Michael Dunlop will compete in Kawasaki colours at this year's TT.
The 22-year-old will ride bikes prepared by Paul Bird Motorsport in the Superbike and Superstock classes.
But the deal allows Dunlop to keep his own sponsors and he will once again ride a Yamaha machine in the Supersport races.
Paul Bird, who runs the official Kawasaki World Superbike team, believes the package will benefit all involved:
Boxing: Island success in Sheffield
One win and two finals for Manx trio
Boxing: Coach hails 'fantastic' season for Manx ABC
Demand means some classes now near capacity, says Peter Roberts
Rugby: Douglas lose third on the bounce
Port-E-Chee side slip to fourth in table
Losing MGP Supporters Club would leave 'huge gap'
