New guy from near Sacramento with a 74 KZ400D
08 Aug 2014 17:31
I just picked up this bobber from a neighbor of mine. It needs a front brake and getting the frame all cleaned up. It's It's a good bike with Mikuni carbs and a great throttle response.
Put a brake switch, bar end mirrors, oil change, and a headlight on it.
I did notice smoke coming out of my crank case vent tube, though. That is a new occurrence. I've read that a little is normal on hot days but I think I'm gonna do a leak down and compression test and see where I stand. I also have to do my points as well.
