    A while back @ShaneP dropped off to me Buzz , his 1992 Kawasaki zxr250c ,
    Some of you who came in the Texas ride
    Would know buzz as the zxr250 with the aux fuel tank.

    Buzz sat dormant for many years ,
    but did start and run, so I did a compression check , 75,175,180 185 psi cold, the last 3 pots were a positive sign.

    But number 1 had an issue. I used my leakdown tester and it shows that cylinder 1 has an exhaust valve leak. The head will be coming off shortly to address that.

    So here is buzz in all her glory

    You can get rebuild kits for the petcock. I will need to check my roller for forks and swingarm. I threw out a hugger, the chain guard end was broken off. A dented swingarm could be repaired...
