Thx for the welcome Lash. New to the ZX forum, my son just purchased an '87 ZX600 that has been sitting for approx. 6 years full of fuel. We were looking for a project we could work on together, I think we found it. :) Fingers crossed I can glean some information off the forum that covers that early series and fire a few questions when we get into a jam. :eek:

So far we've finished pulling the carbs apart and spent considerable time cleaning them, put them back together after getting some new parts (float valves and gaskets) and have installed them back on the beast. Took forever to get the floats set what we hope is correct (at least gas isn't pouring out of the overflow tubes now). 17mm was not the correct setting, more like 13.5mm from what we finally got too.


Grew up in Montana, Started riding on a Yamaha Trials 80 and then climbed the cc ladder steadily to a 750. Best ride ever was from Groton Ct. to San Diego Ca. via Montana. The bike I miss the most was my '76 GT750LC.

Welcome out! I think that bike sounds like a great father son project. I helped a buddy of mine fix up an old bike he picked up that was sitting in the guys shed for 4 years full of gas still one of the worst odors ive ever smelled.

Post up a few pics and keep us posted on the progress :)
