Been lurking for a long time, but it's time to get the 400 back on the road, so i figured it was time to take the plunge. I've owned many bikes through the years, sport, dirt, and otherwise... Current bikes are a '75 KZ400S, '81 XSEleven, and 2 Trail 70's that my grandpa bought new back in '69 & '70. The KZ appers to be all original, except maybe the exhaust? '75 KZ400S & '81 XS1100

Looks like the KZ400 external is in great shape! the intake is modified with aftermarket filters if I am seeing the picture correctly. You may have the original intake someplace? nice bike and welcome again. 1978 Kawasaki KZ200

Welcome. I'm a big fan of the KZ400. It's a really fun bike to ride. Not all that powerful but small and light and well, different.
I need to get mine back on the road...

And yes, the exhaust is not stock. Originally, the S models would have gotten a 2-into-1 exhaust exiting on the right side. 1981 KZ550 D1 gpz. Kz550 valve train warning. Other links.
