Hello from Ohio

  Hi all. Picked up a 1975 KZ400 as a project. It has been just that. So far have replaced a bunch of parts. Found two matching 746E carbs and rebuilt those with OEM parts from Ebay. Cleaned out the tank, fixed the speedo and tach, etc, etc. So I have been lurking for a while and thought it was time to get an account and interact.

Hi Adam, welcome from the UK

Welcome to the forum!

Hi Adam, there are several of us here in Ohio, and southeast Michigan as well. We are fortunate to have AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days at Mid-Ohio in July each year to “enable” our hobby/addiction although the pickings are slim for the smaller KZs. 

Welcome from the Southeast. The 400s are fun little bikes. 

Welcome to spyshot, our latest outpatient to be infected with The Dreaded Z-Bug.

 It often starts small, like with one KZ 400.  It only takes one.

  However...

   Often, The Dreaded Z-Bike affliction progresses to multiple, Z-bikes, even larger ones, along with Z-Bike parts, manuals and arcane Z-Bike knowledge, at which time the sufferer usually becomes a KZR inpatient, searching among us fellow Z-Bug sufferers for advice & understanding unavailable among the common hordes of Standard Citizens.

   You're among friends now.  We understand.

Good Ridin'

Hi Adam, and welcome from New Zealand. A little further away than most.
Rich.

Welcome in!

Where about in Ohio?  I spent my childhood in SE Ohio and went to college in Akron before moving to the StL area in 2014.

Later, Doug

That's what brought me to KZR: a '79 KZ400. It's all been downhill since then The first actual Z in my life was (is) the '81 GPz550 I bought in 1992. 

Anyway, welcome to the forum, spyshot!

Welcome Adam.
Nice kz400 in blue.
My favorite colour.
