New To Me Kawasaki ...

17 Aug 2025 05:39

If you know, you know ... It runs pretty well. Kinda. Had it running in the grass off the back door of my buddy's shop all was well then the sediment bowl from the petcock vibrated off and ended the party.

The rear fender is like something off a car.

Going to put modern tires on it, new wheel bearings, brakes, cables, air filter and rebuild the goofy forks and etc. I'm open to suggestions for street/trail tires ...
