1978 Kz 650 recommission. Will it run?

Описание к видео 1978 Kz 650 recommission. Will it run?

This set of videos will walk through the recommission of a complete and original but apparently scruffy '77 Kz650 from end to end. I love these little 650s, without doubt the best middleweight of the 70s and arguably the template for every Japanese multi that came after. This bike really did everything. Fast, reliable, taut handling, bulletproof engine, brakes that worked - even in the rain and on the whole, built to an excellent quality no matter if they were Japanese or Nebraskan builds. I bought the bike around Christmas 2020 as a non running project bike from my friend Jim Wolfe at All Brands Cycles in Muskegon, Michigan.
It's clearly been living outside for some time, so looks quite careworn and hasn't run for years so is a great candidate for bringing back from it's hibernation and letting someone get tons of pleasure from riding it again this summer. But will it run, is the engine knocking like a bag of bolts, how much effort and pain is required to have it zipping along in the sun again and getting envious looks from the guys that wish they were still on bikes? Is it financially viable as a project? Watch and I hope, enjoy. Thanks, Rod
