TOPIC:

I just picked up quite a project of a kz650. I'll probably be picking a few of your brains in the near future.

Welcome aboard. Trust me...you'll find plenty of help here. I'm a fairly new member meself and have gleaned a plethora from these guys already. Throw up some pics of your bike so we can see what you're dealin' with.

Welcome. And yes, put up some pix.

Check through the Archives section as just about everythings been covered in there.

Here's what it looked like before I took it apart last night...

This thing is a mess... wiring was completely rigged and a lot of the parts were stuck in place instead of bolted or tied down but it did indeed run when I picked it up so it can't be too bad off.

Well, it doesn't look too bad, from the outside...if you haven't yet done it, buy a shop manual off of eBay. Given the choice, buy a KHI (Kawasaki Heavy Industries) first, then a Haynes, then a Clymer (my opinion only). You will be able to find Clymers pretty cheap, but you may be able to get a KHI from between US$10.00 and $30.00. The manuals are fairly straight-forward.

Looks like a perfect project bike.
