I don't have an Owners Manual, but do have a Kawasaki Service Manual. You'll find them on Ebay once in a while. Don't bother looking for a Clymers manual, I've never seen one and the Clymers I do have for the KZ750's does not even mention the existence of a shaft drive model. I think the Clymer I do have will be useful in some ways.
Parts may switch easily between the LTD and Spectre, but don't expect to find many parts from a chain model to swap over. Side covers for instance, are different between the chain and shaft models.
Good luck and have fun!

Anyone know how many KZ750Fs were manufactured? There don't appear to be that common. How do there numbers compare with the belt model?

The 750 LTD Belt model was made on the twin cylinder bike, and the shaft drives were four cylinders.
If you can't find an Owners Manual for the F model, then look for the 750 Spectre model; basically the same machine with air suspension and bling.

Ebay has a Haynes manual, and it says it covers the 750 shaft.

Do you still have your 83 KS750F1 project? How many miles are on it? Would you consider selling it as I need a parts bike? If so, for how much? How many miles are on it?

I don't want to sell it at this time, sorry. It's still a work in progress, as they say.
What kind of parts are you looking for?

Some other users have itold me that other 4-cylinder heads will work but sometimes the tach gets input in a different manner or the part has a different finish (such as for Ninjas).
