WHERE TO BUY PARTS?

This may seem like an odd question, but where is a good place to buy parts for the older KZ bikes?

To some degree that depends on which part you're trying to buy. If the part is still available (Active) Z1 Enterprises ( www.z1enterprises.com/ ) or Partzilla ( www.partzilla.com/parts/detail/kawasaki/KP-13089-022.html ) are good online places. If the part is no longer available eBay or certain parts houses that stock some obsolete parts are your best bet. If the part is obsolete and cannot be found on eBay or a parts house there are often aftermarket replacements available either at Z1E or places like www.diablocycle.com . If you can't find a part ask; some folks here have lists of possible resources. To check if a part is still available (Active) check on Kawasaki.com. It is a really good resource. Here's how:

Go to Kawasaki.com. On left side put cursor over "Owner Information" then on drop down menu click on "Parts Diagrams." The click "Continue" next to "Motorcycles" and click on model/year/etc. on drop down. Once you get the list of parts for your bike you can click on the category of parts - such as "Air Cleaner" and you will see a diagram of all the parts for that category. Then when you click on an actual part number on the list under the diagram it will say if the Item Status is "Active." If it is "Active" Kawasaki still sells the part through dealers. Also, at that little page you can click on the yellow highlighted question mark for a cross reference of which bikes share that part or click on the red highlighted S to see earlier part numbers for the same part.
If you want to change bike models you can enter the new model at the top. Also, you can put in just the first part of the model (i.e. KZ650) and it will list all the years and sub models. You also can put in a part number up top and switch the word "MODEL" to "PART NUMBER" using the little drop down in that box. If you do that it will show all the models that part is used on.

Good Fortune!

I bought a lot of parts from z1enterprises and z1parts.net to name a few. There are many bone yards around that specialize. I can't off the top of my head think of the website, also ebay and craigslist are your friends not to mention google.
