it could be the problem the reason they went to the 4 coils was the 3 coil spring could weaken fairly quickly. and they do interchange

If you install a 4 coil spring in the earlier Z1/KZ900 engines it WILL bind and you will not be able to shift.
If you install the 3 coil spring in the later bikes it might work, but the spring will be able to move around and you may have issues.
I have broken the 3-coil spring in the past - they do fail. But replace a 3-coil spring with a 3-coil spring.
