Bike is designed to not shift up past neutral until moving forward.

Ahhha thanks man lucky I didnt start tearing into the tranny so what about if its on the centerstand and ya spin the wheel guess it has to have weight on it...I want to get it up to a higher gear to try to roll the motor over and break the pistons free been soaking for a couple days.....also anywhere I can find a wiring digram online....1982 kz1000..

Soo...got a new key made ...does it only turn off and on ....then the fork lock pops out ??is that how it works ? no accesory switch...
So I hooked up a battery turned on the key and no power to the gages shouldnt the guage lights come on.Any tips on what to check .....think at least one guage light should work....

Are there any other fuses besides the 4 in the fusebox.

For wiring diagram, go to "Filebase" under "KZ Information"

Scroll down and select YEAR.

Scroll down and select MODEL. (A similar model often has similar wiring)

Many models have a wiring diagram available for download.

Good Luck!

Please see following post.

Negative cable from battery is supposed to be grounded by connection at rear of engine.

There should be a lug on end of negative cable.
A bolt through the lug screws into the engine

Would assure integrity of this ground connection.

Good Fortune!

MMmmm.....tried spinning the wheel while on the centerstand to get it into higher gear but wont go past first it is one down four up right.....and thanks for the wiring diagram info.:blush:
