New to KZ

Hey guys, I just picked up a 81 KZ1000 LTD and decided to join the group. Can anyone recommend a good technical shop manual? I'm going to need some help with it as it has a few problems. I'll be posting it in the tech section.
I'm glad you guys are here. Thanks, Mike

Welcome Mike to KZR Nation, E-Bay has Kawi manuals listed most of the time, or the Kaw sights on web have pdf files for download,just can't remember the ones (other member chime in time) or google what you need. again Welcome. the invasion continues. Duke

Welcome and enjoy that KZ!

Welcome Mike (very odd name, BTW). Accept no substitutes...buy only the genuine Kawasaki shop manual (skip the Clymers and Haynes). The manual you need regularly and inexpensively shows up on eBay (Kawasaki part number 99924-1026-XX [the last two digits are the edition number]) and I suspect the manual is a free download (very large file) on www.wgcarbs.com :)

Thanks for the info. I searched around that site, couldn't find any shop manual info. I suspect it may be in the forum, have to sign up to view it.

You do have to join, but it's free And a good relationship with George Lesho (Wired George), the site owner, is a good thing as he is a wealth of info on carbs, amongst other motorcycle related things.

I joined the site and once approved I was able to get the manual download. Thanks, Mike
