New member. 1980 KZ1300

Greetings to all. Just picked up a complete bike and a parts bike in pieces, Site is highly helpful lots of accurate info. Thanks to all involved. My name is Dave Groves I am located in Ohio. Have been a MC nutcase for 43 yrs. I own a 1976 KZ900, 1985 Vmax and have added the most wicked sounding Muscle bike around in my own opinion. This bike had carbs and ignition system hacked on and was sold cheap cause it wouldn't run. All boiled down to 3 valves with no clearance. Be a good ohio winter project. Thanks again for needed tech articles. Dave

Welcome David and a good investment especially with a parts bike

Yea parts bike has been good to me already. Got everything dialed in parked it and the next day lost fire to #3&4 cyls. Had to use spare ign pickup. Thought the igniter crapped out cause somebody had Accel coils and ballast resistor still wired in. The coils were in the rear storage compartment with 4 ft long plug wires. Took a weeks worth of work just to get all the ugly off this bike.621
