Greetings from Northern VA

Meet the Red Dragon. I got it in May and have been tinkering, reading, learning and DIYing since....got a lot of good info from this and a few other forums from some good ol' google searches. I've changed about 4 inner tubes , changed the oil (due for another soon), drained and filled master cylinder, changed the battery...think that's about it...for now.

I just bolted and bungeed this water sealed toolbox onto the luggage rack so i can tote around my lunch pail and work items without hauling a backpack around.

Red Dragon out.

Welcome aboard. You may want to buy an inexpensive (less than $20) bottle jack for working on the front of the bike. You just set it under the front of the engine with a small piece of wood between it and the oil pan (to protect the fins on the oil pan) and jack it up until the front tire is off the ground. That leaves you plenty of space around the forks for any work you may perform. Also, it is essential for changing fork oil because that task requires the forks to be fully extended. You don't need a big jack, a little cheapie one works fine, just make sure it's short enough to fit under the engine. Ed

Hey there....I'm in the Arlington area and just started wrenching on an '81 KZ750 that hasn't been started in 15 years. Just saying wassup and welcome to the forum.
