Hey it's my first ride.
Good:
Knee pads to go along with your standard protection. :-D You'll probably loop out at some time, if you're wearing your gear when you do, the chances of injury are less. You will loop out, ask Jerry... :cry:

Haha alright thanks Good! I have looped out once but luckily I was going at a pretty low speed, just rolled too much on the throttle and not enough grip from the tire. Oops. :wink:

Welcome James,
Throttle control is probably the most important thing I found in keeping myself alive on this thing. Your bike looks like the P.O. 's did attempt to take care of her.
Getting a hold of service manual, (Kawasaki or Clymer) will more than pay for itself. Get one and even if you only look through it in your spare time you can pick up lots of info most guys will never catch. There is lot's of info here to peruse that should help get you up to speed (so to speak). :lol:
Glad to have you with us, Take some time to get to know the old girl and she'll love you long time!

thats the best opening post i have read :lol:. you jumped in the deep end there. i have been riding 20 years and the 500 was an eye opener. my advice is, take time to get to know the beast . take it easy, keep safe

I could only imagine what a 500 is like-and i think my 250 has tons of grunt. You could probably tow with it :lol:
