Spencerport, New York

For sale is a 1979 KZ650 C3 with just under 17K miles. This is a 2 owner bike that has spent the last 23 years in storage. It has a new Yuasa battery, Dyna coils and wires with oem CDI ignition system, new oring chain and sprockets, rear tire, rebuilt master cylinders and calipers, new fork seals with dust boots, rebuilt carbs, 2 out of 4 airbox boots replaced with new air filter and new halogen headlight. The factory paint shows some minor scuffs and scratches with almost no fading. The tank interior is perfectly clean as new and there is a dent above the left emblem as seen in pics. There is also a long shallow crease where something fell on it while in storage. There was a luggage rack installed at some point and scratched the sides of the tail fin down low. The left side cover has a crack on the front leading edge with a quality repair made from the inside and the original seat has a clean rust free base with all warning stickers; but could needs repair or a new cover. The chrome fenders still look good with minor flaws and the stock exhaust is totally solid with chrome wear from storage; but no dents or scrapes. The hard to find factory Toyo mirrors and grab handles are present and still in great shape! The original owner used this bike regularly until about 1991 according to the pile of insurance cards found under the seat with owners manual. The bike was parked for a leaky head gasket until about 2013 when the kid next door bought it. That owner bought a service manual, but luckily never attempted any repairs not being the mechanical type. I purchased it in May of this year and replaced the head gasket with a good quality oem unit from an early 80's model with better sealing capabilities. I only had to make a couple changes on the valve shimming and have since put 350 trouble free miles on it. The malfunctioning Kawasaki clean air system has been disabled and completely removed. I also performed other PM services such as swing arm and steering neck bearing lubrication and also converted the brake fluid to DOT 5 synthetic. Overall, this bike is in awesome survivor condition. It starts, runs, rides and stops beautifully and is very well mannered both in traffic and out on the highway with a smooth quiet engine and a nice tight transmission. This bike comes with owners manual, service manual, warranty letter, partial tool kit and one factory key that operates all 3 locks on the bike. The 79 C3 was the last year for the C as it was originally designed with triple disc brakes and probably the most reliable with auto cam chain tensioner from the factory. Although this bike shows cosmetic wear, it is in outstanding mechanical condition and is worthy of a restoration or use as is for a super dependable rider.

Personal inspections are welcomed and encouraged - there is a $500 paypal deposit required at time of sale with balance to be paid within a week by cash or bank wire.
