New(Literally best barn find ever)KZ200 Questions

I already posted in the new member forum. This bike has literally sat in a climate controlled garage for the last 35 years. It runs great however the carburetor boot is cracking and I am looking for a replacement. I found one on ebay from Indoniesia. I had a friend suggest that a piece of radiator hose cut to size and clamped on might also be a solution. Anyone try this? I need to change the oil but find no info on what weight of oil to use in this bike. I have always used a good quality 10w40 motorcycle oil in my other small bikes. Any help would be appreciated.

I have used gates brand "green stripe" radiator hose as an inlet manifold on a bike that had a spigot on the head. Radiator hose used to clamp carb to head. Never heard of using it to patch a leaking intake manifold, sorry. Paul

That's a nice little supper clean bike you scored there. How much did you give for it?
Hope it gets 100mpg + for you.

$990.00. Couldn't pass it up.

Another member in Sydney Australia was able to find a NOS Manifold/ carb holder for his. But I can't remember the year of his. I think he got it through z1enterprises.com which is one of everyone on this websites suppliers. I'd give them a email or phone call.

Wow; that bike is amazing! Check the oil filler cap to see if shows what weight oil to use. Ed

I posted this bike yesterday in the craigslist thread!! I live in Boise and found it on CL. Sweet looking bike!

I would jump on this if I needed it; these are very scarce! According to Kawasaki.com part number 16065-045 is used on KZ200-A1 (1978); KZ200-A1A (1978); and KZ200-A2 (1979).

No doubt, buy the right part for that gem. I hope I don't see it turned into a cafe or bobber. That two hundie is sweet!

Cool find for sure! How is the power? Can it handle the hiway?

This bike will be kept in it's current state alyhough they do make a cool cafe bike. The only thing that I will add is fork gators. I will look for an old Kawi 2 stroke enduro to build a cafe bike.
