No probs
Dads gf just swapped her old shitter(car) for this
as a bit remembrance/project from when he used to race.
he says this about it:
chain and sprockets are a simple fix, but any other things he should start with first?The kwaka runs like shit ... chain stretched so surges, engine surges too, camshafts/camchain rattle when cold, something else rattles when slowing, weighs 217kg dry, skinny tyres react to lines on the road ... But it is a very interesting bike right from my early days ... manufactured the year the racing pic was taken

Carb rebuild - resonable chance the diaphragms will be rooted, pilot jets may be blocked - this will lean it out at small throttle openings, making for a lean surge at constant speed.
Check cam-chain for stretch, check the self adjuster does it's thing.
Nice pic of him racing a GT750 though!
I can't say enough about how good the continental radials are in the skinny sizes - Road Attack 2 (you can get them in a Historic racing compound which works well for a road bike - they're aimed at things like the SPa 4 hour race, so they give reasonable life).
Bin those shocks (Throw Ikons at it at a minimum, Gazi or others if the $$ can be spared), and put a set of springs and racetech emulators through the forks - will make a world of difference to how it rides.
thanks Gammaboy,
