New to board new 82' KZ1000 ltd owner. Lovin' it.
04 Jun 2011 11:47 - 04 Jun 2011 11:49
Let me introduce myself.
I grew up in Scotland and grew up riding souped up Vespas, Lambrettas and dirt bikes. Moved to Rhode Island when I was 20 and have lived in the USA for 11 years (currently NYC). In this time I have owned a whole bunch of bikes.
A few months back I picked up an 82' Kz1000 ltd. Man do I love this machine. Runs pretty sweet as is.
I'm no full-on mechanic like a lot of you but I am mechanically minded and love to learn and get my hands dirty. I'm in no rush as I have other things going on but plan on doing a bunch of stuff to her.
Came with Kerker 4-1, Oil cooler and K&N pods.
I shall hopefully be seeking advice and recommendations from you guys. Appreciate it!
