Speedometer Question

Does my CSR really only go up to 85mph? Or can I get a new speedometer. I know, I know- what do I need it to go faster than that for? Its just for satisfying my ego.

The CSR probably has a speedo that is unique to the model, so there may be no 140 or 160 version available.
Actually, there is. I also have an '82 KZ1000 CSR, and I found a 160 speedo on EBay that was a direct bolt-on. The seller did not know which model it came off of, but it looked right, and I got it so cheap that I was willing to risk it. Lucked out, and it fit perfectly.
So I'm sorry that I cannot tell you which model/yr to look for, but I can confirm that there IS a direct replacement available.

BTW..why couldn't I put a new speedo on that is not from the
sameyear/ same model? I mean, what would happen, besides maybe it wont have a correct fit?

There's always the chance the cable would not fit/turns the wrong way/can't mount it...............

Yeah, I just checked his site. He had some speedometer, but who knows if it is right for my motorcycle. It is a 160mph gauge. Sell for $77 or something like that. I guess I will just have to wait for my manual book to get here and see how they fit on.
