Hi all, Brand new to this site and I'm glad I found it as I bought a used 87 454 LTD. I just put in a new battery and man did that suck! so tight!! The speedo wasn't working and I learned how to troubleshoot that on the University of YOUTUBE and got it working but will need a new part soon. I needed to add coolant and oil and like someone else mentioned in another thread, I may need to removed the clutch cover so I can clean the oil level meter. I would like to adequately monitor the fluid levels.
This is my first bike and I don't even have a permit yet. Going to take the Biker's safety course here in NH soon. Really looking forward to getting on the road and having a new project to work on. However from the get go I am concerned with a noise it's making when idling.... Cant seem to hear it when I go down the road. (Dont worry not going far). hoping to share a video when I get a chance to make one.
So I've compiled a list of things things I need for the bike and am ready to go out and find them. -Turn Signal -Tach cable -Speedo Sensor (inside the gear assembly) -reflector -rear tire will pass, but new rider, prob get a new one
With regards to the turn signal, it appears that I will need a proprietary assembly due to the oblong mount... Is that the case? And any recommendations for where to get OEM and after market parts? Im gonna take a stab in saying the local Kawasaki dealer will charge a hefty price for most parts.
Thanks in advance for your input!

Welcome......E-Bay is a great source for what you need.Also the 750 Vulcan has a lot of the same parts as the 454.
