adjusted engine idle and she's running sweet!

thanks mick, much appreciated! And thanks to all for friendly, helpful responses:)

just undid red cap (screwable sump valve thingy, not oil filler cap) )which let out a stack of oil, refilled it and now I can see the oil level in the window. the previous oil was that dark, unable to tell if indicator window was working all right!

taking it to Tyres For Bikes in albion tomorrow, will get the guy there to check it out, sounded very friendly and in the know when i talked to him on phone.

so the oil is for both the engine and the gearbox too? I was wondering, even though obviously bikes are manual transmissions (except scooters and some new retro looking honda) whether or not it needed any transmission fluid.

question, it has anti dive brakes, are these meant to shudder a bit like ABS when you brake hard?

and where can i find an owners manual? checked the forum links and manual area but couldn't see one for this bike, any pointers?

i just got a 1986 kawasaki gpz1000, when i picked it up, started like a dream, couple days later turns over but not starting. no manual with it or anything.

so what sort of oil should i put in it and where does it go: see pic.

86 GPZ1000

56 000ks on it

still finding details about it myself, i got it totally as you see it with no little to no documentation. starts mostly, although sometimes not at all. hammers though!

I've booked it in to get roadworthy on friday at team moto in enoggera, brisbane. Anyone had any experience with them, any good?

thanks, looking forward to some rides and days with fellow kawasaki riders:)

just got it yesterday,
