What year is my engine? KZ 750 twin

I just found this forum, What a great site. I just bought a KZ 750 Twin for almost nothing but the guy did not know what year it was.The engine # is KZ750BE065013 .I want to know what year it is to get some parts and get this thing in a frame and and going again. I am also having no luck finding a shift shaft seal which is leaking. Will a seal for a kz750 4cyl work? Any help will be great.

I'm going to hazard a guess and say it's probably a 1982 KZ750M1 motor.

If it has what looks like two hose spigots on top the cam cover, then that narrows it down to 82-84, and basing the engine number on a production of 11k-12k a year narrows it down to a 82.

Also, 83-84 were belt drives, and surely you would have noticed and mentioned a belt drive sprocket

And there were no 81 750 twin models produced.

82 was the first year for electronic ignition also.

Pic would help.

I will get a pic up, It does have the spigots on top of cam cover. It also does have a belt drive sprocket, and electronic ignition. Sounds like a 82-84. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the help. The motor does have the spigots atop the cam cover. It slso has the belt drive sprocket and electronic ignition. Heres a few pics. Thanks.

I don't no why it wont let me post more than one pic heres another.

and one last one

This frustrating....heres sideview pic.

Belt drive means it's an 83 if it's a US model, or 83-84 if Canadian model. 1983 KZ750K1 parts will fit regardless.

steell, thanks for the info.

Yep Steell is right, KZ750 Twin K1 1983 Belt Drive only year and 1984 Canada K2. I'm having a bitch of a time finding the belt cover. Was told the 1982 will work if I cut out the inside ribs so I ordered one off eBay. I hope he's right.

There is a complete 1983 KZ750K1 without a title for sale near here. If enough people needed parts I'd give serious thought to buying it and parting it out.
