Where bike was made was created by NHenneous
Hi guys I have a 76 kz900. Been trying to locate where bike was made and if engine is correct. Vin is Z1F508705 engine is Z1E103711. I have looked at some sites they either say no none match or bike was made in Europe but no details. Thank you in advance for any help.

I thought the bikes were either manufactured in Japan or assembled here in Lincoln.

Per www.zedder.com --
Engine made in Japan, and frame made in USA. The numbers are correct.

The label doesn't indicate the place of manufacture?
From the info at Zedder.com for the 76 A4 the bike appears to be a USA model.
