1981 Kawasaki Kz650 Governor
06 Sep 2025 15:53
Don't know how or why but the governor on my bike is seized. Found this out while installing an electrical ignition system. It's also not even usable because I can get the main center rod off the weights but I can see that the arm on said weights is cracked and would fall apart if I could.
Does anyone have a governor or know where I can source one. I keep finding ones similar but not the exact same part number. If you do have one I am willing to cover shipping or talk about pricing. I'm just trying to revive this poorly done bike.

I think I have a few spare, for earlier model, 1978.
If they are the same, great.
Part # 21148 011 for the 1978.
Can't find the 1981 model parts diagrams.

I saw that one but I've already bought the new coil. Don't really want to return it to get a used one just for the advancer/governor.

Is there a way to DM on this? I think that would actually work. They are different part number, but they look basically the same. Plus since the electrical system replaces the middle post it should work.
