? about what I've got.

Hi,
I just got a Kawasaki at the junk yard. Couldn't pass it up even though I have no idea what I've got. Can anyone tell me what year and cc the bike is? The serial number is, KZT00AE 097889. It appears that the engine is locked up and it's missing a few parts. Doesn't look all that bad and once I get out of the doghouse, (wife wasn't too happy with me) I'll post some pictures. Would it be worth fixing up or parting out? Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Pete, in NC

Welcome to KZR! Pics would be great!

Check this site out,

zedder.com/msg1.htm

They have a list with serial numbers.

they are all worth fixing up as far as we are concerned.hehe,but we have "z sickness".hang around here and you will get it also :laugh: .
people will buy used parts also,so show us what you brought home.we can then give you better advice.
welcome,

Harm gave you the correct site to dig through, but I can shorten your journey...what you provided is the motor VIN and what we really need is the frame VIN (found on the tripletree). The frame VIN will tell you what model bike you have (A = standard, B = LTD, and C = Police)...the motors were shared between all three styles (e.g. drawn from the same engine series and are inherently uninformative, other than the year ... yours is a 1980 bike).

Wow....thanks for the replys. You guys (gals!!) are awesome. The number on the steering column is..KZT00B-25820. Are parts hard to get??
Thanks,
Pete

Hello Pete...could your frame VIN be KZT00B525820 instead of KZT00B25820?

Yep, you're right...I missed the 5. The number is
KZT00B-525820.
Thanks,

In which case, you have a 1980 KZ1000B4 LTD...and parts are abundant...

Here are a couple of pics.

welcome to z-jungle leave it at the end of your driveway and ill swing by and take that headache off your hands for you :laugh:the KZTOO signifies kz1000 in my book anyway,the B stands for ltd.

Doen't look like it will be to much trouble, pretty decent shape.
