I have a question regarding the value of my bike. I have acquired a 1975 Z1 900 and am wondering if this bike is of special interest or value. The reason for my question is because I wish to customise it to my personal taste but do not wish to decrease the value of a bike which may be of ...
Is there a good reference for parts interchange? What year/model seats will interchange with my KZ650? What Carbs?

I've noticed pre-1982 (I think that's the starting year for this), the speedometers are numbered higher, sometimes 140mph. Why did they drop it down to 80mph? To discourage people pushing their bikes, or did they do something to dummy down the engine? Just curious.
haven't had a bike for twenty years, but i'm ready to jump back in the saddle. i have a few bikes lined up, but i'm struggling with my final decision. my choices right now are a 1982 gpz 750 which is leaking oil from the bottom of the bike for 1200.00, not sure exactly where, a 1976 kz 900, a...
I have a 77 kz 750 B, and was wondering if anyone has a wiring schematic for the B1 and B2 as well as the B3 and B4. If you can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you have any mechanical info on this bike I could use it. Thanks
Just purchased an 81' KZ650 CSR for $400 from a good friend.:D Had trouble starting at first, but once I cleaned the spark plugs and adjusted the idle it starts the first time everytime.:cool: My problem is that my brother tells me I need to adjust the valves as soon as possible. I purchased...
Can someone advise if the frame and engine No's on a Z1 should match.
My '83 KZ750 LTD is almost road ready. Got the majority of the mechanical kinks worked out. The one thing that still needs to be done is adjust the headlight. Anyone know the proper way to do this? I know where the adjusment screws are, just not sure where it is supposed to be set. My service...
Looking for someone to ride with. Anyone in the Va Bch area?
Hey everyone. I am brand new to the forum, and I found may way here because I'm thinking about buying a '76 KZ750 Twin and don't know anything about them. If you have any knowledge or experience with one of these, please give my your thoughts. I have owned 5 street bikes in my live dating...
My bars are rusty and gross. I was looking at Renthal bars last time I was at the store, but they had no idea if they would fit or not. How can I find out what fits? Are bars universal?
Hello everyone. I have a 1983 KZ750-F1 LTD (4 cyl, shaft drive). I recently got it going and I've gone through 3 tanks of gas. On the first tank, I got 39mpg. The second tank I rode with a passenger the whole time and got 32mpg. The thrid tank got me 37mpg. I was just curious what everyone...
I finally got a chance to get some pics of my new toy. They aren't really good, but you get the basic ideal anyhow. It's a 1972 Kawasaki H2 3 cylinder 2-stroke 750 (Mach IV). It has high performance cylinders from Fast By Gast and aftermarket expansion chambers. Included with the bike were a bunch...
Hi Everyone. I just bought a used 1981 Kawasaki KZ 750 LTD. I am having serious issues. The bike would not start, so I checked the fuel connections to ensure the bike was getting fuel, which it was. I then proceeded to check the the wiring for the bike. Everything checked out fine including the...

I need a sealed beam unit for the above bike-I have an OEM quote for 84 bucks! Can't I go into an auto supply store+pick something up pricewise closer to my pocketbook?Jeez! Thanks.
Hoping someone can advise. I dumped my bike around a corner a few weeks back, luckily I didn't do much damage to myself or the bike. The handlebar took the brunt of the impact on the throttle side and was bent. I replaced the handlebar and grips thinking that I would be all good, but when I went...
81 kz440 My bike has been overheating lately. I've had it running fine for a few days now, and on my last two attempts (from cold starts) I've been overheating and had oil gush out the breather. The only thing differently I've done, and had little success with, is changing the clutch...
