another new one
22 Aug 2009 16:47
Hello everyone I'm Pat and new to the KZ world . Although I've had other bikes in the past this my first Kawasaki and the first bike I've had in a long while , so please be patient .![:) :)](/media/kunena/emoticons/8.png)
I recently purchased a 1978 KZ650 and other than the rear caliper seizing up I've been having a blast putting some clics (miles) on it , this weekend it rolled over 18000 KM , so far so good ! I've done an oil change , plugs , clutch cable and plan to do the valves tomorrow
Anyhow folks I'm looking forward to being a member and learning what I can from everyone and hopefully one day I'll be able to help someone in return . I hope the picture I think I uploaded isn't to big it's from the day I pic up the bike !
Take care.
Pat

Welcome Pat.
Great find there on the 650.
Looks like a '78 C2 model. Kinda what mine is supposed to look like.
Great bikes the kzs. You should get many happy kms out of her.
