My Eleanor

Ok for you that have seen movie you know, bike name is now ELEANOR. Had bike 2 day and the chain broke at first not a biggie. But it broke because PO put new on and never retightened. So now I have a nonleaking broke trans case and bent clutch rod. First question is can I find a trans case with out selling my first born? With all her issues should I keep her stock or just turn her into DragBike( I am up for either)? Please help me out here, for first time in my life I am on the fence(NO NOT GAY!!!)! Bike is bone stock it even has stock plugs and Wires!?! What do you guys think? Thanks !!!!!

1981 KZ 1100 B1 GPz just in Case you didnt know!!!
Cant believe I over LOOKED chain!!!

I took some pics just to PO me even more. Take a look see the flange around chain is mostly that broke but she has even more issues!?!

Well, your source for the cases is going to be eBay...and it may be 'relatively' inexpensive to pick up a set...perhaps less than US$200.00...shipping about $50.00...

A bit difficult to see in your pics so I could be wrong, but it seems you only broke the transmission cover (and bent the pushrod), that shouldn't be too expensive to replace. Is there any damage to the crank cases themselves?

I think i agree with OnkelB. Item 11009 from Kaw's website. I am sure this could come off several different this models and you should be able to find on Ebay.

Hope its not too small...

Looks to me like you just need the trans cover, so look for one off the following models.

I agree with OnkelB and Tom in that you only broke the trans cover. The part # for the cover is 14025-1240 and it was used on all these bikes so it should be easy to find a used one.

Edit: DOH :pinch: :pinch: :pinch: I see Steell posted the list of bikes while I was typing this post so I'll remove the list.

And don't feel bad I did the same thing way back in 1977. I let the chain get too loose on my 76 KZ900 and then did a first to second powershift. It busted the chain, the cover and bent the pushrod. Then I couldn't get a new cover because it was on backorder from Kawasaki. I ended up having to drive for an hour to another dealer to get a used one from a buddy of mine who worked there.

Thanks guys, sorry for the triple reply my PC had an issue last night!!!(Issues all over!!!)

along with the few broke parts, dont forget to replace the chain and both sprockets, also if you go with a "o ring" chain, buy the install tool it will make life a lot better

Clicked on the image, and it reappeared in a very legible much larger rendition.

These XW-ring 630 chains from Z1E look interesting, but haven't yet tried one. They are offered in several different lengths.

Here's a sample listing:

And of course Z1E also carries the sprockets.

Good Luck!
