Kawasaki did not make any Z1 models in 1976. 1975 was the last Z1. If it is a 1976 bike it is a KZ900. Ed

Maybe you need a new battery, how old is your battery?

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.

Woah BUD. Thanks for the info. Sorry you could not figure out what kind of bike it is. That was not my intention. I did some research and located some numbers. The serial numbers as well as the title state it is a Z900. I appologize for claiming it is a Z1.

I do want to thank everyone that posted about the original problem. This was great information that helped get it diagnosed. Hopefully the stator/regulator will get it back on the road.
