Some of these may not work. (These different links actually link to the same file.)
EDIT: this manual was a poor scan. I deleted it. (There is still a copy of it in the link Martin provided.)

EDIT: Poor scan deleted. Will post new file once I can confirm the cover color.
If someone can confirm they work, that'd be great. (Since I have the account, I can download them. I want to be sure they are public.)

There's a complete manual, plus 15-20 pdfs of sections of the manual but those may be incomplete. not sure.
750Turbo.com. 1980-85 KZ750-4 ZX750 pdf manual. good scans. good images.
750turbo.com --- Index . search tags KZ750 ZX750 Turbo
1980-84 KZ700/750-4 chain drive. 1983-85 88 ZX750. pdf manual & wiring diagrams. same manual as in topic post.
poorly scanned --- some info at the bottom of some pages is missing & images are poor.
mbsween. bike-night. KZ750L3 page . Scroll down & click "The Bible Link". mbsween KZ750L3
note: some of the wiring diagrams are mislabeled in the links: the 1981 Ltd is an H2, the 82 is an H3, & the 83 is an H4.

Thanks Martin! I've got a paper 750 manual but use the PDF as well, and that poorly scanned version is frustrating!

It is the 99924-1021-06 base manual. I'm temporarily calling it orange for now.
EDIT: now gold.

It's tough. In my experience with drawing color diagrams etc., the one color family that seems really difficult to represent on the computer is the orange/amber/gold range. They can easily end up tan etc. I don't trust the computer for that color. I need eyes on the actual book.
I guess I should narrow down the options. How about yellow, orange, tan, gold. If anyone has it, which would you call it?
If it was up to me, I would like to keep it a primary or secondary color, so that would be orange or yellow.

I have 99924-1024-04...which has the same cover as your edition. I'd call the color 'gold'...unless you want to be esoteric and call it 'mustard' (it is real close in color to the yellow mustard container in my refridgerator)

...gold it is.
(Incidentally, I can't get any google results for 99924-1024-04, but I assume you meant 99924-1021-04.)
Also, I have learned from playing musical manuals with the 550's, it's pretty important to have the exact Kawasaki part number as found on the back cover. It can explain conflicts on details. As Mcdroid's post points out, there are multiple base manuals that look identical. But manuals always have errors, and hopefully the later version would have corrections.
Anyone planning on doing a scan; it really helps to have the front and rear cover in color, clearly showing the part number.
