a bunch of models have the same transmission cover and chain guide. kz550/650/750. probably that other stuff too. partzilla has a cross-reference. as does cmsnl.com Europe/UK. at cmsnl be sure to click z550 & z750 as welll as kz550 & kz750. there will be some models there not listed at partzilla.

Thanks for posting the tip.
I've been using the cross reference for years.
My local Kawi dealer had a really nice website and the part search automatically gave all applicable models......but they just closed shop this week and now the closest Dealer is a couple hundred km away.☹️
My mission cover appears ok but it is missing the chain guard and top tab to hold it on. (Which appears to be a common failure on these engines if the chain breaks.

That front sprocket chain guard is the same part number as all KZ/GPZ550's and all KZ650's.

Its common to find the top mount tab on the mission cover broken off from a chain break on 650/750 engines. Its easily fixed with a simple bent bracket that no one will see, you drill a bolt hole on the tab next to it as shown below.

Thanks for posting. The photos help too. I restored a KZ650C 2 years ago and it had the same issue. (Yes same part #) All the parts were there so I had it welded. When I do restorations I try hard to keep everything original. If I can find a good used (affordable) one, I will do that before a bracket repair but the repair you show is certainly in the cards. 👍
