Usually pin tumblers.
Only 4 pins in older Kawis, then around 1979 went to 6 pin keys.
May be lucky to pick it, all depends on the key cut.
A long pin (deep cut) next to a short pin (shallow cut) can make picking harder.
Some lube into the lock first will help to pick it.

I have not seen wafers in older Kawasaki locks.They are wafer locks. Pretty easy to pick.
