1989 Kawasaki 454 LTD review from United States of America
"Super bike for the size, with plenty of power"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Previous owner dropped it and scraped it up on the right side. They also broke the front headlight mount; still looking for that since they no longer carry it through the factory.
General comments?
I found the bike at a used car dealer locally. I took it home had to have the tank boiled out at a local radiator shop, then had the carbs worked on since the bike had sat for sometime.
After running the bike for a couple of weeks, I had to take it back in so they could rework the carbs, because the float was sticking. Been running like a top since.
