In 1976, the 500 model KH A8 succeeds the 500 H1. The evolution of this model is driven by anti-pollution standards in place in the United States and the oil crisis. This context is not conducive to performance and the machine loses his soul with this development.

After culminée to 60 hp with the 500 H1, formally returning to 59 hp model with the H1B, it falls to 52 hp with this new model. After 8 years of existence, Kawasaki finally normalizes the floor of the gearbox to a 1 ° down (instead of neutral).

1976 also marks the end of the career of this machine.
