RE: Checking Kawasaki Z650 Valve Clearance

in Hive Motors6 months ago

Ooh wow
Did you ever learn how to repair a Kawasaki or how?
That’s a good one though so you don’t have to pay people to do the things you can for yourself

Sort:  

I'm mostly self-taught, but back in the 1980's bikes were simpler and we all tended to reach for a manual and have a go ourselves. When I was a courier I was doing around 70-100,000 miles a year, and learning to do my own maintenance saved a huge amount of money.

Although I made a fair share of mistakes along the way, like the time I picked an engine up from a friend totally dismantled in cardboard boxes. I built it on my bedroom floor and then when I finished discovered it was too heavy to get down the stairs 🤣
