is getting into the bowls of the carbs. I dont know if I missed...
Every time I want to ride, the bike I chose has a mechanical problem. It doesn't matter which of the three it is. My wife has been bugging me for years to get rid of those old bikes and buy a new/er one. If it is one problem, it is another. Never the same problem twice. I have stocked just...
hey guys im new to kawasaki bikes but heard good things about em so when i found a 1980 kz750 for sale at the low price of $250 i just had to say sold. now im wondering just what i got into cuz the last time i did that it was a major mistake! just wondering if these are reliable and what problems...
I`m going about 40mph my speedometer on my 84 gpz750 reads 100! Any tips on how I can recalibrate it? Thank You.
Just got myself a Kawasaki zn 700 ltd, and must say it's a smashing bike. Got a problem, it wasn't well looked after by the previous owner who admitted to knowing nothing about bikes(not that I know much more, but I'm prepared to muck in) The problem I have is that the bike will not idle in...
Have a friend who has the voyager and he has always taken it to a shop to get the oil changed and does not know where to put in the oil. I helped him on his brakes and now he wants to change his own oil. Anyone with the info? Pics would be an added blessing.
First post..... I recently (month ago) bought my first motorcycle. I feel fortunate at this point that I got a '78 kz650 B2. It is mostly stock as far as I can tell. It has just under 25k on it and It ran well when I bought it. It has some minor cosmetic issue but nothing major. See it...
Anyone have this info,,,need to know the measurements on this swingarm ( it's an H1) Looking to swap into another bike and need to know the H1 Specs. Thank you http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b266/brookridgefarms/h1.jpg
Wired George has had my carbs for 4 months. I know he's a busy guy and in demand when it comes to the vintage carbs. Was wondering if anyone in here had him do a set and how long did it take. Thanks.
i recently had the bike running perfect, but i checked the diaphrams on the carbs and now the bike wont go above 30MPH, has no power at all and is running lean on the clutch side - plug is white. 1981 kawasaki kz440 ltd any ideas?
Hi there, I have a 1980 KZ750H1 and at the end of last year it developed a slight ticking sound. Since then it sat around over winter and after I cleaned the carbs, I fired it up and brought it back. Now the ticking sound is a bit louder and it increases with the rpms. I'm guessing it's the...
Hello! I am brand new to the forum and just by browsing have already picked up quite a few tips. (Thanks!) I am the proud owner of a 1980 KZ550 LTD and it is my first bike. A few days ago while riding, I hit a size-able pothole but kept on going not thinking too much of it. That night while...
Hello all! I am new to the forum as well as riding. I bought my first bike a 1981 kz750 ltd and am having problems. I try to start the bike on Full choke and let it idle but she just boggs down and dies either when shes full chocked or choke off. When I finally get it warmed up after one hand on...
As the title says.......What is the largest tire I can mount on the stock rims on my KZ750E?? Also, what tires have you had luck with?? I know it's not all about size:lol:........But bigger does look better...... Thanks................
73 900 Z1 been sitting since 83. Needs seat, exhaust and cylinders. Engine is disassembled but the rest of the bike is intact. Very clean for the year with very minimal pitting. Trying to get an idea of value, contemplating selling it. Thanks in advance for the feedback. Terry
Recently picked this up and it's my first sport bike :oops:. I rode dirtbikes alot when I was younger so i'm hoping I don't wreck it when I get my leg over it for the first time. It has a 4 into 1 kerker and racing cams so I may have bit off little more than I can chew, haha. Edited. Decided...
