hello there

hello my name is tavon i reside in md just taken ownership about a month ago of a 83 kz550 ltd its a neat bike imo i currntly have a starting issue that i have posted in the carburetor section of this site entitled choke so if you guys can offer some help i would appreciate. thanks

Hi Tevon, and welcome to the forum! I think we have the exact same bike. Mine sat in a storage shed with 1995 plates on it until I got it in the fall of 2003. The 550's are great bikes. Just the nicest all-round bikes to own and ride. I especially like it's CV carbs, shaft drive, 6 spd transmission, electronic ignition, 10,000 RPM redline, reliability, pep, power and pickup, and fuel economy. I sometimes ride it with a group of Harleys and my only problem is trying not to run over them when passing cars on the highway! Motorcyclist review said - "When it appeared in 1980 the KZ550 was the first of the really potent middleweights . They are light, quick, smooth and cheap to ride." Best of luck with yours!

Welomce ot the forum! Has anyone bothered you for pix yet? If not, allow me to be the first.
