'82 KZ550 LTD Issues was created by Hawkeye950
Im having a couple of problems with my 550 LTD. First, the left fork seal is leaking. Does anyone know of a detailed how to to take to forks off to change those out and where I could get replacements? Another problem is that the trip meter will not go over 9.9 miles. It just rotates the decimals once it gets up to 9 miles after reseting it. Does anyone know what could be causing this? And last, I would like to find a sissy bar for the bike. Are there any after market bars today that will fit it or do I need to find a bar that was made specifically for the bike?

Thanks for any help!

Buy the genuine Kawasaki shop manual for your bike (should be available reasonably priced on eBay). There are detailed instructions on how to replace a fork seal. Check with www.z1enterprises.com for seal availability

Sissy bars may be available on eBay...patience will reward you as it may take a while for one to be offered for sale.

There are several members who rebuild speedo units...perhaps one of them will chime in.
