No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationSince you plan to perform your own maintenance, you need to get a Kawasaki Service Manual. Every KZ owner should have one - they are worth their weight in gold. Here's one on eBay that includes the 1982 KZ550 LTD (KZ550-C3).



Here are some other tips that you may find helpful:
