I'm the youngest son, and my older brothers and sister took all his other nice motorbikes. There were three old bikes left, none of while actually are drivable.
I've moved them over to my little garage and have some free time.
PROBLEM: I know about cars, but not about bikes.
SOLUTION: Let me know what you can see on these three things.
Bike #1 A 1985ish (88?) Kawasaki GPZ 550
Mom says the bike starts and runs fine, but she can't find the key for it. I looked on eBay but I'm not sure of the year or anything, so I don't want to jump on an ignition until I know more. It's a great looking bike, just needs some serious cleaning and a way to get it started.
Kawasaki GPZ 550
Bike #2 Yamaha dirt bike
I know nothing about this thing, other then it is missing something big in the center of it. It was dad's dirt bike that he raced around a bit when I was younger. He fell off it once I remember and broke his arm, it was manly.
Can anyone see what it is that is needed in the middle of it there? There's a hole at the back of the block (the thing with heat fins) that hisses when I moved the kick starter. There is a gas line coming down from the tank (through a fuel cut off valve). Towards the tail is a plastic box thing with an opening aimed down into this space.
The Yamaha Dirt Bike
Bike #3 Yamaha parts bike of some sort
This was a parts bike, but for what other bike I have no idea. I called my brothers and sister and they didn't know anything about it. There is only this and the Yamaha dirt bike, no other Yamaha bikes around. This one has a carb, but no fuel tank or headlight
Shitty Parts Bike
Any help at all is appreciated.
