I have an old Kawasaki Z650. I am in the process of building a hard tail Bobber out of it. It has no Title currently. Actually I am putting the engine on a different frame ( with a title ). I need to know the year of the engine for parts. Can anyone help me?

Engine# KZ650DE027246

Thank you in advance..

Go to Kawasaki web site and you can enter the vin no and it should help you.

Pulled this info from KZ650.info

Model Year Engine Frame
(K)Z650-D3(SR) 1980 KZ650DE026001 ~ KZ650D-026001 ~

So looks like your motor is from a KZ 650 -D3,, Or known as the KZ650 SR

But the D3 wasn't imported into the US. Hmmmm, the number in question is the engine serial number and the Ltd--E--model also had engine serial numbers that began with KZ650DE-----. The serial number stamped into the steering head will tell the tale and is considered the actual VIN.

Could have been purchased by a military guy/gal overseas back in the day and shipped to the states during PCS. Logical possibility.
