Can anyone help me? I need a pick-up coil for a 1980 kz-1300 B2, Kawasaki says the part is discontinued, Is there anyone that knows where I can find one ,or...
I might have one. If it's just one pick-up coil you need and not the whole pick-up coil assembly (all 3 pick-ups on a plate) It will be underneath piles of...
Dear Dave, Thank you for your offer of a pick-up coil. I found one that worked out of a 1980 kz 800, it fit perrific,I just had to unscrew it from the plate...
Looks like it is going up pretty good. It looks like I will need to find that manual somewhere else as the seller on e-bay is telling me he never received my...
Ok the bearings in the steering head are probably bad. You can do the same side of each carb for vacuum. The tach is not working probably because the cable...
My 1980 KZ1300 is running great now. Now I need to get her to looking better. Any ideas on how to polish the aluminum? I have used scotch bright pad with Easy...
Get you some Mr. Buffer and polish it up. I found that this a few months ago. Works great. The front forks and wheels are like chrome now. It still takes some...
I do my polishing the hard way ---- gasket remover to remove the factory coating then buffing wheels with compounds. www.caswellplating.com has really good...
HELLLLLLLLP! I am trying to save my KZ 1300 from loss due to bad times. I have decided to sell my 1970 R75/5; this is a one owner bike purchased in Phoenix AZ...
Help it seems like im getting a vapor lock or something riding along happens alot if im following a semi or into a good wind. Sometimes it just happens, and it...
Can you say... add a fuel pump? I have done everything but put the gas tank a foot higher in the air on my 80 and it still does this, put on a fuel pump and...
do you still have the fuel solenoid on the bike? Its black, the fuel line comes from the tank to the solenoid then to the carbs. If so take it out, and ...
Check your fuel line, it should not go down, underneath the carbs and then back up to the carb inlet. Rather route it round over the carb tops, over the air...
It's your coils starting to fail, trust me. I had exactly the same symptoms a few years back & I thought exactly the same, vapour lock. When your coils start...
Anybody have any experience using Amsoil full synthetic in your bike? I bought some at $6.00 a quart from a friend who has a bike shop to use in my KZ1300. Was...
Phil probably identified the problem. The symptoms are more like heat induced coil failure than a fuel delivery problem. The stock coils are just junk. First,...
When I sold my KZ1300 to my brother it had 200, 000 miles on it and with amsoil. I ran 15,000 miles on the oil change and 7,500 miles on the filter change....
Could be coils, could be fuel. 80 A2 with fairing and sometimes with lowers. Problem was usually worse at low fuel flows, behind trucks, downhills, slow ...
Hello, I'm new here and I am the proud new owner of an 80 KZ1300. I have so far flushed the fuel system, thrown out the fuel solenoid, bought a manual, ordered...
Gary, Great post. Very informative. If I understand correctly, Your 1980 B2 vapor locks despite all proper attempts to alleviate it, and requires a fuel pump...
Congratulations on taking the proper steps to upgrade your KZ1300 and make it as durable and reliable as it was designed to be. When you refer to the main fuse...
Thanks Dave! there was a typo in the second to the last line, it SHOULD have read. Fuel pump on and the 80 is dead reliable, easy starts all the time, high...
