Can you guys help me /o/ut?

Im 26 and have never ridden a motorcycle. Dirt bikes and moped sure but nothing over a 250.

My dad has a 76 KZ900 and had a garage put a 1015 kit on it. Guy didnt know what he was doing and a shim went through the head. My brothers and sisters and I all chipped in to buy him a pretty much identical one (pic related).

Now the other day we bought a 77 kz900 engine from a guy for dirt cheap. And i want to put it on his old frame. Problem is I dont know anything about motorcycles. What forums/classes should i look into.

Putting it in the old frame shouldn't require any special classes or forums as long as there wasn't a significant revision between the 76 and 77.

Find a Twist of The Wrist volume 2 video on youtube if you're worried about cornering. The acting is godawful but the info is good, and they do a pretty good job of explaining how to have a better ride. The bit about survival reactions is good to watch for any rider. (basically, don't stare at an obstacle, because then you'll hit it.)

You'll be making about 80HP, probably at the crank, not wheel so that is managable. I usually recommend people stay away from 4cyl on a first bike, but you've ridden dirt and you're still alive so you can't be a complete idiot.

As far as maintenance goes, lube the chain, check the oil, don't let it sit with bad gas in the carbs.

Sold it to a drag racer in the area that loves kawasakis, paid for the new engine ironic enough

Thread needs more kwaks!

I'm tired of youtube channels with random guys strapping a GoPro to their helmet and talking about their boring lives and shitty opinions while riding around. Are there any motorcycle channels that you watch and enjoy?

Get a good night's sleep, stay hydrated if it's hot and don't be afraid to ask questions.

Friction Zone is key. Maintain Speed. Take your time and don't rush yourself during the events. Pay attention to the instructors and you'll be just fine.
