First start-up in 20 years.

#1 PostAuthor: urankjj » Mon May 25, 2020 1:01 am

My 1977 KZ-1000, (1327cc motor) first start-up after 20 years in storage. It has taken many months and much trial and error, but today was the DAY. Yay- Hoooo.

Great sounding bike after 20 years, started on the first kick, shame the video was not a little longer!

It started up nicely and then after a while looks like a fair amount of smoke.....
