Whats Up from MI

Hey, I am a new rider, I got a repainted KZ550 with a new battery and new tires as a trade for a project car in June. The bike had a lot of new parts but was not tuned right, didn't run right, and had clutch issues. I have fixed most of the issues and had a lot of fun riding so far. Looking for tech and performance advice here, nice to find a KZ forum. Thanks for putting up with my n00bish questions in advance!

welcome..those are strong bikes and come kinda ready to ride....as far as performance stuff...the kz550 is a strong little bike and will get going nicely when in a really good state of tune....i never had ONE!!! problem with mine and boy did i have some fun on it...great bike
