CSR Representin PA Here!!!

Hey guys! My names Michael and I am a proud owner of a 1981 650 CSR running project that I got in a trade. Im in no way new to motorcycles but I am new to Kawasaki. Im really looking forward to meeting people here and getting to know alot more about my bike so I can have this thing ripping around in no time! I am definately going to need help with this thing because its no where near original. Ive been trying to look at pics online and determine what these different parts on this bike are. From what I gathered so far, the frame is a 1981 KZ650H, the motor is a 750 out of a KZ750LTD, and the carbs looked like they resembled KZ1000 carbs but when I looked up the 650 CSR carbs they look the same as well. Anyways, I guess discovery will be half the fun with the bike! Sorry for the long intro, heres some pics!!! See you all around the forum!!!

Welcome!!

Looks like a good platform to start with. And trust me, the answers are all here, all you need to do is ask.

A fellow PA local, nice. Whereabouts? I'm in Harrisburg.

Good luck with the project, and make sure to keep us updated...(we like pics, reading is hard for some of us) :woohoo:

Thanks for the welcome and nice to meet you! Im in Reinholds PA, its about 10 mins from Reading. I am definately excited to get this project rolling and Im so glad theres a site like this for me to get the answers I am definately going to need! I will definately get pics, mainly because I love to look back and see the transformations my projects go through until I hit the end result!

Nice! I cant wait til I can be riding mine! I got to ride it home and can tell Im already loving how it rides! Once I get my carbs squared away and a set of air filters Ill be good to go!

The carburetors are probaby the stock VM24s w accelerator pump from the 650-CSR. You could post of photo of them or look around the wgcarbs site.
