Description
Selling my Kz1100 A2 Shaft. A classic "American muscle bike" PLEASE READ FULL ADD Leave a message if I don't pick Owned this bike for almost 2 years now. It is not in perfect condition and price reflects this. The good: It's a 4 cylinder in-line air cooled engine with plenty of power and shaft drive so no chain maintenance. It has plenty of power and a very comfortable ride for myself (6'2). *Since buying it I've put on new tyres which have only seen about 2k km if even that. *I've put LED lights all around for much better visibility (have the originals if needed) *Replaced spark plugs *Cleaned and balanced carbs *New break pads *Put on a "cafe racer" style wind screen (have the original fairing, will put up photos of this later) *Replaced valve shims as had a bit of miss timing issue. *Just had an oil change and changed all top end gaskets *New air filter *Replaced 2 valves and have re-seated all the valves and tested for leaks The bad: * The exhaust manifold can't seem to get a good seal even with new gaskets * Back tyre has a slow leak * One of the cylinders has a few worn threads on the spark plug hole. *The pilot jets might have been changed in the past and the bike has issues idling and running under 2k-3k RPM. Have just not been able to get it to run better but someone with a bit more knowledge might have a better time of it. * There seems to be a slight gasket leak on the top end of the engine. I had changed the gasket but I think the top end might need a bit of surfacing to get it running perfect. I use this a few times a week and when it gets going it's a lovely and very enjoyable bike to ride. It does have a good few issues but this bike is over 40 years old. With a little bit of knowledge and TLC this could be a great bike for someone to own. I would keep and try fix all the issues myself but this is my main mode of transportation and don't have the time to fix it properly.
