Title: Is it an F1? F2? something else?
Post by: roconnor14 on December 16, 2006, 04:34:19 AM

Hi.  I'm new to this forum.  I have a vintage Kawasaki.  I'm not sure exactly what it is.  It looks similar to the f1 that is posted here: http://www.vintagebike.co.uk/Bike%20Directories/Kawasaki%20Bikes/pages/Kawasaki%20F1%201966%20(1).htm
It needs all the wiring replaced, which is the difficult part.  I got it from my uncle with no key or title after it had sat in a barn for a long time.  Mice chewed the wires.  It only has about 2000 miles and it does run.  I had to hook a battery up to the points and coil to run it and I couldn't ride it as I had it on the center stand and lots of parts were hanging off of it.  If anyone can tell me exactly what model/year it is and where I might find wiring diagrams I would really appreciate it.
I'll hopefully have time to take some pictures within about a week.

Hi
Don't know much about Kawasaki's so I can't help with model ID.
If you get the frame and engine numbers off the bike, you never know your friendly local Kawasaki dealer might be able to tell you what model it is. If not try Z-Power 01942 262864.
If you get stuck with the electrics, Ferret's Custom Elecktrickery 07765 832420 might help.
Good luck.
Grizzly

Sorry I (we?) cannot be more help, as these early Kawasaki models didn't seem to make it to the UK. The prefix could identify it as an F1 model? http://www.e-tabitha.com/Kawasaki.htm

I can only suggest you contact Rick Brett:
