GAS TANK SIZE was created by rdbhere2

Is the kz1300 gas tank smaller than the Touring gas tank? Anyone know the dimensions of the Touring tank at its widest points left to right sides? Thx

Touring model-“B”- is 2.1g bigger
It is bulgier and taller
Emblems(badges) pedestals are different and do NOT interchange. “B” is rare and highly desired, when in good condition-$500 and up

There are the total of 3 tanks:
KZ1300: 20.5 & 21.4 litres (peanut-tank/ the round one and the more cubic one as shown on the photo)
Z1300 & (K)Z1300 B1: 27 litres

sorry, no idea about the dimensions though I believe that the square-ones can be easily changed.

Measuring both while still mounted on the bike i get - 1980 kz 17 3/4" wide,24" long, and 9 1/2" tall at the gas cap. 1980 kz b-2 touring 18" wide,24" long, 10 3/4" tall. Like i said thats still mounted on the bikes so i may be off by a small amount. Hope this helps.

1980 Kz 1300 b2 touring
1980 kz 1300 A2

DO NOT FORGET.............

If you fit the LARGER Euro / Touring tank to a KZ, the R/H handlebar switch is different as the throttle cables comes out of the BOTTOM on the KZ switch and out of the TOP on the Z switch, to allow for the larger tank.
