I have a 82 KZ1100a1 with the 80mph speedo. IS there a plug and play speedo that will swap in with a higher MPH on it?

Check ebay. Look under kz1000, kz750, kz650. I think all of those fit, thoug I'm not positive.

I don't think anything else will fit. Looking at my newly purchased CD, it appears your style of speedo was used on 1981-82 KZ1000 and KZ1100 all of which had a 85mph speedometer. In 1983 they went to a different style instruments that go to 160 mph but won't fit on your earlier model. So I think you are stuck. Very unusual speedometer arrangement in 1981 and 1982. Horrifically expensive parts.

Yep as Ron said, pretty weird bunch of speedos. I just bought a new one from steeles ya know Ron? It was used. And I hook this thing up and I think the speedo is like 10 or 20 miles slow, but when I look at the km part it seems to be showing what the mph feels like seeing that there is no way that I can be on like 8000rpm on first and only at 15mph. ven my 650 hits 25 at 6000 rpm.

thanks guys, Guess I'll just have to live with it. No big deal.

I had the same question...is there an aftermarket solution? Just curious about how fast I was really going:lol:
