Kawasaki Other description

You are bidding on one 1981 Kawasaki KZ550LTD in very nice used condition. This bike has only 25,795 original miles, and has been well kept throughout the years. I bought this privately and have decided to sell it in favor of a different bike for my son. I have not really done anything to this bike; it runs well and everything works. I really have not put any time into it at all, so I don't have any service records to speak of. There are a few items that could probably use some TLC, but for the most part this bike seems to be in pretty good shape. The things I've found so far are as follows: The ignition switch will work without the key, although the key works all the other locks correctly. It seems that the ignition switch has worn to a point that even a screwdriver will turn on the ignition. The bike also has a split in the seat cover at the crease between the driver and passenger. I'm not sure if the turn signals are mounted in the proper position, which makes me wonder if the handlebars are stock or higher rise than stock. The bike has a new battery, and new tires. The bike shifts smoothly, and runs very strong; Kawasaki is known for their powerful engines, and this is no exception. The brakes, lights, horn, turn signals and high/low beam all work properly. This bike comes with the original owners manual and Clymer shop manual as well. In true E-bay fashion this is being sold "as-is" with no reserve to the highest bidder. No warranties are expressed or implied. This should be a very affordable bike for someone looking to get into some cheap transportation; this bike qualifies for historic tags and insurance, which is very inexpensive. Buyer is responsible for all arrangement and costs of shipping. I will gladly help with the safe loading of the bike with the shipper of your choice. I would like to have the bike shipped within two weeks of auction's end. You are also welcome to come pick up the bike yourself. Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!

2014 Kawasaki KLR650 New Edition Revealed

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

Kawasaki revealed an updated version of its popular KLR650 dual-sport at the New York International Motorcycle Show. The new KLR650 isn’t exactly a full model-year replacement as Kawasaki had already announced the 2014 model; instead Kawasaki is calling it the KLR650 New Edition, offering it for a retail price of $6,599, a $100 premium over the “old edition” KLR650. The extra Benjamin Franklin gets you new springs for both front and rear suspension, multi-contour dimpled seat and revised graphics.

Nissin ABS Modulator Recall Affects Honda CTX700, Suzuki Hayabusa, Kawasaki Ninja 250R and Possibly More

Wed, 17 Jul 2013

Last week, we wrote about a recall in Canada for the ABS system on the 2014 Honda CTX700N and the CTX700T (known everywhere else as simply the CTX700), affecting 13 units north of the border. We can now confirm that the recall also affects U.S. models as well as models from other manufacturers using the same components from Nissin.
