Hello from London
05 Apr 2026 12:24
Hi all
I live on the border of Essex and London in the UK, I have taken very early retirement reluctantly, i recently bought a 1975 kz in deceptively poor condition, I have downsized from a triumph tiger 1050 due to health problems, my little kz has lost its spark, hopefully i can be steered on the right path by a forum member to resolve the problem.
I also have a 1976 tr7v that gives me a lot of pleasure and has taken me across Europe.

Welcome! I would start by downloading a service manual here:

If your bike has been sitting for a while, you may just need to clean the points.
