1977 Kawasaki KH 400 For Sale

Up for sale is my 1977 KH400A4. It was imported from USA in 2013 and I am the first owner in UK.

The bike is not mint and shows its age, but it is a good runner/ rider and could continue to be used as is, or makes a great start for a restoration/ rebuild. The bike is mostly original with correct exhausts and rims. Cosmetically, it isn’t the best and although the chrome is generally good, it is showing its age in places with some flaking, most noticeably on the exhausts and kickstart. The paint has some bubbling near to the filler cap on the tank. The exhausts are solid, but have a few dings in them especially the r/ h exhaust - it has scrapes and a flat on the underside. Similarly the l/ h is also has some scrapes, but not as bad as the right. One key fits all locks, but the steering lock is stuck. There is small piece missing from one of the cylinder head fins. The clutch plates stick when the bike is left overnight, but after a couple of attempts to engage first, they free off and engage OK with no slip.

Initially, I recommissioned whatever was necessary to get the bike running and on the road. However, as I’ve owned the bike, I have made a number of improvements to make the bike easier to live with and to improve reliability -

Halogen front headlight conversion (35w).
Combined Regulator/ Rectifier
New carb to airbox rubbers
Ethanol proof liner (Caswell) in the tank.
Lo-speed ignition coil has been rewound ( a common fault on the 400) and also the generator charging coils – all by West Country Windings.
The top end was rebuilt 1, 200 miles ago - rebored to 1st oversize (+0. 50mm) and new Mitaka pistons/ rings, gudgeon pins and small ends and then carefully run in.
A new AGM battery was fitted a month ago.

Picture of 2001 Kawasaki W650 / BSA RGS Replica - For Sale

Kawasaki introduced the W650 in 1999, as a homage to their W1, 2 and 3 models produced between 1967 and 1975. The retro styling was an instant winner but due to the fact that the engine also had retro engineering in it, similar in fact to early single cylinder Ducati’s, the motor had a really nice classic feel but coupled ...
