Selling my KZ1000

Post by wikked_spree57 »

I've decided that if I can't move this bike by the end of next week I'm going to fix it.

http://saginaw.craigslist.org/bar/1451768783.html

That's my craigslist ad with a few decent pictures. I don't have a price on CL but I'm asking $475 or best. I have a clear title and keys to it.

too much for you how? the weight or the power? :idea:

if it is the weight, swap in a dio and scrap that 4gasm plus half a frame for a few hundred pounds
if it is the power, swap in a dio and loose 90.2 hp
either way, a dio is the way to go :wink:

Any interest in parts from this machine? Lost interest in getting it running, would be too tempting to put motor in quad frame or build evil shifter kart...

If anyone wants something off this bike I'll ship anything anywhere or sell whole bike as is for $450.

I was able to get the bike to roll over and fire up tonight. It runs rough but it runs and the pipes sound good.

if it runs rough on fresh gas, I would start with checking the carbs: clean and synch. also, check to see if all 4 head pipes are getting hot, could be one dead cylinder.

Right two pipes are heating up, left two only get lukewarm. The carbs are gummed up I'm positive because it only runs with the choke on.
