Hello everyone! new member/ kz owner..

Just wanting to say hello to everyone.. I just got a great deal on a 1980 Kz750 (in my picture) 2 days ago :woohoo: .. Have yet to play with it much from working everyday .. I know I need a new battery ( had to jump it from car, but rode it up to the truck to load it after that) and a starter solenoid.. I'm fairly new to bikes and really new to kz's .. Grew up on dirtbikes so this is a big change, I have some questions but I will try to find the appropriate forum category.. Take it easy!

Congrats on the find. Getting these bikes running is a kick in the ass, and a pain in the ass. For the latter problem you've probably noticed how knowledgeable these guys are.

Enjoy the ride!

Welcome aboard! If you ever decide to jump the bike from a car (or other vehicle) make sure the car's engine is turned off. Otherwise you can easily damage the bike's electrical system. Ed

yep i pulled the battery out of the car and took it over to the bike.. on another note, i just took her for the first ride.. Rides great .. nice and smooth... went for a 20 minute ride down the backroads around here.. figured it was nice and warmed up but when i pulled to a stop and put it in neutral it shut off instead of idling.. ill have to mess around with it next day i have free time.. I'm just suprised it ran so nice after sitting in this guys garage for a year or 2.. (flushed fluids and put fresh) anyone ever use seafoam and would it be a good idea at this point?

I have used Seafoam , Good Stuff. Of course its just like Oil Everyone has an opinion and other additives good as well. Lucas has a new stronget additive supposed to be good, havnt tried it though. I would suggest given your bikes situation doubling the reccommended ratio of Seafoam to gallon of gas. Just my opinoon, others may differ. I typically do this after mine has sat all winter. Works for me. Good Luck!! TennesseeZ. Ed
