Vehicle Information
Kawasaki KZ200 Motorcycle - Street (1978-1979)
The Kawasaki KZ200, offered in 1978 and 1979, was a lightweight, air-cooled motorcycle designed for urban commuting and light touring. It featured a robust 198 cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a single overhead camshaft (SOHC) and a 5-speed transmission. This engine consistently delivered 17 to 18 horsepower, providing reliable performance for its class. For the 1978 and 1979 model years, the KZ200 maintained a consistent design without significant mid-cycle generation or engine changes. While designated as KZ200-A1 for 1978 and KZ200-A2 for 1979, these were primarily model year identifiers rather than distinct trim levels. The motorcycle utilized a conventional points-type ignition system throughout this period. Q: How can I ensure this part fits my 1978-1979 Kawasaki KZ200?
A: To confirm compatibility, please use the year and model selector located at the top of this page.
