Vehicle Information
Kawasaki GPz 305 Motorcycle - Street (1983)
The 1983 Kawasaki GPz 305 (model code EX305-B1) was a sport bike powered by a 306 cc air-cooled SOHC parallel-twin engine. This engine, an overbored version of the earlier ER250's 249 cc unit, delivered approximately 27 to 35 horsepower (20 to 26 kW) at 10,000 rpm, positioning the GPz 305 as an accessible yet spirited machine for its time. For the 1983 model year, the GPz 305 was offered as a single model without distinct trim levels. A significant update for 1983 was the introduction of a new Kevlar belt final drive, replacing the traditional chain drive found on previous iterations. This change aimed to offer a smoother, quieter, and potentially lower-maintenance power transfer. Q: Is this product compatible with my Kawasaki GPz 305?
A: To ensure perfect compatibility, please use the year and edition selector at the top of the page.
Maintenance
| Component | Interval | Details |
| Engine Oil Change | Approximately 1,600 km | More frequently if heavy use. Some owners opted for changes every 3,200 km, even if a 4,800 km interval was sometimes mentioned. Using Shell Gemini oil might extend the interval to 2,400-3,200 km. |
| Oil Filter Change | Approximately 1,600 km | Typically with each engine oil change. |
| Oil Gauze Filter Cleaning | Every second oil change | Located behind the oil pump, inside the clutch cover. Must be removed and cleaned to prevent significant engine issues. |
| Spark Plugs Replacement | 6,400 km (optimal performance) or 13,000 to 16,000 km | Can extend up to 24,000 to 32,000 km depending on riding style and plug quality. Specifications: NGK DPR9EA-9 or ND X27EPR-U9, gap 0.8-0.9 mm. |
| Air Filter Cleaning/Replacement | 4,000 to 6,000 km | More frequently if ridden in dusty conditions. For foam filters, the interval is often 4,800 to 8,000 km. |
| Drive Belt Inspection | As often as oil and filter changes (approximately 1,600 km) | Inspect belt condition and tension. Tension should be maintained between 9.5 and 17 mm. Lifespan can vary from 6,400 km (early wear) to 24,000 km, though some reported up to 160,000 km. |
| Coolant Replacement | Every 2 years | |
| Uni-trak Suspension Greasing | Twice a year | Disassemble and grease the Uni-trak suspension system. |
| Pre-Ride Checks | Daily | Verify fluid levels (oil, coolant, brake fluid), inspect tires, brakes, drivetrain, controls, and lights. |
