new KID in town...

Hey guys, new here. I was browsing around for info/parts/knowledge about my rebuild, and I came across this site. I was browsing around for a few weeks and finally said shoot, I need to join ")...


Anyways, I am only 17 and don't ride street bike (parents won't let me have a license yet), but that is ok. I am the mechanic in the family. I am currently rebuilding my dads 76 KZ900 A4, which has been sitting since 87 when my mom made him stop riding (older brother was born!)

I am still in high school with a 3.4GPA, so I am a good kid (lol), and LOVE LOVE LOVE to work on motors. I ride a 2002 CR250 (dirt bike), and compete competitively at NAHA Hillclimbs. I do all my own work on pretty much everything, my dirt bike, street bikes, cars, whatever it be. I love the computer and I love talking about bikes.

I hope to learn alot more information from this site (definitely stuff to learn here..), and also plan on helping others out. Just thought I would say hello, and very happy to be here.

FWIW, dads bike I'm restoring...

Welcome to the site. where are you located?

Nice ride you got there!

I'm in Concord, CA- about 30 miles east of San Fransisco.

Thanks, my dad kept good care of the bike, all that dirt and dust crap is from the 20 years of sitting.


On a side note, I noticed that my original post was edited by "kzrider", I'm assuming a mod. I am pretty sure he edited it to downsize the picture, so I was wondering what size that is, so for further pictures I post, I can size them correctly

click on the {help} button at the top of the forum page, it'll tell you everything you need. I think 550 pixels wide will fit, but 500 is an easy number to remember.

Welcome! What a cool bike to have to play with! You're lucky to have such a good head start. My dad never had any cool things like that to work on.

I've been reading your other posts... u need a manual bud! It will help you take a few extra steps you hadn't thought of to really get the bike going good. (Such as getting a good valve seat fit)

Oh, and add your location to your signature line. Again, welcome! Cheers!

Matt

welcom to z-jungle(tm)nice bike;)

Welcome to the site! Have a great time getting that bike on the road.

Luck is for people who don't work. Success is for those who do. Best of success!

Double post. See it can happen to anyone... OK me more than most.
