Just bought a 1977 KZ200A yesterday. This is my first non-Honda bike so I'm sure I'll have plenty of dumb questions, thanks in advance for your wisdom and patience.

Those are great bikes. Super simple. Even the mechanical disk brake seems to work great.

Here is a downloadable manual... good for printing out sections and working on the bike.

NICE PICK!
I especially like to see this because a guy I used to work for had one just like that.
It was mint and low miles. He chopped it up into this clown chopper and I had a hand in it.
It just killed me to do it. Putting a stock 900 rear wheel and a swingarm and using it to pull back a drag bike from the end of the track would have been OK but not a chopper. I might still have the tank? Please DON'T do that!!!
Good luck! Welcome

Do you plan on doing your own maintenance on the bike? Ed

Thanks all for the warm welcome! I think she is a nice find, she is in really nice shape but I am having some electrical issue I haven't chased down yet so I'm headed over to that section of the forum.
