New guy from Toronto

Hey everyone. Kiril, from Toronto. I'll lead with the awkward part, since my handle gives it away anyway: I built ShopDog, a small tool that digs repair answers out of factory service manuals. There's AI in it, and I'm guessing that word doesn't win many friends around here (which is completely fair). Confidently wrong advice on a fifty-year-old bike is worse than no advice, so it was built backwards from that fear: answers come from the manual, the specs and torque numbers are over 99% accurate, and when the manual doesn't have an answer it says "the manual doesn't cover this" instead of improvising. The KZ1000 is one of the bikes it covers, which is what first brought me to this board. Here's my deal as a guest in your house: that's the last time I mention it. My goal is to use the tool to answer forum questions as they come up as a way of showing value. So if there's a post made by me in response to anyone's question, it was written by ShopDog. Mods, if you'd rather handle me through Vendor classification, I'm glad to do it properly. And if the honest answer is that the community would rather I didn't post here at all, I'll respect that and quietly show myself out.Mostly, though, I'm here as a guy with a '79 Shovelhead I'm turning into a chopper, which has humbled me on carbs, charging, and one memorable transmission seal. So you'll find me in the forums, trying to give back a little of what forums like this one taught me. Anything I quote will have been checked against the factory manual before I hit post.Glad to be here, however long you'll have me.
