Just starting what will hopefully be a quick fix and clean up on the other bike that came with the my H2.
I postponed this one because it was to be sold but when the price did not reach what was thought to be fair I finally asked if I could keep it and my family agreed.
I always liked this bike a lot and spent many years riding next to it but very few on it.

Last time it was ridden was 1998 and it locked up solid shifting it into second during an acceleration contest with a Buell….So I am assuming it is second gear…we will see once its opened up.
Debating finding a stock exhaust, I have the stock pegs, shifter and brake.

I think it would be fun to rip around on. It looks kind of sinister. ;)

I like those old Mark II's, they are good looking and fun to ride. I have one of sorts, it is actually a Classic with the EFI, with the frame modified and all the bodywork, wheels and brakes from the later 1981 J model.

It'll be a good project, lots of parts still out there that aren't overly expensive.

MkII's are worth some bucks, if you're not crazy about it sell it and you might be surprised at how much money you get.

I have no idea how much its worth.
They wanted to try to get 4500.00 for it……not running, locked motor, sitting for 14 yrs. I had a few offers under 1000.00 the first year I had it in my garage. After that I didn't try to sell it.
I asked them this summer to try to sell it themselves, I wanted to either get it out of my garage or fix it.

I got the carbs off tonight, I forgot what a nightmare it is to get carbs off bikes of that era!! Almost broke out the sawzall :lol:
And they weight a ton!! You could anchor a boat with them!!
I will rebuild them, but they move freely and appear to not have to much crude, I opened one up, the gas had been drained so very little to no varnish on the one I opened.
Might be time for a sonic cleaner 8-)

Wait till ya try to stuff that cluster back in there????
LOL
Crabs ass hasn't got anything on that fit man.
One side goes in and when you cheat across to push the other side/end in the 1st side pops out again.
:-)
Almost bought one with a free spinning motor but not as nice as that one to look at.
500 bucks and a title. I blew it and missed out.
Then was looking at a 1300 like the one I rode at Ricks this Summer.
What a frigging Cadillac man....

I should have taken that 1300 for a spin, I have never rode one. I can't imagine how hard it is to get that bike apart :shock:

The entire time I was pulling those carbs out I was thinking HOW THE _ _ _ _ am I going to get these back in!!
And what if it needs jetting changes…UHG!!!!
The plugs are BLACK BLACK so I know it is rich.
I could have Just about rebuilt the entire top end of the H2 in the time it took to get those carbs off!

Nice to see another KZ project, I should have mine together by the end of next month !

They aren't that bad to put back on, make sure you block the end you start so it stays in place. Take the carbs off of a V65 Magna, go through them and re-install, that is a pain. You would be happy to have Kawasaki things in your hands after that. ;)

The old trick was a 2x4 that you wedged in from one side. That kept one side in as you pushed the rest of the rack in.
