Newbie Here was created by OutsiderKZ900A4
Hello all. I am new to the KZ scene, at least the big bore KZ scene. I am looking for a resource to learn more about this bike and more importantly the tuning of it (low end and midrange) so here I am

I am not new to motorcycles. My first love is Kawasaki triples but I have always wanted a Z1 and this is probably as close as I will be able to get to one. My other two daily riders are a 2000 ZX12R and a ZRX1100 of the same year. Guess you could say I bleed Kawasaki green. :P

Here is my 1976 KZ900:

No real difference between the z1 and kz; other than price cosmetics, carbs gauges... Erm, yeah close enough :dry: anywho the kzs tend to be better riding bikes, thicker frame tubes, little upgrades along the years and the 76's are becoming sought after to. nice clean bike you got there.

A lot of us on here like the triples to, I bought a 74 750 last year, torn apart for a long term resto now

my bikes; 80kz1000(project), 77 gl1000, 74 h2 (project)
Past; 78 kz1000, 83 kz550

Welcome to KZR Outsider!
There's no need to use photobucket here as long as your photos are smaller than 2 megs. I don't know what was wrong with your link. I just attached the photo to your post.

Thank you, KZCSI. I tried attaching a picture bit each time it wouldn't let me make the post.

I did that, probably 3 or 4 times and it didn't like it at all.
