Kawasaki 650 CSR Motorcycle - Street (1981-1983)

The Kawasaki 650 CSR, a distinctive cruiser motorcycle, was produced from 1981 to 1983, offering a unique blend of performance and style for the North American market. All models featured a robust 652 cc engine. The 1981 KZ650-H1 CSR initially delivered 60 horsepower, characterized by its inaugural "chopper styling" with raised handlebars, a rounder fuel tank, and wire-spoke wheels. Significant updates were introduced in subsequent years. For 1982, the KZ650-H2 CSR saw an engine power increase to 67 hp, alongside new CV carburetors, a clutch upgrade, and updated fork internals. The tail light also changed from round to rectangular. The 1983 KZ650-H3 CSR further evolved with forged wheels, a departure from previous models, and received minor updates to the engine (new pistons with four rings) and fork internals, including air valves. These annual revisions ensured the 650 CSR remained a competitive and evolving model throughout its production run. Q: How can I confirm this part fits my Kawasaki 650 CSR?
