Hi ! new..

Hello, I have just bought a 1980 Z250ltd ( KZ ? ) I had one about 25 years ago and can`t remember anything about them.. there may be a few questions in a minute !
I`m in the UK

Welcome aboard, and welcome back to old Kawasakis.

Many of your questions can be answered in the factory service manual -

Many problems can be avoided by using the proper tools, like actual JIS screwdrivers--

Thanks for the link but it is for twins not a single, I have tried to find a manual on the site for it but failed...

Oops, sorry about that. Here is some very basic info on your thumper--

Thanks for that, I bought a second 250ltd yesterday and it came with a workshop manual ! sorted
