TOPIC:

Hello there, I have had a KZ650F1 now for a few months. It had been stored a long time (I was told 13 years, it had 12k miles on the clock) and I have taken much knowledge from you guys already to get it to a better place. I've been doing 30 miles a day probably on average 4 days a week and it has been very much a running project until now - but that's for another post.

So - hello, happy new year, and thank you for all previous advice.

(Pictures when I clean it, maybe.)

Welcome to KZR Mark!

Welcome Mark! Glad to see you made it:)

Welcome, and yes, pix. The F models are nice 650s.

Welcome to THE site for all things KZ Mark.

So are you saying that maybe you'll post pics of your bike, or that maybe you'll clean it?


Sorry, I just had to ask.

Thanks for the welcome.

It's blue, stock paint, stock nearly everything as far as I can tell. In fact it's so stock that I removed the original front brake line to replace it with braided, they have dates on them and this one was 11/79. The brake fluid was brown jelly (but it still stopped, eventually) - one of the reasons I believe the long storage wasn't bull.

Um, maybe I'll clean it actually - then post pictures, our roads haven't been salted yet and the build up of grime is protective isn't it?

Dirty pictures just don't seem appropriate.

Will be posting elsewhere soon due to a sudden change in running condition. ie not.

Pic should be in gallery - maybe - I tried anyway.

Dirty pictures just don't seem appropriate.

Since when?
