Welcome to my little Kawasaki KZ750 Twin info site.
To get started, click on any of the categories at the right side of the page or the links at the top of the page. Or if you need to find something more specific (like “service manuals”), use the search at the top right.
Enjoy! …and thanks for stopping by…
hi there! im hoping you can shed some light on this for me. i have an 83 kz750-k1 twin. It is in awesome condition and i love it. the problem im having is id like to find a drivers back rest for it to compliment the forward pegs i put on it. i cant seem to find any universal back rests either. If you know of anything that would help me out it would be greatly appreciated! thank you for your time, Joe Henning
@Joe
I’m afraid I won’t be much help in that regard either. With the ‘83, you already have a mildly stepped seat I think, so there wouldn’t be much room for a back rest. However, I’ve seen luggage racks in the past that have like a sissy bar / backrest that had the ability to slide way forward. You might have to find one and adapt it! Or invent one, and sell them…
Make sure to drop by the Kawasaki Twins Owners Forum and ask that question there… maybe somebody who has one of those later models will know better than me…

I hope that helps! And make sure to look under the “Forums” category too, and stop by the “KTOF” and we’ll help get you taken care of there!
Are you interested in any stock parts for 750???
Hi;
Just reading an article that I found at the mikuni carb web site.(Ian williams tuning). Its the basic principal of the cv carbs. It says if your pilot air screw is on the back of the carb it make the mixture richer if it is turned in. if its on the front of the carb , when turned in it makes the mixture leaner.
Is this correct?
This may sound really stupid, But. Which is the front of the carb, the air intake at the filter side or the air outlet at the manifold side.
@ Joe
…that’s funny. I assume that by “front”, mean the *functional* front, not the facing front. Either way, on the 750 twin, if you turn the pilot screw *in*, you are making it run more lean. Turning it *out* makes it more rich.
Hi, I have a 76 B1 and need a rotar and the starter gear, can you help?
thanks.chris
@Chris
Sorry, but I don’t have any spares of those parts. I’m sure you’ve already been trolling eBay for these parts. The only other options for such non-aftermarket parts are to ask in forums like KTOF or to find specific “breakers”/ “junkyards” with websites. Of course, maybe someone will see this and chime in to help out…
The commenter “gerry” above left an email address, I can send him a message and provide him your email address if you wish (I won’t do it without your approval), but I am in no way affiliated with him, nor do I wish to be involved in any transactions.
Hi there,
I think we chatted last year via the 440 forum. Couple of things; what do you recommend to do to winterize your bikes? i pull out the battery, drain the float bowls, spray some storage spray in the cylinders and put stabil in the fuel tank. Any thing else you can think of? Thanks.
Other question is, I have a KZ900 that I’m trying to get rid of. When I do I’m thinking of searching for a csr 750. My wife and I have 2 new motorcycles but we love the old 440 and I figure if I had a 750 that we could ride those bikes together more often. Any ideas where I could find a good one? Thanks, Andrew
@Andrew
Hi! I pretty much do what you did for winterization. I also lower tires to 15-20 lbs, put them up on centerstands and wood blocks, and put old wewlcome mats under the tires. I put about a tbls or so of motor oil in the plug holes. And, I almost always change the oil before the winter nap. I also do a few situational variations. For instance, I left the tank on one bike (with Sta-Bil-ized fuel) for rapid summer restoration, but otherwise I usually take the tank down to my relatively low-humidity basement with 2-cycle oil or something sloshed around inside. Of course, I toss and replace my fuel lines and filters every year too.
As for finding a CSR, I’m afraid I can’t me much help. But getting rid of a 900? I hope you’re not expecting 900-like performance…
