1979 KZ1300 frame# KZT30A-001307...engine# 001380 made 2/79. mileage 32310. All paint appears to be stock, there are some small imperfections that include scratches, small dents, fading, flaking-peeling that would be associated with stock 35 year old paint on a bike that has been ridden. The chrome has imperfections that include battery acid stains left side, rust, scratches. All in all the paint and the chrome are very good. It has the air box tool tray top and the factory tool kit. The gas tank has been lined and appears to holding well. All lights appear to work as they should. The cooling fan turns on and off automatically as it should. The carbs were supposedly rebuilt and they appear the work well as the bike starts good, runs smooth, idles well cold or warm. It has a new K&N air filter installed. I was told by previous owner the valves were adjusted in near past, I have not checked them myself. Bike still has stock coils and the fuel solenoid is included though not on the unit. Bike has a good battery that holds a charge and the charging system appears to work as it should. It has stock mirrors and turn lights. All side covers are in good condition with no cracks or broken mount pins and most all if not all mount grommets have been replaced. The seat is in good condition both top and bottom with one small hole on the right edge. The speedometer has some minor warpage on the top side of the outer box cover; it probably had something glued on it at some time. The horns and horn mounting hardware are correct for the year and they work. The brake pads were inspected and they are 75%+ and the brake fluid was changed. The brakes feel strong. I put in new steering head bearings as the original set were rutted; I used genuine KAWASAKI bearings. The swing arm bearings felt good so I didn't pull them out and inspect/pack them. The odometer reading when compared to the cosmetic issues indicate the reading is correct ( my opinion ). I've never plated this unit although I do ride one every year and have since 1982. I think the previous owner plated it at least once.The unit has a stock cam chain tensioner with a anti-back-off bolt added to it. I can provide a stock cam chain tensioner that has not had the anti-back-off bolt added to it; also, I can provide a ZX11 positive lock tensioner with either a stock spring or a modified spring. I can provide additional specific photos if need be. I will provide a GENUINE KAWASAKI SHOP MANUAL with the unit but I don't have an owners manual to go with unit. I'm probably forgetting something.....text/call 260-367-1160... The buyer is responsible for arranging shipping.
