1983 Kawasaki Kz750-k1 Ltd - Belt Drive & Kickstart! on 2040-motos

Kawasaki Other description

Up for sale is a 1983 Kawasaki KZ750-K1 LTD in good condition. Tires are still good and the paint is still glossy. The frame has the normal small rust spots you would expect for a 30 year old bike, but they are surface spots only. Since I have owned it, the bike has always been garaged. Mileage reads 16554, but the true mileage is unknown and the current title states as such. I've owned the bike since 2000 and I've only put a few thousand miles on it since then, so it's probably not off by that much. I believe the speedo cable broke on a previous owner and that's the reason for the unknown listing on the title. Speedo was working again by the time I bought the bike.

This model is a belt drive and has both the electric start and kick start.

Currently the bike does not run, as there is no battery in it. I've hooked it up to a battery charger to verify that lights and the electrical work. You will need to do some minor carb work to it. I had done the carbs a few years ago with a carb kit (gaskets, springs, float needles and float screws), but something must have been put back together backwards because I was able to start the bike and have it idle, but when you went to give it gas, it would stall. 

Included with the bike is a spare drive belt. There is also a sissy bar with a padded passenger back rest that was not on the bike when the photos were taken. There is also one small tear in the seat below the Kawasaki logo. You will also need to change the oil and flush out any old gas still in the tank.

If you know your way around carbs, this would be a great starter bike for short money. If you have one of these or are looking to rebuild one you currently have, this would be a great parts bike for you if you'd rather not fix the carbs.
