Hi boys and girls, new to this forum, but not new to Kawasaki and other brands of bikes, I'm a motorcycle and diesel mechanic, I have over 27 years of turning wrenches, I just pickup my first dream bike, 82 Kz1300 6 cylinder, it's a little rough, but a nice project for me, If you need help on a project or repairs, please drop me a line, I will try my best to help, Thanks.
When you wakeup, give Thanks to God

Howdy. have you got any photos? I don't know much about the KZ1300, but supposedly the cam chain tensioner can be problematic, so I would look into that. Good luck with the project. :)

Hey guys, Aaron here. I am also new to this forum, as well as to the motorcycle world. I just purchased my first bike a KZ1000 P. It has some issues that need to be addressed things that I want to remove from it, but other than that its a strong running bike. I know for a fact that the cam chain tensioner needs to be replaced and that's the first order of business. So any advice would be much appreciated.

Welcome Leonard.
I second the request for pictures.

Welcome Aaron too.
Probably best to start your own thread on your bike's issues.
