Default My 9th Bike, 1st Kawi and Love it !

Hello All. Ron here. Brand new to this forum and to Kawasaki. Every one here seems to be a bunch of good ol' peoples. I've owned a lot of bikes, no new ones , but nothing compares to the Kawasaki I just bought. 1990 Kawasaki ZX1000 B3. The previous owner had installed all new exhaust, aftermarket lights, and a custom paint job. By far, this is the most nimble and fun to ride machine I have ever ridden. Awesome!

I think I am gonna have to post my old Maxim on Ebay. Anyone that has anything bad to say about Kawasaki has never owned one. I put 220 miles on mine the first day and had to force myself to get off of it!

This is a great site and I enjoy all the posts I have read. Thanx...

You should be just fine. That is a nice ride that you chose. Compliant and pretty comfy. Suspension tweaks will need to made though.

220 miles in the first day. That is righteous.

Thanx!! Dragone, what do you suggest on suspension tweaks? I was wanting to lower it a little, if possible??? I am 5' 9" and can't quite sit flat footed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

after setting the sag, you will feel even more comfy in the sitting position. I am only 5'8 . I ride a 7 and soon to be 10.

I am a firm believer of getting a users manual. Do you have a manual?

Welcome to the forums! Congrats on your first Kawi! Pics would be awesome (heck we don't even mind pics of other bikes - so if you have some of your other bikes that'd be awesome too!)
