The first thing ya got ta do is try to get it in one piece.
Wrong!
The first thing you do is buy another KZ (or two) to ride while you're wrenching on the 650. Then when those need work you buy a garage across town that your wife doesn't know about and put two more in there, and so on... :blush: :woohoo: :laugh:
Welcome aboard!

As you can see I had no garage, I did everything on the front porch with my tailgate from my truck as my workbench. It was a challenge at times but worth it.

Don't worry, nothing tends to be overly complex, its just the invaluable stuff you pick up along the way that they don't put in any books that is the hard bit
Oh, and don't get overwhelmed, just remember the old saying "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time"
Good luck!
PS- my Z1 has been parked since '96 so you're definitely not the only one in that boat!
