GDubb:
I'm interested in your progress too... because I hope to be in the same boat soon.  What year did you get?  How much  did you have to give up for it (if you dont mind me asking)? Or anything you would do different or inspect before buying if you had to do it again.  I'm just trying to learn as much as possible before I spend the money next month.  I am always on a really tight budget and wont have a ton of buckage to dump into a bike after I get one so anything I can learn ahead of time will be priceless for me. Thanks in advance!    -G

GDubb:
By the way.... Congrats on the new bike!!!

mikesmith:
Nice!Have fun with it!

The bike is a '90 and I got it for 1,000. The thing that sold me was how clean the engine was. The main thing I look for is how much will it take to make it a fully operational machine. If that amount plus the purchase amount add up to or less than what you can sell the bike for, then its worth considering.

KXcam22:
Gongrats on the bike.  If you have questions ask away. There are tons of knowledgeable people on here who are happy to help. My first hint: If you need bearings (wheels suspension etc) and seals don't go to a Kawasaki shop first. Most any bearing supply house can match up most of them (take the old ones in) and save you 60% or so.  Don't forget tp check the steering head bearings for grease. Most don't have much. Have fun.
