New to KZ bikes and the forum

Hi fellas. I thought I'd join this site as I just acquired a 1981 KZ550. It was a basement find not quite a barn find. I found this bike in the depths of downtown San Francisco. I was replying to a craigslist ad for free motorcycle parts and 2 free motorcycles. The owner asked if I could help him take out two motorcycles from his basement. I said sure since he just gave me some free parts. He had a 1975 cb750 and this complete 1981 KZ550 with about 9,500 miles. He also had this Kawasaki full fairing 400cc race bike that looked old and rare. Anyways, we had to literally lift both bikes out of this sunken basement. It took about 30 minutes. I sold the cb750 cuz I had two already, but never had a KZ. I did all the basic maintenance on the KZ and it started like a champ. I just need to fix the brakes and should be ready to ride.

Lucky man...you'll enjoy the 550

and welcome to KZR.

sorry about that. I'm still trying to figure out how to post pictures. Ever time I do it says the file is too big.

Welcome, there are different ways to download pictures, I use Photobucket (careful these photos will be in the public domain). You open a log-in and upload your photo, once uploaded click on the photo you want to publish in the forum and it gives you a few different options on the righthand side, use the last option by clicking on the file name, once this is done you just go to the forum and click PASTE, you can then PREVIEW and check if the photo is there'

Other members have also included instructions using other methods as well.

If you have "Paint" on your PC you can use it to reduce the picture size. Ed

Quickest-easiest way to crop/resize is using office. Right click file and that's one of your options besides paint on a PC.

MAC I have no clue.
