"I have a 84 KZ1300 that I believe jumped the timing chain. My close friend was going to fix it and we share it but he was killed in a snowmobile accident. The bike has not run for 4 years. What can I get for it either selling whole or parting out and where would be the best place to market."
Located in Northern Illinois just west of I-90 at Ill.Wisc. state line

Someone there would love to have it. Tell them you have an ebay auction going and let them bid.

Good luck.

That’s a cool and interesting old bike, but too complicated a restoration for anyone but an expert.

    If you’re in the U.S. and the bike is an ‘84, then it has to be the ZN Voyager full dresser. If not, then it has to be an ‘82 or earlier. Those 6 cylinder engines were known to have poor cam chain tensioners that would let it jump time, causing a piston to hit a valve or two. Exhaust valves aren’t made anymore, thus repairing it would be expensive and the engine are quite complex for anyone who isn’t mechanically proficient. As a result, most 1300 owners that let the tensioner go out and damage the engine part the bike out. Take it somewhere to repair and you could easily be looking at a $1500 repair bill and that’s if you can even find anyone willing to work on it. Most Kawasaki shops won’t work on a 25 year old bike like yours.

    Where are you located at?

    Japanese motorcycles from that time period have an extremely low appreciation value, even in good condition and running. Best bet for you is to part the bike out on E-bay.
