Answer
Hi Orlando,

Check price and availability of the belt at Bike Bandit "www.bikebandit.com" You can see microfiche parts here, too.

See microfiche parts here: "www.buykawasaki.com" or "www.bikebandit.com"

Once Kawasaki's site opens, click green text "Vehicle Information" from the menu, and then "View Parts Diagram" from the menu. A new page opens, select "Motorcycle" from the menu, (or enter your VIN for the “history” of your MC). Select the year, make and model from the menus that follow.


With Bike Bandit, click "OEM Parts" and then select your MC from the menus that follow.

While at either website, check for a Service (Repair) Manual for your KZ.

The task is a bit involved, but you can do it with the service manual and basic tool. Read up on the job in advance, and again while you work. Prepare and work patiently for best results.

Respectfully,
