Title: 1977 Kawasaki KH 400cc Triple
Post by: Vincent on January 19, 2008, 09:32:06 PM

Here's an old shot of my green Kawasaki 400 triple.  I also had a '73 S-3 400 triple but it wasn't this pretty.

Just add throttle to lift the front wheel.

I never kept track of the oil consumption.  It depends on how much throttle was being used as it used very little at low RPM but more at high RPM.

It's like trying to figure out gas mileage on a car when you're cruising on the open road or sitting at traffic light after traffic light.
