Speedometer question

Just bought a 1981 KZ1000.

The speedometer doesn't work on it. Nor does the fuel gauge. I'd love to fix them.

I saw a 1982 KZ1000 gauge cluster for sale. Will that work?

pictures are nice. and put your bike info in your signiture like the guys here will help folks to tune in quick to your threads..there are a lot of guys with that bike on this site..i got one as a third project..going slow....i really dont know much about these newer kz's yet...but does yours have an elec pick up(wire from front axle) instead of speedometer cable like the older ones did.. mine does...the old ones usually just need speedo cables once in awhile...your guages might be fine...i got a great shop manual for 1981 kz1000 j used on e-bay for 20 somthing with shipping.. make sure it says "shop" manual.....maybe start there... best of luck and welcome bro.....peace craig

Check part numbers on Kawasaki.com parts diagrams for your bike and compare.

I have a 79 KZ100E1 with the same fuel sending unit and fuel gauge and had to go through several sending units to find one that would work and a couple different gauges to find one where the fuel gauge would work. What I am saying is that the fuel gauge is a bit hit or miss.
