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:
Tributes paid to 'legend' Eric Bregazzi
Powerlifting: Isle of Man squad confirmed for 2026 Home Nations
Badminton: Mixed starts for Island sides at county championships
