On most of the older Kawasaki's, the starter solenoid that pulls in and energizes the starter motor is controlled by the right handle bar run/stop switch.

When the ignition key is turned on and the switch is pressed, the starter solenoid coil is energized. Sounds like a switch is missing or a wire is pinched/shorted causing the starter motor to run.

I have an 82 GPz1100 B2 and except for having FI on my bike, I believe the wiring and color codes are similar.

Looking at my bike's shop manual I see two BLACK wires going to the start switch. If these are pinched/shorted the starting solenoid will be "on" every time the key is turned on.I'd suggest looking for these wires before tearing into the main harness.
