    1985 Kawasaki GPz750 needs refresh

    Not riding it yet, but learning some about it. It is long and slim with low mounted pegs, good wind protection. It's a sport tourer maybe one of the first. Wayne Rainey won the 1983 AMA SuperBike Chanpionship with a GPz750 built by Rob Muzzy. Here's a link to a Cycle World Test article

    1985 Kawasaki GPz750 needs refresh

    Only 11,766 miles, looks well cared for, no sign of rain or sun damage. Not the turbo model. Looking it over for missing parts; has pod filters, top of battery box is missing. Supertrapp aluminum slip on.

    Is there such a thing as a cheap Beemer?

    I spoke to a close friend of mine, about me fixing up his R90/6 airhead as a winter project. I'm board so I'll pick it up in a couple weeks. I did read up on them, the pre 1981 bikes have a heavy flywheel, so that slows the pickup. Single 260mm brake disc with a single piston caliper is way too...

    GS1000 "retromod" build questions

    I watched this only this morning.

    FortNine Lane filtering

    I watched this last week, good. I was more interested in identifying his bike. I think it's a Honda CX500 Deluxe.

    GS1000 "retromod" build questions

    Sounds appealing to me, mostly getting 17" wheels with up to date radial tires on. I had a low side on my 82 1100G, mostly because I was used to leaning my track bike with sticky 120/70-17R tires. I would prefer modifying a box steel swing arm to use double shock mounts, instead of a doing a...

    GS850G Won't Start, Electrical Issue, No Spark

    I'm understanding Chucks test procedure. My Clymer manual test is the same but said in different words. Take plugs 3 & 4 out but connected to coil wires, rest them against the engine so they're grounded so if they spark you can see it. Turn on the bike, but don't touch the starter button. Your...

    what did you wrench on today??

    Decided to put the case guards back on, after learning the hard way. I had a low side crash and damaged the left side case in 2023. Tried soldering a patch but it leaked, then I added another sealer to the inside and that worked, but the case was ugly. So lucky to find a clean case on ebay this...

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    I almost bought a 79 CB750F. Decided it was too much like my GS1100G, plus my house needs a new roof. Really nice bike.

    Weak idle until hot

    This seems normal to me, old air cooled bikes need to be fully warmed up before idling well, they're analog. It takes progressively longer as the weather gets colder. PS: In the manual for the same vintage Honda CB750F the use of a thinner oil in winter is recommended. PPS: As for clutch drag...

    Psyching myself up for the top end - any veteran eyes up to read borescope pictures?

    Have you looked down the intake ports at the valve tops? 1st on you list should be a valve job including: new stem seals, replace valves with corroded edges, all lapped in and new springs.

    Windscreen/fairing question

    https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/maier-gp-sport-fairing The fairings oldGSfan recommended are of higher quality, but pricey. https://gpcycleworks.com/pages/search-results-page?q=gpz

    Looking good! New GSX 8tt

    I disagree because of the style factor. The GSX-8s has the same performance and lower price, but it looks like an crayfish.

    Looking good! New GSX 8tt

    I was also thinking it resembles the 82 GPz 550 & 750 more than the GS1000S.
