Hi,
I've been browsing this site since June. It has been a big help to me, and because of this site and a parts diagrams from kawasaki's website, I've been able to get my first bike working. THANKS!

It's pretty cool isn't it?

Yeah, It's an LTD. The tank is off an '81 kz440, and I'm useing a seat from a honda (don't know the model). Also the LTD insignia was removed from the side covers when I got it.
It's great, this is my first bike.
I'm still having some issues w/ idle speed fluctuations. I think it's the timing, unfortunately I don't have a timeing gun. Nor would I know how to adjust it anyway (no manual), but so it goes...

Welcome plug. Yep, this is a great site and it's saved my bacon more than once. Regarding timing and a manual I think your bike is very similar to the 400 and you can find lots of stuff - maybe even a manual here www.kz400.com/index.html
Setting timing should not be difficult. I never (in the days when I had points) ever used a timing gun. It should be possible to do static timing using a 12V bulb and a few bits of wire. Trouble is I just can remember how exactly to do it but you may find out how at the 400 site.

Good luck .......and hows a bout those pics ?
