owner's manual question.

I have a 1979 KZ 650 SR and I need an Owner's Manual BADLY! I saw some on amazon.com, BUT they are from years 76'-78' Does that one year make that big of a difference? I can't seem to find my exact year anywhere! I just want to work on my bike for maintenance and I need certain specs in order to move along. Plz help. If you have a 1979 650 owner's manual I WILL PAY YOU FOR YOU TO COPY AND SEND IT TO ME!

I don't know if there is any difference between the years, but to get you started, there is a downloadable service manual here: jarlef.no/Kawasaki/Series/Z/650/z650files.htm
There are a lot of guys on here who love their 650s, so I'm sure someone can help you out. Happy wrenching.

OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH. + 1000

Have you seen this:

So the owner's manual is different from the factory service manual, right?

When I got my KZ900, it came with a book (I'll edit this post later this evening when I can confirm) that I think is the owner's manual, as well as a smaller book that fits in the tailpiece tray. I've purchased a Cylmer's manual, which as we are all aware, isn't always the most authoritative source.

So the manual I have is the "Shop Manual" is that different from the Factory Service manual?

FSM is Factory Shop Manual or Factory Service Manual.

I use the following FSMs quite frequently:



Good Fortune!

Sweet, thanks Patton that's the one I have. DEFINITELY more useful the Clymer's.
