lost front sprocket nut and washer? 1982 KZ1000LTD

both you guys are awesome. thank you so much. you dont know how much i appreciate it. i just got the bike Tuesday so i havent had alot of time looking at or for parts.

I remember a Federal recall back in 1981 or 1982 about that retaining bolt loosening up and falling out on the KZ1000 J's, CSR's, and the LTD's. Thats when that recall kit came out. I remember the service department installing them. Make sure you use some Loctite on the bolt.

Too bad Kawasaki did not keep their tried and true counter sprocket nut and locktab that worked great from 1973 to 1980 on all the 900's and 1000's!!!

Funny thing the 1982 KZ1000S1 road racer came with the old style counter sprocket nut,locktab,and threaded output shaft, and not that newfangled mounting bolt system.

I've been a member for a bit less than a year and I'm continually amazed by the assistance provided by one member to another. Guys like Patton, 650ed and MartinCSR always seem to be there answering questions and offering guidance. Furthermore, I don't think I've ever seen anyone not be civil to another member. What a change from some of the car-related forums I frequent.
