Hi there, I've just joined KB recently and I've learnt heaps from just reading the previous threads! You guys are great!
I've just purchased a 1993 Kawasaki ZXR250 from TradeMe. It's done around 23,000kms, but the previous owner has kept it in storage for the past half year or so without riding it, he reckons he serviced it just before he put it into service, the thing is that I rode it from Howick to St Heliers, stopped at the lights, the bike stalled by itself, so I pushed it onto the footpath and tried starting it again, but it wouldn't start :shit:
I called the previous owner and he came straight away, after about 30 minutes of waiting, it started, then the owner had a look at it, and the problem hasn't happened! Would any of you guys know why it'll stalled like that and not happen straight away again? (hopefully not again!)
Then I got home, look at it closer and notice there are some green liquid leaking from around the rear brake fluid reservoir, I'm guessing it'll be coolant? See the attached photos. Any idea?
Final question I'll probably be taking it to Spectrum in Takapuna, Auckland for a full service and tune-up this week, what sort of things will they do? How much should I be expecting to pay? I heard they're really good.
Any thoughts/comments will be greatly appreciated!!! :Punk:
