1986 Kawasaki 454 LTD review from United States of America
"A hot bike that still gets attention from the guys"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Have had no breakdowns. But did discover a rock in the belt one time.
Do have problems keeping the carburetors synchronized. This needs to be done often.
General comments?
This motorcycle has a lot of off-the-line punch.
I can pack my saddle bags with enough for at least a week, take off and not worry that it will carry the load. It even handles two-up with ease.
