Hello!

  I bought a 1982 KZ550 as my first bike a few years ago (mistake lol). I've been tinkering on it since the previous owner "upgraded" it with Temu parts and poor maintenance. My main skill is obsessively researching without actually doing any work because I'm paranoid or something. 

I'm making this account to delay me throwing my bike into a river.

Thanks!

Finally someone like me who does obscene amounts of research and gets nothing done! Luckily you don't have to do too much research if you have a service manual for these bikes.
