The 1100 ELR Z1100R1 had the same engine spec as the uni-trak GPz1100s.
The Lawson was fitted with carbs and the GPz with fuel injection.
Is the problem with the engine number itself ??

There were supposedly 750 - 900 ELR's or eddie lawson replica's made in 1982 for the US and Canadian market.

There was a small number made for South Africa, but nobody knows exactly how many were made for either destination.

The S1 (30) and KR1000 (?) endurance racer are included in this number.

For 1983 the superbike replica there were supposedly 1000-1200 for the US and Canada and 4300 for Europe and South Africa,

but register your bike because these figures are probably wrong and we can figure out the correct figures.

You can tell an ELR by the frame number. It MUST have an R in it. An '82' it should start with JKAKZCR1xCA000xxx.

For '83' should be JKAKZCR1xDA00xxxx.

The breakdown is Japan, Kawasaki, Akashi facility, KZ model, C=1000cc

(A=1300,
B=1100, D=750), Replica, 1=?, D=1983 C=1982, A=? The final final 6 digits give the number of the bike.

To confuse you, the other markets all start with KZT, 00=1000cc (10=1100cc), R=Replica, then frame number.
