83 KZ750 out of moth balls

Great to see the 750's getting some serious air time on here right now. I just took mine for a blast down the harbour this morning. It goes great! A lot more go than my 305!

I'd like to see pics of the actual bike.

Soon as I get a chance. It's stock except for Supertrapp 4 into 1 and some case guards PO put on it . Paint on top of tank needs some cleaning up, which is not in my wheel house. Need to use some kind of mild abrasive on it. Have 4 bikes in the garage so things are tight. I got my 89 Yamaha FJ1200 running last year. It's a beast. It was in garage next to Kaw for most of those same years. 750 Kaw was my first bike, not like these sissys starting out on 250's nowadays. Just kidding my son bought a 250 ninja 2 years ago and it's a blast. He moved up to a 600 this year and my wife took over the 250.

If it's got two wheels and goes, you're flying. :woohoo:

Already replaced the carb holders. It runs great from 3,000 RPM and up, just doesn't want to idle or run smooth at low RPM. Will clean pilot area of carb as I find the time. It has the perfect riding position. Good all day. I bought an easily removable windshield for it long time ago for when I was doing some long distance highway riding to work for awhile. Doesn't look great, but helped at constant high speeds.

Check your valve adjustments,

Here is a crappy pic of bike in my garage. I spent 7 hours cleaning pilot circuit of carbs today. It is now idling! Still a little rough just off idle. Threw some seafoam in it but probably need carb sync.

Sorry here is file with pic

Nice.

That’s a nice looking L3 ! :woohoo: :woohoo:

Don’t know if I would put my 2 cents on miracle drugs for engines, have heard that the placebo effect is low . . .

Go for a carb sync, check the petcock, it’s mesh, fuel lines, spark plug wires and most importantly, take it for a ride.
If it’s been standing for such a long time it needs to run.

Definitely riding while I can. Weather holding out here in PA so far. Have to get used to a naked bike again, been behind a fairing for a long time.

That is a great looking bike. I have not seen one of those in many a year.
