Up for auction is a beautiful example of an unrestored 1976 Kawasaki KZ900A. I have owned this bike for a few years now and will hate to see it go. Clear title in my name. This bike has been sold owned and maintained within my local area it's whole life. Dealer sticker is still on the tail light. I have the original warranty booklet with the original owners warranty form still inside. Original owners manual and tool kit still fully intact and look unused. This is an absolutely beautiful bike and the fact that it's remained unmodified and original it's whole life is amazing. I boughtthisbikefrom an older gentleman that was the 3rd owner. His friend and him bought a pair of these brand new. This onebeing the one that his friend bought. Here is a short video of the bike running https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb-f2ZaFOWg

The seat and exhaust were removed early in it's life and properly tuckedaway and replacedwith an aftermarket seat and exhaust. When I bought it the original exhaust was reinstalled but the seat was still in storage. I then obviously reinstalled it. So the chrome 4 into 4 exhaust and seat are in great shape since they were hardly used! I took a closeup picture of the right upper pipe the chrome has a slightwavy like appearance to it compared to the rest. Not something that needs attention or repaired. And according to thegentleman Ibought it from the pipes are absolutely original and were not on the bike all that long.

Paint is original and looks beautiful. I tookcloseups of aany imperfections in the tank and tail. Obviously thebikehas been used over the years so body work doesn't lookquite like a concours restoration bike but it sure is close. Inside of tank looks like new and has never had any sealer etc.

Chrome is all original andbeautiful.No evidence of pitting or corrosion. Headpipesof the exhaust were the only area that had any slight pitting which was/is minor and pretty much all came off with light steel wool.

All the lights wiring switches and charging system work as they should. 4-way flasher still intact and operating.Turn signal flasher and battery just replaced last season.

Original airbox system with a newstock replacement air filter.Carburetors disassembled ultrasonically cleaned and reassembled with original jets new needle and seats/o-rings/gaskets/fuellines. Carbs sync'd and set up well. Bike runs nice. Original petcock has been rebuilt but still doesn't internally seal correctly so I just replaced it with a Pingel petcock which will last forever orig. petcock included.

Engineoperates perfect shifts perfect and sounds great. After purchasing I adjusted the valves and timing chain replaced valve cover gasket and also replacedall the side cover gaskets and seals since they all seeped a little oil. Bike doesn't drip any oil and hasn't sincegoing over it. Oil and filter recently changed as well. Engine number is Z1E-089539

Points and condensers are new timing setup as per manual plugs and wire ends new. Grips are new stock style replacementstach cable is a motion pro replacementtires areIRC radials that are in nice shape. Chain guardis a newstock style replacement front brakepads and rear shoes are new. Front brake master cylinder has been rebuilt with a Kawasaki rebuild kit. Right side of frame has been touched up here and there with some black paint looks nearly original and you wouldn't know it unless I told you otherwise all other paint is original.

Overall this bike is a true survivor that runs and rides great. I have taken it to several bike meets and it always draws a crowd. I have had a blast riding this bike. It rides so nice and smooth and runs nice and quiet. Haslots of power and runs perfectly up through the rpm range in each gear.This bike needs nothing and is ready to show ride or collect.

Shipping is fine but all arrangements need to be made by the winning bidder and it has to be picked up at my house.

I am hoping it stays at within the U.S. but overseas bidders welcome
