1984 ZX900 Ninja winter project begins
killingbugs:
We found this fine example of a first generation Ninja on Craigslist ad. It has been sitting for about 20 years, after the crash.
Most of the fairings have seen better days. So I'm checking craigslist and shopping.
It has a sticker from Staten Island Kawasaki, in New York anyone familiar with them??
I first pulled the crankshaft cover and made sure it would turn by hand. YEP!
Added a new battery and she cranks over.
I have pulled the valve cover checked the valve clearance and installed stick coils from a C-14.
Next block off plates for the emissions stuff.
The carbs are soaking and will be ready soon.
The gas tank is BAD, so I think on what to do. Anyone every clean and seal a tank??

Glad to hear the motor turns.
If there are any other problems which render the motor unserviceable, the later model Ninja 1000R motor slots right into the 900's chassis, FYI.
Here's some inspiration for you:
