    My Kawasaki KR250

    That's right - number one of a long to do list. I had arranged to pick up the bike and the spares yesterday but we had had constant rain for the last twenty four hours. The bike remains secure and dry in the vendors engineering workshop. This will be a long term project sothere is no great...

    My Kawasaki KR250

    The price was right given they are rare. It has spark and compression, so it should run. I'll get it started before I spend any more money. I should easily get my money back parting out if there are significant issues.

    '82 1100G mods, best bang for the buck?

    The best return on any dollars invested will be from maintenance and then brakes and suspension. As Nessism said, do all the maintenance first - you will get a smother sweeter and more powerfull motor when everything is sealed properly and the valves are in spec. Don't underestimate the need...

    Parts/Tree paint help

    I painted my calipers as well as the triple when I replaced the steering head bearings. I'm sure you will check the 30+ year old bearings! Used VHT satin black caliper paint - directions on the can. Calipers look factory fresh.

    US Cold Cranking Amps not cheap Chinese

    I have bought my last lead acid battery. I recently invested in a Deka AGM battery for the GS1000G and the difference is amazing. Not only better starting but the bike seems to have gained 5 hp as well. The old battery must have been providing a really weak spark. Check out how she...
