just bought a z650 and kl250
« on: February 04, 2012, 12:39:01 AM »
Having resolved to sell most of my bikes before buying any more and stick to buying mot'd bikes Ive been tempted by a z650 that was a bit cheap and looks like an easy project and a kl250 trail bike that is about as rough as you could wish for a project. the z needs the rear wheel re spoking, and general recommisioning after being stood a few years. The kl needs a sortout of the 6 engines it came with to see if any will run - most will not, lots of failed camshafts, it's current engine won't turn over so definately a challenge. Ebay search reveals virtually no spares for the kl so no good ued engines convieniently waiting to slot in :'(
They aren't Hondas and the z has 2 camshafts but the 500/4 will be remaining on the rollcall of my bikes so I'll not be sohc - less just yet
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock
