New to riding!

21 Sep 2025 16:29

Hi All,
i just recently started riding a few months ago. I found and purchased a '82 KZ440 LTD that previous owner had semi-restored. Needless to say I am in love with these bikes! I am looking to gain some mechanical knowledge to maintain and perhaps restore my kz.

Welcome. I bought my first bike 15 years ago (KZ305) and soon learned that if I wanted to keep riding, I had to be my own mechanic. This is the place.
