daddy didnt raise no fool.

Hi, All,

Just got my first street bike.
I can honestly say its the first time i used ebay with no problems at all.

it was all but expected that my first bike be a kz, as my dad raised me on a '75 z1-b. i loved that bike and always wanted to ride it. he got me a kdx200 instead and i drove that bike through the grass for years. my new 650 is everything i could ask for. but i dont have to explain myself you guys know what i mean.

The bike is a 79 kz650 sr in that beautiful candy persimmon red. its in real good shape as it seems, the guy i bought from is an avid dirt biker, and a farm boy with lots of toys he fixes up. i got the bike, a different set of pipes, a whole extra engine block, and a box full of gaskets chrome pieces and filters for a good price. take a look at the pics and say hey.

also, im thinking of doing some modification, nothing serious, just tinkering a little to learn some things. any suggestions to make this great bike better are appreciated.

Uh Oh another guy with a KZ650 thats two in the last day I'm afraid Bad Kaw's head is going to explode.:laugh: Welcome to the board.

Welcome!
Post your location in your sig line. Maybe you've got some KZRiders in your town. Don't forget, newbie buys the first round!

Oh, and.... PICs, please!

Welcome my friend. As far as mods go i have not done that much except the re-power coil mod and Dyna electronic ignition and that made it run like a new bike.

Welcome.

I've been constantly changing things on my 650 over the years. It's a never ending cycle. Just hold onto any parts you remove in case you want to go back.

Suspention items may be a good start, as the stock units need looking into over time.

Oh, and yes, bring on the pictures!

Another 650.
Mods I have on my bike are:
110 mains
17.5 pilots
dyna green coils
regap plugs to .035
pod filters
4-1 exhaust
shaved head, 155 cranking compression
Electronic pick-up
All of these upgrades made a difference in power band. I think I've squeezed just about all I can out of my lil 650. Oh wait I can still advance the cams cause of the shaved head:evil: :evil:
