Hi , It almost looks like my 1980 KZ 650 LTD, same color. Mine didn't have spark either when I went to pick it up this spring. I took the points cover off and cleaned the points and made sure they had the proper gap. It finally got spark and I was able to drive the bike home. Now I have carb problems after driving all summer. Bob U

I'm in Keswick, which is on the Southern tip of Lake Simcoe.
I've been on a few rides with a buddy who goes by the name roustabout that happens to live in Guelph. He rides a Yamaha XS650, and frequents the www.dotheton.com/ site, a local and world wide Cafe site.

Bob U, try some Sea Foam carb cleaner. Add it to your gas and it cleans as you ride.


Here's a link to a ride we had a few weeks back:
dotheton.com/index.php?topic=5473.0

We had 4 kz650s there that day!:
