Hello, dahltron, and WELCOME to KZr!
Even a horrible looking master cylinder may sometimes be refurbished to useable condition, especially where the bore isn't too badly pitted.
Requires thorough cleaning, dressing the bore, clearing the supply and relief ports, etc.
The FSM should include a diagram showing exactly how the master cylinder is supposed to function during application and release of brake.
If needed, here's a down-loadable on-line version of the Factory Service Manual (FSM).
Click > jarlef.no/Kawasaki/Series/Z/650/z650files.htm
With a FORUM SEARCH, may find several good threads here on KZr about resolving master cylinder issues.
But in any event we'll be happy to walk ya through it.
Good Fortune!

Unfortunately www.powersportsplus.com is one of those crappy sites that shows a price for every part for every model Kawasaki as if they can supply it, but notice their web page says "Product Obsolete." You can try them, but I can assure you they simply order available parts from Kawasaki on an "as needed" basis rather than carrying an inventory of parts. So when Kawasaki tells them the part is no longer available they will refund your money. Meanwhile you have lost time fixing your bike. Sadly, they are not the only site that pulls this crap. The good news is, very many obsolete parts are still available if you search the right places that actually carry an inventory. Here's an example of www.powersportsplus.com bullcrap. In the link below they show a price for a new frame for a 1973 Z1. In fact, they will show a price for every part of a Z1 or any other bike even though there's no way they can deliver.

No problem; they fooled me a little while back too. I saw they had a price on a part I wanted, but then I saw they had a price for everything and realized they did not delete prices for items they cannot deliver. Ed
