What kind of bike is the Kawasaki Z1B?
THE BIKE SPECIALISTS, TRADING STANDARDS AWARD WINNERS. We are very proud to present for sale this beautiful 1974 Kawasaki Z1B. The Z1B varies from the earlier Z1 and Z1A with changes including increased power output, improved suspension, stiffer frame and improved breaking.
Is the Z1-B-zedrider still in use?
The chain and sprockets were well past their use by date and we knew that the whole transmission would be renewed before she could be used safely on the road again. The original front tyre from 1975 was still fitted – a good sign that the low mileage was genuine – and both tyres and inner tubes would be replaced before any road work could happen.
Is the engine number correct for a 1975 Z1-B?
The non standard paint added to the Harley inspired look. More importantly the frame and engine number were correct for a 1975 Z1-B and this matched the data on the headstock sticker (USA bikes only). The frame was intact and a missing main stand and fittings were quickly sorted out from Rick’s stockpile of kawa parts.
When did Kawasaki change the carburetor on the Z1?
Not much different looking than the 1470/1472 assemblies. In 1975, Kawasaki had Mikuni update the VM28SC carburetor assembly mainly to improve the motorcycle’s idle. The slide cut-out called the Throttle Valve Cutaway in documentation was reduced from 2.5 to 1.5.
Are there any silencers on a Kawasaki Z1?
There can be absolutely no denying that the lines of any Z1 are inarguably bang-on. Those acres of chrome are from another time when luxuriant plating wasn’t the bastion of custom bikes alone. There’s a lot of it on a Z1 but arguably it’s those four silencers that delineate the machines from their most obvious commercial rival, the Honda CB750/4.

What’s the difference between a Kawasaki Z1a and Z1B?
Normally you’d not expect there to be much difference between two model years. However, as is obvious by the pictures, the Z1A is factory brochure correct while the Z1B is a little modified yet nothing that cannot be returned to standard if so desired.
