smilinjack 0 Posted March 10, 2012 Buying a Kawasaki is always a Good Thing in my book but did you say the rad needed replacing? If so do your homework as they are often difficult to find on older bikes and they don't come cheap either. Otherwise, enjoy, dude! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirtydog 0 Posted March 18, 2012 yet another brief update got the bikle home put a fresh battery on her half a dozen turns of the engine and vroom vroom she was away needs a bloody good service to be honest and some fresh fuel and im sure it will sail through an mot but we will see...was gonna post some pics but ive already got the panels fairing and seat off so not looking great at the mo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stue11 0 Posted March 18, 2012 Look forward to seeing her finished and put back together Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BanditMike 0 Posted March 19, 2012 Okay. We'll wait until she's back together. But need some piccies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtydog 0 Posted March 19, 2012 been meaning to add this comment just to say we filled the rad up and ran her for 15 mins and suprisingly no leaks......not sure what the stoner i bought it off was on about but only seems like the fact the fan is missing that its getting to hot...need to get some normal/origanal clocks for her as the ones that are on do not seem to read right temp oil pressure etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
