Here is one of the igniter;

Finally here is one of the motor:

Someone went to a lot of trouble to put that bike together out of at minimum three other bikes. This was NOT a performance build just due to the fact that they went threw all the trouble and mounted CV carbs, Took all of the paint off of the engine (1982 Serial#)

The frame serial # is definitely a fictitious serial #. There never was a zx1100B In 83-85 the models were zx1100-A1 threw A3. In 1986 the bike went to water cooled and turned into the C1. Looking at the instruments, this is not a US/Canadian model. Because the wiring diagrams were completely different between the North American models and the "Others" PM me your email address and I will scan the diagram and email it to you. It will be for the 83 model since I do not have it for the 84-85 model. You will have to do quite a bit of rewiring with the ignition, and most likely have to change it all together. Post a picture of the pickups underneath the points cover. This will tell us what the ignition should be. You won't be able to use the ignition box at all since it must be run with the injection computer. You will have to convert either to a Dyna ignition or a non injection Kawasaki ignition. What's under the points cover will tell us what options you have. Also, since your injection computer is no longer being used, you will loose most of the displays on the instruments.

OK that does not surprise me at all. The motor has been repainted silwer. If I can get a wiring diagram that matches the relay/fuse panel and the LCD unit I should be able to get everything working. Apparently the harness I have was fitted and the bike was running before being taken apart
Hopefully someone will be able get me a wiring diagram or the closest one. At the moment my biggest stumbling block is a schematic for the relay/fuse unit.
Thanks for the help so far to all!

I would also pull the top end off to see what engine you have and what has been done to it. This will determine what you can or can't do with the bike. I have a strong suspicion that what was once a 120Hp bike is now in the 90Hp range. As I stated before, PM me your email address and I will email the diagram to you. Kawasaki calls it a "Junction Box" what you are calling a relay fuse unit.

Here is the fuse and relay pack that fits the harnass:
I need the wiring diagram for this:

Called a "Junction Box" by Kawasaki. Depending on the bike, model, location, they are not all the same and are not all hooked up exactly the same. Much of this stuff is for the Fuel injection, and computerized ignition.

The EFI circuitry and wires have already been removed and the bike was running without it, apparently before being taken apart. I am thus assuming that the ignitor, which fits the harness, was the one that the bike was running on after modded back to carbs.
Here is a picture of the pickups:

Hi Otakar, PM sent - thanks.

That is a late model ignition that will not advance without the injection computer. This means that the ignition must be either replaced with a Dyna 2000 or the entire ignition including mechanical advancer will have to be installed.

Looking at the ignition pick ups(pulsing coils) for this engine I see they have removed the mechanical ignition advancer and put in something from a later bike.

The 1982 engine was black,had FI,the fuses were the older glass tubed type with fuse clips,and a mechanical ignition advancer with different ignition pick ups.


Sorting out the wiring will have you pulling your hair one strand at a time.

This is a 1983 and up ignition.
