Our 1977 KZ650-B1's are considered odd-balls since they use an earlier technology that uses a separate regulator and rectifier.

The 12 Vdc regulator is located under the left cover and looks like this:

The 3 Phase Vac to Vdc Full Wave rectifier is under the battery box and I don't have a picture of it. Not hard to find. Remove the right cover. It’s the only device under the battery box.

Best of success. :)

The three things to the right of the Voltage Regulator are automotive relays:

1) One for the WG Ignition Coil(s) Repowering Mod (you need it).

2) One for the Starter/Head Light Disconnect Mod (to save my battery).

3) One for the Hi/Lo Head Light selector (I needed it because of poor electircals).

See my Photobucket page for details:

You can get KZ650 part from Z1 Enterprises (good delivery):

www.z1enterprises.com/

I bought a new Rectifier, "R2-55a-KZ650 rectifier for early Kawasaki KZ650" and not yet installed, from Oregon Motorcycle Parts:

www.oregonmotorcycleparts.com/rectifiers3p.html



Also available from OMP is an affordable KZ650-B1 Voltage Regualator, "VR2-KZb" (have not bought this yet):



Best of success. :)
