Hello from Atlanta was created by nick risingsun
Hello everyone.
I picked up 83 KZ550 A4 few days ago and currently she is not running but trying to fix and make her fired up again.
Maybe I can do some little TLC by myself but I'm not like enthusiast and I don't know much about KZ so Please advice and hep me out if I ask questions. Thank you!!
Here is my 1983 KZ550

Nice catch. A little maintenance, new seat cover and some new handle bar grips, and so on...

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationWelcome aboard! Step 1 should be to buy a genuine Kawasaki Service Manual for your exact year and model bike. It contains the information one needs to perform all maintenance, trouble shooting, etc. Here's one that covers the 1983 KZ550-A4 and some other models. Ed
