I have a 1986 Suzuki Intruder. I had the same problem. Usually, if the battery has a resource that charges the battery whie you start, (Jumping it) it will do fine ONLY because the batter that you jump the Kawasaki with, it is using the batter that you Jump it with to power it. I would recommend getting a new Battery for the Kawasaki.
AnswerBegin by checking for corrosion and loose connections at the battery, solenoid and starter. Take care when you jump start your bike. If you jump from a car, make sure the car is NOT running. The voltage regulator on the car will increase the output from the alternator to compensate for your weaker system and this can fry your bike's electrics...Wiki User

What type of engine oil should be used in a Kawasaki KZ750?
I have the 1982 Kz750 LTD. I am just using Castrol 10w40 car oil. It must be 10w40 or more, 10w30 and lower viscosity oil has an additive in it the will mess up the clutch. So 10w40 is what i would suggest. But you can buy expensive motorcycle oil, but it is pretty much the same.

Have you tried checking the needle and seat in the carb. Sounds like it may be sticking closed. Best way to check this is to remove float bowl and move the float up and down by hand. if needle moves then it should be ok if not try pulling it out of main jet and blow air into it.

What would make a 1980 KZ750 kick start jam in neutral I removed stator cover and wrenched the crank it turns fine. Clutch in kick start cranks but not the engine. Was running great?
If i understand correctly when you have the clutch lever pulled in and try to kick start it the kick start spins freely. I also have that same issue it has to be in neutral with clutch let out then kick it over, maybe a safety thing
