About the Kawasaki KZ1300
Parts for the KZ1300 family, with A- and B-model applications kept in view.
Kawasaki introduced its water-cooled, six-cylinder Z1300 in 1979, with shaft drive and three twin-choke carburetors. The KZ1300 collections bring together our catalog’s A- and B-model repair applications. They are a useful starting point for restoring the fuel system, renewing gaskets and working through brake or clutch repairs.
Shared service parts still need a model and year
Several products below list KZ1300A 1979–1982 and KZ1300B 1980. That overlap can help you find a carburetor kit, rear brake pads or front master-cylinder kit. It does not make every A-model part a B-model part, and a wider engine-gasket entry does not establish the fit of a fork or fuel-system component.
| Part | KZ1300A | KZ1300B |
|---|---|---|
| Carburetor rebuild kit | 1979–1982 | 1980 |
| Rear brake pads | 1979–1982 | 1980 |
| Front master-cylinder kit | 1979–1982 | 1980 |
| Clutch spring kit | 1979–1982 | 1980 |
These are product applications, not a production-year chart. The matching products are linked below.

Distinguish the fitted fuel system
A KZ1300 or Z1300 family name does not identify every engine and fuel-system version.
Parts checkpoint: Do not transfer carburetor-kit fitment to a fuel-injected model.
