Just joined to learn more about my bike and the inline 4 kawi engine. I have had my 85 for about 6 weeks now. I do all my own work on my bikes except mounting tires.

Hello, dmrcflyr2, and WELCOME to KZr!
Looking forward to your participatition.
Handsome bike! Thanks for the pics.

Good Fortune!

Is that chameleon paint looks brown in the first pic then blue in the second. Love that paint its awsome, but pricey. :S

Long story. Short version is the bike was purchased in a maroon color, pretty nice paint job. Then in the process of cleaning my tank for sealing acetone destroyed the paint on the tank. I decided to repaint the entire thing. It is a Duplicolor rattle can job with Clear EFFEX. It cost about $60 total. The base color was some Toyota pearl blue. the Clear EFFEX adds the color shifting quality.

Here is a bit more about my bike. Purchased about 6-8 weeks ago with 13,042 on the odo. Since then I have done the following to it:
-Change oil
-replace fork oil
-replace final drive oil
-inspect air filter. It had a KN filter in it.
-replace rear brake pads
-inspect front brake pads, still had plenty of life left
-flush and replace front and rear brake fluid
-sealed fuel tank; and in process destroyed paint on tank.
-repainted tank, side covers, and rear fender
-polished front fork lowers.
-remove automatic cam chain tensioner and replaced with a Krieger manual tensioner.
-begin polishing all AL engine parts.
-fight with a leaking oil pressure switch, I'm losing...
-replaced stock horns with plasti-chrome units from Harbor Freight.

Here is a bigger pic after new paint.
