Kawasaki KZ650C description

Very Cool, Vintage 1979 Kawasaki KZ650

Clean Title, no signs of any major work or accident. Does not leak.  Always starts within a few kicks (electric starts when engine is warm).  Everything works, currently licensed in California. Plenty of tread on tires (about 300 miles on them). 

However, recently ran on low oil. Engine started ticking, so I went back home. Drained the oil, and only half the reservoir was full. I changed the oil around 200 miles previously. It was burning oil quicker than expected during riding. I changed the oil and ticking went away. There is damage to the engine, but hard to tell how severe without opening up the engine. It still starts and runs like before. Only difference I can feel is the slight ticking when 'aggressively' accelerating. With conservative riding, I cannot tell the different. Though I still wanted to add this disclaimer.

The engine seems to run okay after running on low oil, wiring is in good condition, all electrical and switches work, disc brakes work great, seat is in perfect condition, electric start plus kick start, classic style. The only after market part is the Vince & Hines chrome 4-into-1 exhaust system ($500). 

I made a YouTube video to show a walk-around of the bike and also a start-up. The video was taken on 6/10/16. eBay doesn't allow me to include links in the description, but if you search in YouTube for "1979 Kawasaki KZ650 - For Sale - Blake" it should come up. 

Thanks for looking, and happy bidding!

The Monster Energy Kawasaki rider will not be able to stretch that run into a fourth consecutive title.

The name Matt Cuddy should need no introduction to Motorcycle.com readers. Not only does he have more than 5,000 posts on our forum, he’s also written dirt bike tests for us, including the 2010 and 2011 Kawasaki KX450F reviews. Making this accomplishment more noteworthy is the fact that Matt is a paraplegic – he was hit by a car several years ago while riding his motorcycle.
