So, my wife side swiped my 2000 Connie while backing out of the drive and knocked it over an embankment. Buggered up the Cowling. Looks like Kawasaki has stopped stocking the cowling. Epay was no help! Found a 2006 on Craigslist for $1600 with less than 40K miles (that's virtually a new bike!) Laid the guilt trip on the wife and bought it. I was thinking I could save money and transfer all my farkles over to the new bike. Ha. New bike had all the same add on's. The PO was a tractor driver (AKA a Harley. Why would anyone want to ride something that looks like, rides like and sounds like an old farm tractor with a rotted out muffler?) http://forum.cog-online.org/Smileys/FantasticSmileys/laugh.gif Anyway, I think he bought this as a quick turnaround profit deal since he knew nothing about Connies. He did mention that the place he got the bike "went through the carbs." I think they went through them like idiots. The bike rides like it is running lean. Probably needs valve adjustments too. Looking at my manual only goes up to '02 so before I pull the carbs I was wondering what the float valve measurements were. Probably different than my '00. If not then I'll Xfer my old carbs over. Old bike still runs great. So could some Gentleman out there provide me with float valve measurements?
Funny thing, I always did not like the old bike in red but now my new bike in navy blue (the color I wanted) I do not like at all! I could go months and not wash it but with this color you look at it and its filthy. Plus I don't anyone sees it.
