Kawasaki Z1 Z900 A4 1976 37000 miles Restorable Classic Collectible Investment

Imported from the USA. with original Title document and NOVA form. Please take a good look at the pictures. Engine no. Z1E1258**
This bike has not been started or ridden since 1987. Today i fitted a new battery. and put a gallon of fuel in the [very clean] tank. After a couple of kicks. it fired into life. There was no smoke on start-up. and the engine is quiet. There is a picture of the bike on smooth tickover. The 2 left carbs overflow slightly. so i would suggest the floatbowls are removed and needles checked. The previous owner bought the bike in 1977. and kept a record of all services and any parts that were renewed. in the front of the original owners handbook. The original toolkit is also present. As can be seen in the pictures. she firstly needs a good cleaning. Brakes work ok. and brake light functions. Brake fluid should be changed. Headlight needs wiring up. and front indicators need re-fitting. as it had a fairing fitted at some point. which is now removed. The original exhausts are solid. but the chrome is flaking towards the rear. The paintwork appears to be original. and has faded very slightly on top of the tank. Chrome on the mudguards is good. The tyres were fitted in 1984. and look ok. but it would probably be best to change them.
Basically. with a little work. it can be put on the road. Or. it is a sound basis for a complete renovation further down the line.
