The Spectre has a different VIN >> JKAKZDN instead of what he has.

... ZN700 Ltd Shaft. not mine.

1984 ZN750-A1 Ltd Shaft JKAZNDA14EA000392

yup mine has curved spokes and shields 750 LTD, no idea what country it was imported from, but im in russia if it can affect anything
looks pretty much the same with www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/kawasaki...i_ZN_750_LTD_84.html cept 2 brake discs on the front wheel on mine

That one on motorcycelspecs.co.za has a dual disk Fr brake.
The RH disk is kind of obscured in the first pic, but clearly visible in the 2nd.
I posted a request for a wiring diagram on another forum. this morning.

yup yup but it says 700 and i meant the one in the link, too many modifications if you ask me, gave me a pain in arse when i d bought replacement front forks that had different fender mounts bugger! and thanks heaps for the help brother!

as a sign of gratitude to every one who tried to help me with finding the bloody wiring diagram, here are a few sneak pics of the bike, Night Rider is his name, remember him when you look in to the night sky!
not a trolley bike any more and you are the first to see it standing on 2 wheels again

Someone on another forum with a ZN700 sent this wiring diagram. It's from the Kawasaki KZ750 Shaft manual.
The 84 ZN700 & ZN750 use the same diagram.

...ZN700-A1 & ZN750-A1 click image &/or open image in new window to enlarge. It's big.


ps: for future reference you might want to edit your signature to say ZN750 Ltd Shaft (non-USA).

will do, thanks lots mate!

another question popped up when i was routing the wiring harness. the voltage regulator has 5 wires, the harness has 6 wires, the intermediate connector has fried wires (just 5, too) hopefully, due to damaged insulation. any way, the brown/white wire isnt connected to the regulator. also, chinese regulators ive found on ebay are having 6 wires. so the question is why mine has just 5 wires? according to the wiring diagram, the brown/white wire goes from the ignition switch to junction box, no idea what it really connects

The brown/white wire to the voltage regulator is the voltage sensing wire that the voltage regulator uses to determine whether or not to charge the battery. My ignition switch has a brown wire instead of brown/white, but it serves the same function.

The 5-wire voltage regulators have the voltage sensing function built into the circuitry, so the brown wire isn't needed.

If you need a replacement voltage regulator, you can probably use one from a Ninja 500 or Vulcan 500 or some other model (credit to loudhvx). Some of the later models from about 2010-on don't have a wiring pigtail on the reg-rec. I installed a good used one from a low mileage 2007 EX500. The connector terminals were reversed, so I cut them off & installed new terminal pins to mate with the wire harness. I also got a new plastic connector from CycleTerminal.com as the old one crumbled.

gotcha Martin. are the chinese ones total crap?

I don't know. I avoid made in china whenever possible. I'd rather get a good used part that was made in Japan. In addition the the OEM Kawasaki reg-rec I installed mentioned above, I recently installed a good used Honda CBR500 brake master cylinder >> OEM & made in Japan.

ZN700 voltage regulator. From the diagrams at Partzilla the 84 ZN700 voltage regulator doesn't have a wiring pigtail, so a reg-rec from a model without a pigtail might be a good fit for your ZN750. For example the 2010 Ninja 250. The ZN700 probably had the same wire harnesses as the ZN750 & both probably had the same voltage regulator.

righto sometimes they work, but you cant be sure ever, i mean chinese goodies
