I have a 1980 Kawi kz550. Decided this year is enduro so gunna sell/trade this one and stick with my KLR.

So this one is up for trade. For mopeds, I'd put a trade value of 900 on this thing.

Starts and runs good, I rebuilt the carbs and got the synced. Starts first time you push the button. I got it on trade a couple weeks ago, so I dont know much history. Has 22k. Rear tire is near the end of its life. Also, the cam chain tensioner needs adjusted. If I can get an afternoon off work I'll probably do that myself. Not bad just clanky. Missing the little rear plastic piece.

Looks cool. You could just plate it and have fun with it.

love me some DJ5. Is it RHD or LHD? Which drivetrain does yours have?

These are fun and terrifying to drive. Cruise around a turn with the door open and you're liable to get tossed hahah.

Yep 1973 am general dj-5c. Its RHD. It needs a steering box to be street legal but it's going to be fun.

I test drove one of those when I was a kid, too young to put it in my name, dad nixed that one, it was fun, but VERY primitive. BIG 6cyl, but geared low, and if I remember right, had a posi rear end.
