Hello All - Heeding what appears to be the # 1 issue in preventative maintenance for the KZ1300, I have been in the process of getting the Cam Chain Tensioner...
So tell us, which CCT did you get. The one for the 1100 is the one I believe people are getting. I personally just drilled and tapped the end, installed a jam...
Hi, I've just did it a couple of months ago with the cct for the zx11, the cam chain tensioner is part number 12048-1113 and the gasket is number 11009-1858...
You have to remove the alternator cover on the right side. Then with a wrench on the bolt that goes into the end of the crank, turn the crank clockwise (from ...
hi everyone my name is jason and i just bought a 1980 kz1300. i found the kz1300.com web site and saw that they mentioned that someone used a coil from a 1990...
If your gas tank says Buick or Chevy, then go with those coils. If it says Kawasaki, go with the accel coils, no worries and they always work great!!! Mejing ...
I wouldn't mess around with oddball coils as it would be easy to fry your CDI box and then you have a bigger problem. Lots of people like the Accel coils....
I tried the auto coils. they did work some. Did not give good spark. They did work slightly better than the original coils. I now have accel coils and they...
1st thing is check to see if low voltage to the stock coils is your problem. this problem occurs due to corrosion which develops over time on the switches in...
I've updated the Accel page on my site - http://accel.zn1300.com with new info relative to recent problems myself and others have had with Accel coils. From...
David, I am looking at your installation. I see that you did away with the ballast resistor. Is that correct? I already have 2 accel coils for my second 1300...
Hi All - I don't know why, but I never received Digest # 689. Was looking forward to perhaps gaining some insight about my previous posting, "Cam Chain...
well i guess i will hunt around for some accel or Nology coils since i have all winter to find them. are the nology coils priced the same as the accel or are...

Dear all, I took this picture fron the kz1300.com site and some guy here in Buenos Aires is going to make the rack, but I have two questions. 1. The front part...
Hi, You are correct, I had the same or similar on my KZ1300 and the front went on the shock bolts and the rear are on the rear signal tree bolts. Mejing ......
And so do I. There is enough length on the upper shock mounts as long as you flatten the metal there and only take up like 3/16 of an inch. Larry Colin...
OK, thanks!! but.... 1. upper shock mounts PERFECT! 2. rear signal tree bolts....... it remains loose?? I mean because of the floatong rubber that fixes the...
yes that is where mine bolts. It does not have to be absolutely solid. This rack on my bike has been there for over 178000 miles so far and no problems It...
By the way Larry, did you ever get the 1300 with that custom radiator running?? The last time I saw it, it was still in your garage!!! Mejing ... From:...
yep. it never gets hot. Even when sitting in dead stop traffic it takes nearly 20 minutes to get to the temp to turn on the fan. ONce the fan comes on it never...
Larry, Hope the parts came in handy and if you find a box at your house, it will be some more parts I found in my garage for the 1300 beast. You haven't moved...
Nope, still here same place. I am real close to having my second 1300 running. Good to have some spares. I used the front forks on #2. Will probably rob shims...
Hello, I just picked up a wrecked kz1300 and was going to rebuild it to a custom. Would anybody know how diffucult it would be to convert the shaft drive to a...
