Is the battery that is used in the 78 KZ650B the same as the 79 KZ1000ST?

The ST battery is about 50% larger plus has side terminal instead of top on the 650, so no, not close to the same.

321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

I think it was wired george who made the comment that the only part that the 1000ST shared with any of the other kz's were the 12 cylinder head nuts! :woohoo:

Apparently almost everything is just a little different on this model.
