No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI don't know about later models like yours, but the earlier ones had a 3 number code that corresponded to the correct key for the locks. Here's a guy with a bunch of different ones for sale on eBay. Ed

Good Fortune!

I think the easiest thing to do is to remove the helmet lock - it should have a code on it, probably 4 digits.

Here's a reply by someone over at the KawasakiMotorcycle.org site:

I found a really good locksmith. He looked up the code on the back of the helmet hook/seat lock. It took him a while but, $22 later, Voila! Two new keys...

Hi There

Just an up date on the key used a web site called Keys In The Post.com they are also on eBay.
Just emailed them the code off the ignition barrel, 3 days later and £15.98 for two keys brilliant service

I got one for my '76 KZ750B from Johnny's Vintage Motorcycle. The direct link to his Kawasaki key codes is: www.johnnysvintagemotorcycle.com/Parts/Kawasaki/Keys.aspx
I found the code in several places; the bottom of the ignition switch,the seat lock and the helmet holder lock.

Good luck!

I got lucky as my parts bike came with the same key code and works fine.

Thanks so much for this, just after starting my 1980 KZ550A restoration project, I misplaced the one key that came with the bike. Found this forum post and after working with a locksmith and pulling the helmet lock... there was no serial number, just a smooth black surface... as I was putting it back in, a chunk of the grease/dirt/creosote fell off revealing the key code. So, after a minute of scrubbing we got the whole thing and had keys in hand by the end of the day.

Side note mentioned by the locksmith, "A lot of vintage bike owners that have the original owners manual will jot down the key code in the manual for future owners or in case you lose the key."

I recorded the key code in a couple of word files & have spare keys. plus I keep a spare key bolted to the frame, wrapped in electrical tape with some wiring so it looks like part of the wire harness.
