The End (6/29/09)

Well, my life has been turned upside down in the last month and a half. I got kicked out of my house meaning I have been homeless for about a month. I have fixed the starter, but the starter solenoid burned out in the process. No big deal really, they are cheap and easy to replace, and I can still start the bike by bridging the contacts. The right side carb to airbox coupler was so deformed and hardened that I could not get it back on. I found a cheap fix at the local hardware store though... I went to the plumbing section and got a 2" to 1.5" rubber coupler. I had to cut off a section at each end, but the thing works perfectly. The bike is 100% operational at this point minus the starter solenoid.

The crap part is that now that I have finally worked out 99% of the problems with this bike, I am forced to sell it. I both need the money, and do not have a place to store it. I have not even had a chance to bring it outside my little neighborhood or get it past 45mph. I had full hopes that this would be my starter bike, but it doesn't look like it is going to happen. It has been quite an adventure the short time I have owned this bike, and it has been a very rewarding experience. I hope I can own another bike in the future, but for now, I'm just a normal driver. I have to give huge thanks to you guys at the Kawasaki Twin Owners forum, the KZRider forum, and the Vintage Kawasaki forum... with out your help, I would have sold the bike for parts. I am interested in this bike and everything that goes with it going to a good home, so if interested, it is for sale. Contact info can be found here on this blog.

I will leave this blog up for as long as it stays up for the general information and discoveries I have made in my short motorcycle journey. Thank you and have a great day!
