parts search

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone knows a good resource to find which parts may be compatible with the same part in my bike.

I have an 80 kz440 and I need a starter motor, I am looking for a website or other info on which other bikes I could pull a starter from, that would work (without modification) in mine.

Thanks,
Plug

Have you looked at:http://www.chaparraledealership.com/ for a suitable starter replacement?

According to kawasaki.com the following 21 models share a common starter motor assembly.

KZ400 (1974)
KZ400-A1 (1977)
KZ400-A2 (1978)
KZ400-B1 (1978)
KZ400-B2 (1979)
KZ400-D (1975)
KZ400-D3 (1976)
KZ400-D4 (1977)
KZ400-H1 (1979)
KZ440-A1 (LTD) (1980)
KZ440-A2 (LTD) (1981)
KZ440-A3 (LTD) (1982)
KZ440-A4 (LTD) (1983)
KZ440-B1 (1980)
KZ440-B2 (1981)
KZ440-D1 (LTD Belt) (1980)
KZ440-D2 (LTD Belt) (1981)
KZ440-D3 (LTD Belt) (1981)
KZ440-D4 (LTD Belt) (1982)
KZ440-D5 (LTD Belt) (1983)
KZ440-G1 (1982)

I'm unaware of what if any other brand bike models might use a compatible starter motor.

Good Luck!

Good Luck!

Thanks,
Where on that kawasaki's site was this info? I looked, couldn't find it. This might come in handy in the future for other parts.

Thanks for the ebay tip.

How far along are you able to get? And we'll take it from there.

Thanks Mfolks,
I'm trying to do this as cheaply as possible though.

i found this page, but it does not have compatibility info.

www.kawasaki.com/kawasakinew/accessories...80&ModelCode=KZ440A1

Click > Parts Diagram

At 42, click > Starter Motor/Starter Clutch (`80)

At 19, click > 21163-1011

Click > "yellow ? mark"

List of models should appear.

Let us know if hitting any snags.

Good Luck!

thanks

HI, Plug!
Just wondering if you managed to resolve your problem with the starter.
I have a 1982 KZ440-C3 (Frame Nr KZ440C-005830) and it doesn´t have a starter too.
I´ve been looking allover the internet for a replacement but several issues come up relating to the starters compatibility... I cant seem to find one that is exactly the same as mine: MITSUBA SM-8203; 12v 0,6kw.
So... because I cant fine one exactly like mine and because a new one from Japan costs more than the bike itself here in Portugal!... I start looking for compatibles.
Do you have a list of models that share the same starter? Does anyone have it?
I already understand the early models have 2 brushes and the later have 4, but will they fit in the same place? I need to be sure to make a buy through the internet... Returns are difficult since I sit in Portugal
I´m getting a bit desperate... I want to start rebuilding my KZ but will not until I'm sure I can get the starter for a reasonable price.

So.. can Anyone help me ?!?
I would me most grateful .
