321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

I get the info about serial numbers directly from the old Kawasaki parts microfiche card issued to dealers direct from Kawasaki. I see the info on the other KZ650 info page lists 1980 KZ650B4 (E). Of course in 1980 Kawasaki debuted the KZ650E1 that was very similar to the older B series. I believe in 1980 there was no B4, and the 1980 KZ650E would be KZ650E in numbering.

So if that's the case and the B4s weren't sold in the U.S. what parts should I get?
There seems to be slight differences in engine parts between the B, C, and E models, at least from what it looks like on Z1.

Get parts for a B3. Of course a lot of things not original on your motorcycle, but it's a B3.
