KZ 1100 A2...Got to drive it for the first time

Just bought it today, picking it up in the morning.

21k miles, bought it from the 2nd owner. Hasn't been ridden in a couple years.
Put a battery on it and it turned over nicely. Going to do a tune up and give it a go tomorrow.

I can't seem to find much info on this bike...I guess it was a touring bike?

Can anyone direct me to where I can read more about this bike?

Well I got it home today and immediately tore into the carbs. Not too bad, but I do need new diaphragms for the carbs and new tires. I have to look at the rear brake, not working, but may be due to no fluid.

It moves very nicely and is super comfortable...way nicer to my a$$ than my old harley.

Does anyone know what carbs I have? BS34 or BS34-SS???

Thanks,
Shizz

If you don't have one yet you can download the FSM here: www.kz1000r.com/downloads/Kawasaki%20KZ1...Service%20Manual.pdf
I've got the same bike, bought it from the original owner.
It's called the A2 Sport Touring Model.
Lots of smooth power from the big KAW. I get 46 MPG hi-way @ 70mph.

Very helpful. I was about to order one, but you saved me the hassle.

I had a kz 550 up until a month ago, just stumbled on this one on CL earlier, and couldn't pass it up.

Is this a rare bike, or just not documented well?

BS34s I believe.
The BS34SSs were used on the GPZ750s.
But don't quote me.
Diaphragms should be the same.

I was told that the standard are 70mm, the ss's are 73

From a guy that makes them.
