Hi guys! Thanks for the add. I've been lurking for a while but this is my first post.

This is my first Kawasaki, and also my first bike in over 10 years. 1981 Kawasaki KZ440 LTD. I bought it a couple of weeks ago for $50 with a clean title. There was rust in the tank and the seat was hammered. It hasn't ran in 8 years. I sourced a whole basket case parts bike for $40 with a rust free tank and like new seat and side panels. I bought a battery and discovered the engine has compression and spark in both cylinders. I'm cleaning the carbs today.

Welcome. Nice little bike. Something to work with. Surprising what a little paint and polish will do. B)

Welcome, 440s are tough little engines as long as the oil and gas are clean.
