Hey guys so probably a stupid question, but my bike ('82 KZ750N1) has been in storage for the last 3 months or so. I just moved down to Puerto Rico and the bike is getting shipped down here. In order to meet requirements for the freight company, I had to remove the fuel tank and disconnect the fuel hoses.

When the bike gets here, what do I need to do in order to prime the carbs?

Thanks

Nothing special needed. Just fill the fuel tank and turn the petcock to "Pri" and the carbs will fill with fuel. Ed

Hmmm seems too easy to be true.....EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION lol jk cool thanks guys. Can't wait to take this lady around the island. Only thing is...I gotta wait for the crate to get here, offload it, get the bike back to my house without getting a ticket, get my motorcycle endorsement because my Florida endorsement doesn't transfer for some reason (which means riding my bike to the testing course without getting a ticket because they don't provide the bikes there and I don't know anyone else that rides down here) and paying excise tax on the import and registering the bike and so on and so forth so I should be up and riding by sometime later this decade lol
