I've broken one in just 18 months of ownership. In Argentina we do not have many spare parts so at that time I had to weld it. It's working fine so far (even...
Hi Larry!! My engine serial number is: KZT30AE007472 Frame number: KZT30AE007598 Should it be the same serial number for the engine and the frame?? comments?? ...
I aways carry a spare clutch cable with me, when I thought I had broken the cable, it was the part the cable ball went into. Its a very thin metal part. It was...
No the engine number is mostly meaningless. the frame number is the correct number. I have 145. That is KZT30AE000145. I was just curious. Larry Colin...
I agree!! I didnt say it was like a walk in the park.......but with no spare part on hand and having to wait a couple of months for it, I gave it a shot and it...
Hi all, I am considering a 79 KZ1300. The current owner says the tach is slow to rise when the bike is cold. Has anyone else experienced this? I can't...
the two numbers were usually kind of close to each other til the B2 came out then the engines went into both types from one line? Like LC says they normally...
It's kind of normal, Kawasaki put a healthy gob of some kind of light grease in the bottom of the bell on both the tach and speedo. I think the purpose is to...
He guys, I was talking to someone about my jones for getting a KZ1300 and he seemed to think the bike had a weak suspension compared to the CBX. He told me...
I am using dunlop tires. They work great. I have the progressive heavier springs in the front forks with a 10 weight oil. And the progressive heavier springs...
I've owned a CBX in the past & Larry's correct, they are quite fragile, it got to the stage where I wondered what was going to break/blow up next lol. The...
http://www.fastour.us/forums/files/goshow_05_006_300.jpg In the process of looking for a bike to buy I stumbled over this custom one that some has put together...
Thanks for the responses. Larry, I particularly like the idea of changing out the front fork springs. Its nice to know there are some options. Vance...
I think the guys hit it pretty close. I have only done a few parade miles on friends mint CBX, but I used to race a Honda CB900F The lower weight made it feel...
Hi my name is Paul fron Victoria Australia. I have a z1300 sidecar outfit and would like to find out if any other Kawasaki rear wheels will fit a Z1300? I want...
I am not sure but I think the voyager 1300 wheel would fit. It is a 16 inch wheel as the original KZ1300 wheel is a 17 inch wheel. This drop in size should...
Well I have still been riding nearly every day. Weather is pretty good. Saturday it was 85 and sunny. Today it is like 55 and sunny. But tomorrow is another...
Who thinks ten below is cold? Heck we just use weather like that to keep the riff raff out. I have to admit I have been doing more skiing than riding though....
Howdy Gary, I'm with Larry on the subject of cold. Since I have never been in weather colder than 0 degrees I can only speculate but, since 0 degrees froze my...
Hi Larry, get the ski's out as we have cold but not much snow on the ground, except at the ski areas. It would be a hoot to drive up with the bike and having...
Guys, I just got a weather report. Houston's low for Thursday morning will be near 29 degrees. This means they may have to shutdown the city. Could be a Rita...
Just thought you guys might spare a thought for 'the other half' ......40 degrees today ....celcius that is. Not sure what that makes it in your measurement...
here in Buenos Aires almost summer a very nice 25 Celsius!! Blue sky, light winds from North. Be well!! Horacio Lic. Horacio R. Colombo Gerente de Sistemas ...
Sun is shinning and no air pollution or smog -- just minus 25 this morning. Won't be day light till nearly 9 am. Where is new south wales again ? Glenn...
One thing the southern boys miss is snowmobiling. Lots and lots of fun, smoky two strokes all over the place (although more 4 stroke sleds every year)and you...
Lenny, If Houston declares an evacuation I'm headed to your part of Australia. If only I could afford to follow Summer around the globe. Sorry, just not a fan...
New South Wales is on the east coast of Australia, not the biggest state in area but I think the highest population wise. Capital city Sydney, some good riding...
