How can you VISIBLY tell the difference between the KZ1300A1 shallow oil pan (4.5Liter) and the KZ1300B2 and newer model deep oil pans (6.3Liter)?
The later model oil pans have the drain plug facing downwards on the very bottom, on earlier models it faced forward towards the front of the bike. I don’t know the exact measurement, but the larger oil pan is 1 1/2 to 2 inches deeper. Enough space to hold almost two liters of oil! Q: How can I fix the oil starvation problems I ve heard about on the early model 1300 s? Are oil sumps and oil pick-ups interchangeable between model years? A: The easiest and best way is to find the oil pan of any 1300 B2 or 81′ and newer 1300. The 1300 Voyager is also a perfect donor. They simply bolt right on and add another 1 – 1/2 quarts or more to your capacity. You will have to remove the exhaust system to accomplish this. Make sure the oil pickup is the correct length for the oil pan you’re using! The deep pans use a longer pickup than the older shallow pans. Also, the Voyager pan is different than a large B2 or 81′-82′ KZ pan so there will be interference problems if you’re using a stock exhaust. So
