1978 KZ1000A starter/clutch gear, what's missing?

I'm in the process of helping a friend get a KZ1000 with a 78A motor running in a '79LTD frame, its mostlyu complete, but is clearly missing some parts in the starter gear/clutch area. What am I missing here, does anyone know part numbers,if the gears from other years will work etc, and even better, have this stuff for sale?

I think you are missing the following parts:
13002-007 collar
21167-002 starter motor gear
92026-091 22mm thrust washer
21167-003 starter clutch gear
and a damper rubber that you have to measure for by test fitting all the parts to determine the thickness needed. It could be one of the following:
92075-192 which is 6.3 thick
92075-193 (7.3)thick or
92075-194 (8.3)thick
I think that if you are in doubt you could pick the middle one and be safe. Most of these parts are likely interchangeable between 900 and 1000 units up to 1980.
I am new to this site and have not yet posted a picture of my bike but am hoping to offer as much as I can to help others and to also receive information as I think it is a good site to pick up information from.
Good luck!! David

Over Running Starter Clutch Repair On the Older, Bigger 4’S

1. When preparing to repair the starter over running clutch have a few items on hand:

A. New alternator cover gasket.
B. New springs (3).
C. New spring caps (3).
D. New rollers (3).

2. If possible, put the motorcycle on the center stand and tilt to the right to reduce the oil volume in the alternator cover.

3. Place an oil catch pan under the left side of the engine to collect what small amount of oil that will escape when the alternator cover is removed.

4. Remove the foot shifter lever, left foot peg assembly and the sprocket cover.

5. Some Kawasaki’s have socket head cap screws(Allen type) and others may have fasteners with a Phillips type. If the latter is there, a # 3 bit seems to work the best for removal.

6. Remove the alternator cover and take care with the three wires coming from the alternator stator. These are the voltage supply wires for the motorcycle. Rest the cover on some newspaper or rags to prevent damage.

7. The magnetic Rotor or flywheel will probably require a removal bolt or puller. NOTE, SOME ENGINES HAVE LEFT HAND THREADS ON THE ROTOR!!

8. The over running clutch is bolted to the back of the rotor with three Allen head fasteners.

9. Separate the rotor from the over running clutch and inspect for damage in the springs, rollers, and spring caps. Replace any worn parts.

10. Re-assemble in reverse order taking care when re-installing the Alternator cover not to pinch any wires. If the cover will not re-install without force, check before any damage occurs.

he s spot on....there is a big gear that sits behind rotor assembly that sits on a roller bearing with a damper behind it..at 7 o clock hole below starter there is a pin that goes in that holds a small counter spocket....he is also right to go with a 2 star damper if in doubt.....i think i have everything you need....let me know if interested and i will post a pic of what you are missing....i will pm price......

This is where you go to find a parts diagram
