New 1977 KZ650 Owner

I just bought a 1977 KZ650 B1. This is also my first bike. Does anyone know where I might be able to find an OEM manual for this bike?

Hello, FlyKZ, and WELCOME to KZr!

These links should provide some good info, and a downloadable FSM as well.

Good Fortune!

I did notice one manual at the z650 files page, but it is for a more recently built bike. Do you think at least the majority of the information might be correct?

Many parts will be shared.

But would guess for instance that the ignition may have changed from points to electronic.

Lots of good info on kawasaki.com, including parts diagrams, part numbers, models sharing same part, availability, etc.

Here's a link for help with navigating the site and finding information.

Could also check out KZr's FILEBASE for lots of good information here on site specific to the 1977 KZ650 B1.

Good Fortune!
