1970 Kawasaki H1

I decided a few months ago to take the bike in to see why it is such a hard start when hot. The diagnosis... low compression and carbs way out of sync. One of the techs at the Kawasaki dealer in St Petersburg like working on the old bikes. The fix was basically new rings... he said the cylinders were in spec and in good shape. It took forever for him to get the jugs to break loose without causing any damage.

Here’s what it looked like on the bench torn down...







I also had turn signals installed, a brake light switch fixed, and
a few other minor things. I’ll update the post when I get it back.
