First production started from year 1980 last till year 1984. During a period of production have experienced of several times changes of model. In the year 1984 before closed, Binter release last model , with appearance more sporty or which is is ordinary to be referred as by tank new merzy.
Since first version [released] that is in the year 1980 up to last version, Binter Merzy KZ200 have experienced of several times innovate for example completed him of system ignition of conventional system to CDI system ( Capasitive Discharge Ignition) or Ignition of Electronic so that ignition become more constant and not need tuning of routine ignition as does if using conventional ignition system.

Stopping your KZ200 in an Emergency

Improper maintenance and insufficient riding skills can create a dangerous situation known as throttle failure. Two of the most common causes of throttle failure are :
1. During removal of the air cleaner by the owner, dirt is allowed to enter and jam carburetor.
2. A novice may forget which direction the throttle rotates; then jerk the throttle wide open thinking he has shut is off; panic when machine accelerates suddenly instead of slowing down; and "freeze", holding the throttle wide open.
Kawasaki has provided an engine stop switch or button on all its motorcycles which may be used to safely stop your motorcycle in an emergency. Alternatively, your motorcycle may be stopped by applying the brakes and disengaging the clutch. If the engine stop switch is used, turn off the ignition switch after stopping the motorcycle

Tips to Storage your KZ200 at Winter Season
Tips to storage your KZ200 at Winter Season
When the motorcycle is to be stored for any length of time, such as during the winter season, it should be prepared for storage as follows:
· Clean the entire vehicle thoroughly.
· Empty the fuel from the fuel tank, and empty the carburetor by unscrewing the drain screw at the float bowl. ( If left in for a long time, the fuel will break down and could clog the carburetor.)
· Remove the empty fuel tank, pour about 250 cc (0,25 ) of motor oil into the tank, roll the tank around to coat the inner surfaces thoroughly, and pour out the excess oil.
Warning Fuel is flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Performs this procedure in a well ventilated area, away from sparks or flames (smoking materials).
· Remove the spark plug and put several drops of SE class SAE 30 oil into the cylinder. Push the starter button a few seconds to coat the cylinder wall with oil, and install the spark plug.
· Reduce tire pressure by about 20%.
· Set the motorcycle on a box or stand so that both wheels are raised off the ground. ( if this cannot be done, put boards under the front and rear wheels so keep dampness away from the tire rubber.)
· Spray oil on all unpainted metal surfaces to prevent rusting. Avoid getting oil on rubber parts or in the brakes.
· Lubricate the drive chain and all the cables.
· Remove the battery, and store it where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight, moisture, or freezing temperatures. During storage it should be given a slow charge (one ampere or less) about once a month. Keep the battery well charged during cold weather so that the electrolyte does not freeze and crack open the battery. The more discharged the battery becomes, the more easily freezers.
· Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe to prevent moisture from entering.
· Put a cover over the motorcycle to keep dust and dirt from collecting on it.
To put the motorcycle back into use after storage:
· Check the electrolyte level in the battery, charge the battery if necessary, and install it in the motorcycle. Be careful that the battery vent hose is not pinched and that it is routed away from the chain.
· Make sure the spark plug is tight.
· Fill the fuel tank with fuel.
Warning Fuel is flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Always fill the tank in a well ventilated area, away from sparks and flames (smoking material).
· Run the engine for about five minutes to warm the oil, and drain theion section.
