techometer

A pic of engine would likely help toward identifying the model.




Good Fortune!

Cow head? Strain your brain? Right. LOL! Let someone else doing all the work for your lame-ness.

Glad you said it, not me. I still don't know what year and model bike it is. There have been a few that refuse to give answers to specific questions. Well then, they won't get them from me ether.

According to Zedder.com, KZT00AE106032 is within the range of engine numbers in 1980 KZ1000-A4 MKII. (KZTOOAE093001 - 110764)

KZ1000-A4 MKII VIN (vehicle identification number) range is KZTOOA-523551 - 527553.

The motorcycle at hand might not have the original engine.

The VIN is usually shown on a label affixed to the steering neck.

Good Fortune!

Based on Patton's post, it looks like your engine is from a 1980 KZ1000-A4. This engine has a mechanical output for the tachometer driven by the cam shaft. The cable drive output is on the front right side of the cylinder head, above the number 3 exhaust port.

I bet he never gets that bike sorted.

I pass.

hello people; Sometimes I get ahead of myself and forget about obvious things. My tech. is driven from where (thanks DOHC) says as (I believe) the wiring coming the gauges are for lights for them. I don't have a speedo cable and had a brain fart about the tech.
IMO any site is there for help and if someone would know an answer or has experience in a subject alot of time would be shortened searching for answers. I've been to sites where members say "do a search" and they know the answer all along. If I know an answer you'll get it and no searching needed. That's how I am anyway.
One more clue about my parts bike a stripped. I still have the tank. It's smallish, locking cap, black with two stripes going front to back on the lower sides. Ones red fading into silver at the bottom stripe.
thanks for any help good or bad.
I'll be back.
