1986 Kawasaki 454 LTD review from United States of America
"A great all around bike with a lot of power and great looks"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
The cooling fan sensor went out 2 days after I bought it.
The kickstand kill switch shorted out the first time I washed it.
General comments?
Extremely punchy across the whole operating range.
A very tough bike. It has taken everything I have thrown at it.
It rides great and handles well.
Don't pop the clutch and you will be OK, otherwise you will be on your back like I did the other day.
