model identification

I got a 1982 kz1000, and have no idea which model it is, im trying to figure out the wiring from the Previous Owner and I need to know if im working on a j1, j2, K1, K2, m1, m2, I have no idea how to tell the diff, all covers and tanks are gone, and Im still waiting on the title!, can I tell from the vin# or what, I appreciate any help, thanks in advance!

Try www.zedder.com .

If you know your vin number you should be able to determine your model on their web site.

If it is an 82, then it is an X2 (X being J,K, or M).

K and M both have the front axle mounted on the front of the forks, M has wire spoke wheels while K has mags,

J has the front axle mounted directly on the bottom of the forks and has mag wheels.

That should be enough for you to figure out what you have.

wire wheels, mounted in front, I have an M!!!
Thanks so much!
