Working on an 81 kz750 ltd, could use some help
I just got a 1981 kz750 ltd, and it needs some love to say the least. I've always had project cars and am pretty handy, but I've never done a bike this old before. Im going to try and build a cafe racer style bike I'm really hoping I haven't gotten in over my head. The bike appears to be all there, but I'm already experiencing wiring problems. I haven't even been able to try to turn it over because I'm getting no response from the start button. Does anyone know where I can find a good service manual or some wiring diagrams? I figure that would be a good place to start. Any suggestions on what could be preventing it from even trying to start would also be helpful. I got the bike on Craig's list so I know very little about it. The guy rewired it and I'm hoping he didn't screw anything up :/

Ahh, that was my 2nd bike. '81 or '82. Not sure. Did you google it?
I saw several hits. Please keep it touch here and let us know how it goes. |
when people rewire stuff its always a gamble that you are going to also do a rewire.
strip it down, check connections, fuses, if he has rewired and things look clean and organized you might be lucky with something simple. Sometimes a local library will have manuals you can borrow or photo copy from. |
Thanks everybody for the responses. I found one wire that had a weak connection, so I fixed that and tried again. This time, the lights dimmed and my hand got shocked a little bit. So I'm assuming thee has to be a short somewhere, I just can't figure out where. MOST of the wiring looks pretty good, I guess I'll just have to systematically check all of it
