1980 KZ650E
Hello from Texas! was created by Greasedmonkey
Hey all, I just recently picked up my first motorcycle from a friend. I got a 1980 KZ650e. Ill be learning everything for this build. For now I just want to get it back in running order and ridable. Its been sitting for a year or so and was laid over by another owner.
Here are some pictures I took when I finally got it home.

Yes, only year for the 1980 650E1 LTD.
There was apparently an '80 D model LTD as well, which had a 16" rear wheel, the E model LTD having an 18" rear wheel.
This site has some good info;
