Need Help 1981 Kawasaki Z750 custom
« on: May 01, 2015, 10:08:54 PM »
One of my best mates and work colleagues has been really down in the dumps recently and I can't seem to snap him out of it. Anyway he has an '81 Kawasaki  Z750 custom stashed in his lockup unloved for many years and I want to rekindle his interest in it. He abandoned it cos he is tight and the rear M/Cyl was knackered, so he grumbled about design faults etc and abandoned it. Also it doesn't have a kickstart which is bad news. It's his birthday soon and we never exchange presents but I am going to try to turn up at the pub with M/cyl in hand  on or near his B/day and then he has no excuses. Anyone know if the M/cyl is common to other models and also would kickstart parts off a Z650 fit to convert it to kickstart  and what does it entail. I had a '79 Z650B1 years ago but never touched the engine other than swapping carbs.

Ash, the moiogrid site does Kawa partsso possible parts look up there, dont think you can convert to kickstart easy but willing to be proved wrong

KZ750-H2 LTD (1981)
KZ750-H3 LTD (1982)

43015-1072 fits

KZ750-E2 (1981)
KZ750-E3 (1982)
KZ750-H1 LTD (1980)
KZ750-H2 LTD (1981)
KZ750-H3 LTD (1982)

Which looks the same to me so why 2 different numbers?


If you can get the UK part number from a Kawa Dealer you put it in the part search at Motogrid and see if it fits anything else but if its not a US part  as well their system wont find it mate
