Z750 high mileage and kawasaki engine advise

[froggy128]

Seen a 2004 kawasaki full service history but 24k miles! the bike is £2300.

What problems should i look for?

Also the paint on the tank is blistering abit its under warrenty and should be able to get kawasaki to do it. Is the paint on the z750 very good?

These bikes are pretty cheap for what you're getting. I was just looking at a 2005, FSH (5k) for 3.4k.

If it's got a FSH I wouldn't be to worried about the mileage and as for the paint, if you can get it done under warranty, I wouldn't worry about that either. There's not much paintwork on them and the plastics should be fine. My ninja is a 1998 and the paint job still looks great.

2.3k for a 2004 bike with FSH that's good looking...wanna tell me where it's advertised?

If i dont have it you can! got someone looking at my xjr tonight so fingers crossed.

What colour is it?

(if it's blue knock some more money off and then spay it green, or black!)

Good luck!

Black wouldnt have it any other colour! It has one of them horrible fly screens drilled into the front of it.

[byke95]

Good stuff, black is the nicest colour for sure!

Is the fly screen a Kawasaki one (as in the ones that don't look to bad and can be taken off easily) or some ill-fitting ugly one?

If it's the latter, knock more money off!

They're great to ride by the way, loads of fun!

24000 miles isnt anything to be worried about, as long as the beastie hs been serviced properly, another 50k out of the motor is a reasonable expectation, again, if its serviced regularly.

And being an official screen should make a fair bit selling it
