Hi.

My name is Bob Montgomery.

I am 69 yo and live with my wife in Falmouth, Maine.

Currently own a 1975 Kawa Z1-B 900 for last 20 years. 

In past, I owned a 1977 Honda CB550 four and a Honda CB350.

I have limited workspace and general knowledge for tuneups and repairs but my repair shop closed, so needing advice on the bike. Cheers!

Welcome from central Massachusetts, from a 70 yo with a Z1A (for 45 years!).  I have family in the Nobleboro area, so I'm familiar with your region.  Lot of nice rides along the coast!
This is the place for any answers you may need.  You're not a new owner, but look up Nessism's post "New owner things to know" for some good information.

Welcome to KZRider....from south-central Texas. I bought a new Z1B in 1975 and like an idiot, traded it in on a 1977 KZ1000A1...which did not treat me well.
