I think the SR should have a rear disk brake. Either someone swapped it out or it isn't an SR.

The KZ650-D (SR) models all started life with a rear disk brake. What is the VIN on the steering neck; maybe it is not a KZ650-D model? Ed

Its a 1980 KZ650E1 sold as a 650LTD. Its a 650SR with a drum rear brake.

I think it was a one year model too!!!

And if I remember right its only got a single front disc setup too!!

Kawasaki's way of keeping the price down!!!

If I could get that damm kawasaki.com site to work right, I could tell you for sure!!
