Toronto here

Hi guys,

Jack from Toronto. Got myKZ550 A in 2001. Haven't ridden since 2003 as I fried the rectifier I think. I boosted the darn thing off a car and all I saw was smoke. Anyhow I'm about to start fixing everything as I need the bike up and running in 2 weeks.

I'll be fixing the electrical problem, changing the front rotor (it's on it;s last) tires and I'm thinking of overhauling the engine.

So yeah thats about it.

Yeah a meet in the GTA would be awsome. 2 weeks then eh :) Ok im getting to work, thank God I got an online job at home so I can sneak down fairly often.

Thanks for the welcome TTYL

By the way, its considered very friendly to have your model, year and location in your signature. Helps with feedback too.

Best of success.
