The F-5 Bighorn 350, intro-duced in 1970, was just about the trickiestthing on two wheels when it came to combi-nation boondockers. But Kawasaki, in theirhaste to scoop the rest of the field, foundthemselves in troubled waters. The earlymodels suffered a variety of defects that arepast, painful history to the manufacturerand dealer network alike.With a vast aircraft-oriented manufactur-ing concern like Big K churning ahead, thissort of setback was dealt with in recordspeed.

The new color for this yearis a bright lime green (the same shade usedon the Kawasaki Racing Team equipment).Also, steel wheels have replaced the alumi-num alloy ones due to the alloy's lack ofding resistance over sharp objects. The pol-ished alloy was better looking, but the steelrims won out for durability. Interestinglyenough, the alloy rims were not at fault inmost of the cases. Kawasaki recommends 24psi in the front and 31 in the rear. This highinflation pressure is not conducive to a softride, and some riders would run softer pres-sures and then suffer flat spots in the rims.The aluminum rims are a bit on the softside, but will hold up if the inflation pres-sures are maintained, and sharp objects inyour path are avoided.The steel gas tank has a very pleasingshape considering its 3.3 gallon capacity.The lines blend nicely with the semi-squared... 17221
