Question:

What does the letter in a motorcycle mean? 130/90B16?

Some tires have an H or MV or V What do these stane for?

Answer:

In the 80's, the GPz was the souped up version of the the standard chain drive model. Then in the early 80's you had the touring only ZN, which used a modified KZ1300 6 cylinder engine in a totally new touring package, frame, fuel injection, etc. This was followed by a smaller 4 cylinder touring only bike, the ZG. To tell you the truth, even though I've been a loyal Kawasaki rider for 29 years, I have a hard time figuring it all out. Sometimes I think there is no pattern to their model lettering.
Give it a shot, if you can weld. Shouldn't be a problem. If not, just take it to your local shop, a couple of hundred and the jobs done.
