Good for you. You should be able to find parts on here but I wouldn't shut out ebay as a possibility because it's really the best place to find what you need.

Check at top of this page for "KZ Information" then "Filebase" choose your year and the bike, you will find a wiring diagram.

Welcome to the forum Redd, we do have a member here from the UK that just recently bought a 305 CSR but I'm not sure where in the UK he is. You might want to try sending a PM to Tommotbird if he's close he might be able to help you out.

Is your wiring harness damaged or missing entirely? I do know where I can lay my hands on one (I think) there is a salvage yard close to me and I bought a seat from them for my 305. IIRC the wireing harness was still there and intact.

I do have a factory service manual if you get stuck on something.

Redd, I just recieved a package from Tommotbird and his return address was on it. Turns out he is in East Sussex as well. Two CSR305's in the same town in the UK, what are the odds?

Hi Redd, welcome to the site!

Looks like you have a bit of work to do on that bike.
The Gringo is right, I live in Brighton, East Sussex.

I have an 81 Csr 305 as well as a couple of other bikes.

I have a few parts knocking around- might even have a wiring loom
somewhere.:lol:
Send me an email & we can have a chat if you want.

Wherabouts in East Sussex are you?
