Only initiated Sikhs must keep the 5Ks. You can be initiated if and when you're ready. Some people never take that step, others take it immediately. But Sikhi is about being a Sant-Sipahi, a Saint-Soldier. The Saint part comes first - learning about Sikhi and Gurmat, living like a Sikh, and eventually you'll hopefully want to join the Khalsa army and it will be a natural progression.
Sikhs don't have to wear the 5Ks right away. I've been studying Sikhi on-and-off for 11 years and have been calling myself a Sikh for 6 of them, and I only have a kara.
