coils

31 Jan 2013 21:58

Can I use the coils off of a 1980 KZ750 LTD on a 1978 KZ1000 Ltd?

I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

I am not sure how many ohms on the 750 cc coils, however I will check in the owners manual tomorrow.

My computer wentdown,this is why I am responding late. I could not find any info in the KZ750 manual as to the resistance on the KZ750 coils, Isaw a good deal on E-Bay for KZ1000 LTD coils the other day and ended up buying them, having an extra set of coils cant hurt. Thanks for looking.
