New confused guy...

I figured i should probably join this forum since i have a lot of questions and not a lot of people nearby to answer them. I'm slightly confused as to which model/year bike i have. I just bought it on Saturday and am diving headfirst into getting my first bike running and roadworthy. How can i identify my bike by the VIN? Vin number is KZT00B500731 and the date of manufacture of 2/77. I'm starting to believe this bike has different carbs on it, or it's not a 900 like i was told. Help please! Thanks in advance!

Might the engine number actually be Z1E021754 instead of Z1E21754?Cmac12587 wrote: The number on the motor is Z1E21754....

Meanwhile, there's some excellent carb identification info at Z1 Enterprises.

Look like the carbs could be stock Mikuni 28mm carbs for '74 Z1-A 900.
The carbs with three screws holding down the caps (covers) were introduced on the 1976 KZ900 models.
