1985 Kawasaki 454 LTD review from United States of America
"Small, has potential and lovable... A small bike with big bike abilities!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Due to neglect from the previous owners...
Front brake master cylinder was destroyed.
Front blinkers destroyed.
Speedo, tach and choke cables destroyed.
Carb leaked a little fuel (bad seals, but it's a 20 year old bike).
PO removed the air filter assembly and installed UNI filters causing a bog at mid throttle... working to find parts to fix!
General comments?
I loved my first 454 LTD bike I had on 98, moved to Alaska and sold it due to the short riding season...
Got to the 48 states again and had to get another one... and at the $500 price it was a steal!
After about $200-250 in parts, she's going strong!
I love my 454, it's small and nimble... reliable...
