New from IL

Hey everybody, newbie here to the KZ family. I just picked up a non-running, but clean '75 KZ400 at a swap meet for 250 bucks. 5,000 miles on the odometer. Motor is free and everything is there. Guy who sold it said it ran fine before it sat in a barn for the last 6-7 years. I am looking forward to getting the old girl up and running and making it my own. This will be a new experience for me, since I've only owned well running motorcycles that only needed basic maintenance before. Can't wait!


Here is the only pic I got so far, right after I got it off the truck... and yeah, I got that sweet helmet at the swap meet for 8 bucks too... couldn't resist! lol



Cheers!

Welcome to KZR...you might also wish to spend some time on the KZ400 site...that site owner recently passed away but the site lives on. www.kz400.com

Welcome to KZR! Looks like a really complete bike for $250. Did you get a title for that price? I bet with a carb cleaning, oil change, and a proper tune up, it will start up.

Welcome to world of KZ! The small twins are very neat little bikes. They have a nice classic look to them. The 400's are pretty bullet proof, souldn't need more than Testarosa suggested to make it go. I would reccomend a finding a Factory Shop Manual. Kawasaki's manuals are very good, much better than the Haynes or Clymer's. Good luck with your new bike. Keep us posted.
