Old KZ guy, new member

Thanks for the ad! Been riding Kawasaki's since my twenties. First bike I ever owned was a 1973 Z1 900 followed by an 1984 KZ1100R and a 1982 GPZ1100. Unfortunately the only one I have left is the GPZ . I've had it a little over twenty years . Poor thing has been sitting under blankets for 12 years, every since I brought home a 69 Dodge Swinger, Thinking about bringing it back out, it runs, or it did when I put it to sleep. Figured if I have any issues this will be the place for answers. I'll try and post some pics of the old bikes.

Welcome to KZR, you will find the right answer to every question you ask here. You also bring back memories of when I used to deliver newspaper as a kid to a biker club, and next door to it, there was a speed shop/garage that had this lime green Dart Swinger and occasionally tested it on the street, man those rear tires smoked pretty good.

I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.
