Why do I bring you to this page first?
So you'll read the warning on the Cam Chain Tensioner problem posted at the bottom, and BOOKMARK THIS PAGE (add to your Favorites) in your browser. That way you can retain a link on your computer to this page which will have 'text' links, instead of the new graphical links that will eventually be on all the other pages on the site. This is the only page that will remain with text links, instead of the 'Star Trek' link bar that you see on most all of the other pages now. It will have the most important links, and it will have the most updated links, even if some of the other links on other pages are wrong.
Also check out my Reverse Trike Club if you're into these new style 2F1R trikes (2 wheels in front, 1 wheel in the rear) at - reversetrike.com
Official Reverse Trike Radio Show on Blog Talk Radio (started 3/28/08 - weekly shows for the Reverse Trike Club are tentatively scheduled for 9:30AM every Friday. So, my plan is to choose a different day and time to do a show for the KZ1300 Club if there's enough interest. Then I can use the BTR show for the trike club, to schedule weekly shows for our club, and just use the same site for both. That's much easier than starting up a whole other Blog Talk Radio show for the KZ site).

The KZ1300 is a 6-cylinder Kawasaki motorcycle that was manufactured between 1979 and 1989. There were a few different models made over the years referred to as a Z1300, KZ1300, ZG1300 and ZN1300, but the one thing they have in common, is that they all share the water-cooled Kawsaki inline 6cyl motor. You can see the differences in the models by reading this site and looking at the various pictures I have posted. But personally I ride a ZN1300 Voyager because I like the full dress bike with a lower seat height, air suspension, fuel injection, full fairing and bags, and other features that this model had.
I might also like riding a ZG1300 with fuel injection, but ZG1300's were never imported to the USA. However, I am making fuel injection conversion kits for the Z1300 / KZ1300 which you can see below, and these conversions are very similar to what you have in a ZG1300. My wife likes the color purple, so for some reason we ended up with a Voyager painted in 'House Of Colors - Passion Pearl'. Not quite the color purple either one of us had in mind, but you don't get lost in a crowd that's for sure!

The bikes or parts shown in the 'Reference file Database' are not for sale, only to look at for comparison between the different year bikes so you can see what year part you have or what year bike you have. I've separated the image pages by year and made notes on the images on each page that I'm sure about, but some parts will fit multiple years whether noted that way or not. Some parts fit one year only, some were only made for European models or Z1300's, some were only made to fit KZ1300's, some were only made to fit 'B' models, ZG1300 models or ZN1300 models, etc. These pages and content have been moved to the Members DVD.
The reason for moving all these files to the DVD is that I've run into a snag. My host only allows me to have a maximum of 20,000 files on one domain name. This kz1300.com domain was maxed out at 20,000 files, so I had to pull files off the site to make room for more tech articles and images of members bikes.
If you have 1300 images, magazine articles, or other relevant material I can use for this site, please contact david@kz1300.com. I'm always looking for more content to add to the site!

In fact, sometimes the information you get could be wrong, so use your own discernment. I've read through all of the site, and some info might be based solely on the basis of one members opinion, or experience. I make no claims as to the accuracy of the info, rather I ask that if any member notices something that doesn't appear to be stated correctly, they email me so I can add their changes or concerns to that page when I update it.
Keep in mind that on a site this big with around 20,000 URL's and some similar information spread across 3 or 4 or more different pages at times, it's almost impossible to keep every page up to date with the correct information. Some pages will conflict, but if you'll make an effort to email me and be very specific about what doesn't jive with what, then I'll make an effort to correct the affected pages. After all, I don't have anything better to do with my life than to maintain this huge website all by myself. Right! Well anyway, I intended for it to be as accurate as possible, even if you find obvious flaws.
