Starting my 1979 KZ1300 for the first time since 1991 

Man, I can feel your excitement from miles away. Sounds sweet too. Congrats.

Damn that´s good!!!! Congratulations man. I just randomly came across this vid and it made me smile through the distance! My dad and I are restoring one since a few years ago and it´s very exciting to see that these great machines are still alive! Greetings from Argentina

There's an old Zed!Always exciting to hear them start...even with a little encouragement!

There's no better feeling than finally getting an engine to idle.

That made me smile. Congratulations.

wow-that z1300 sounds so nice-reminds me of a 1960s ford zodiac

Well done 👏. My z1300 is also 25 years in the shed. Completely overhauling as we speak. Hopefully I get the same feeling in while when pushing the start button for the first time.

Yes👍👍👍...awesome I understand your emotions....great🥰

Congrats. I worked on a beach buggy a few years ago, it never ran right even though I cleaned everything and even sent it to a shop. I bet it has some serious issues as there was no vacuum leak I could find. Made me sour on carbed engines. Good job!

Sounds like Car Engine! 🤩It's really smooth too., Nice Ride

Congrats man! Those dinosaurs are hard to wake up sometimes haha

That starter motor got a workout

Damn! When you got out? Glad you got whip running!

Rebuild the carbs. Seals and gaskets need replaced after 28 years. That engine is not banging on all 6. Change all plugs. I owned one of these.

Sat for 28 years?? How is it running? Did you rebuild the engine?

I owned and rode it from 1980 to 89 did over 200,000km, striped and rebuild not much I don’t know about that model.main problem Automatic can chain fails bends valves, pickup coil fails runs on 4 cylinders love eating Dunlop sport tyres good commuter bike fun in the wet

Congratulations..

Yes, it's runs.... on five cylinders... instead of six ... Check the exhaust pipes for heat, is that's easy, Simpel !!!
