Engine Numbers

[uk kev]

So I now have another question for you all to ponder.

I have just checked my V5c and the engine number is recorded as ....

KZT 70BE 026081



now I have tried to find a reference to this number but failed, so come on then tell me the worst...

check out zedder.com you'll find info there

I looked on there, but no joy, got me stumped.

They probably ran out of 1s and used a 7 instead! Either that or it's hot - but it looks like a genuine number - is it an import?

Click on Jeff's site Z1 enterprises he might have it under reference info? theres a link on the site here

Engine number should start KZT10BE.

[Padders]

Have to agree with Jack none of my ref books have a KZT then 7 in them. I would say its a ringer.

Kev,those numbers looka little moody to me.The 1 is completely wrong for a start and some of the others look like re-stampings.

Looks like I have been done over on this then! what to do now, that's the question.

[Ed Z1-R]

******S!!! what to do ?####! file n re stamp only after you slep the M.F. first!

[london calling]

There may be a genuine reason for the re-stamp????
As your bike is 25 years old,it's impossible to know what's happened in the past.
Kev your bike is built up from B1/B2 parts but may have been like that for many years and without contacting the previous owners you may never find out why and when this was done.

Well after a further clean up this morning, and a closer look it would appear that only the (1) has been overstamped, the rest all look original, so that would make the motor an ZX1100-A1.

I can't help thinking that there is too much "not right" with this bike, so I think I may well put it back up for sale again.

Thanks for all the help guys, I may well see you about.
Kev.
