Hello from Me and Adeline (A 1978 Kz400)
10 May 2024 18:26
Hello everyone!
I've acquired (as of yesterday!) my first motorcycle, a 1978 Kawasaki KZ400, from a local seller. I of course hauled it home and immediately just rode circles in a parking lot for two hours, and after that I've concluded that this will be a fantastic first bike aside from some electrical issues I'm running into.
Here's pics:
The previous owner swapped out the handlebars and the blinkers (which were non-functional when I bought them and are currently under repair), but I absolutely hated the old ones and opted to swap back to the originals.
My friends said it was required that I name it so I put it to a vote and they decided on Adeline, which I have inadvertently gotten in the habit of calling it.
I will promptly be in the appropriate forum to ask about the aforementioned electrical issues, as whatever I did today burnt a fuse and caused the bike to be unable to start, but other than that I'm glad to be here!
Cheers and best,
Thel
