Can someone please tell me these numbers match for the same 1976 Z900?

Engine no Z 1 F 101 925

Frame no Z 1 E 112 115

Hope I've posted this in the right place!

Ah, Invicta...I just replied to your other post! Well, the good news is that both the motor and frame VINs say 'Japanese production Z900A4'. The bad news is that the motor is not original to the bike. A late production Z900A4 motor (or cases, for that matter) were used. The rule of thumb is that motor and frame VINs for the Z1/Z900 series were generally within 200 to 400 of each other in the series. Yours are 10,000 apart. Very very early Z1s had literal matching motor/frame VINs but those bikes are exceptionally rare. Read the Kawasaki info posted on www.Z1Enterprises.com (opening page of the site has the link on the right-hand side).

I believe you mixed up the numbers, Z1F101925 should be the frame number, Z1E112115 the engine number - here's what Zedder.com says about the A4: CLICK

And welcome aboard btw.
77 KZ 650 B1, 82 GPz 1100 B2.
