Seems like a reputed outfit like Kawasaki Heavy Industries would have issued at-least one service bulletin addressing such a major specification misprint that is found in hundreds (possibly thousands) of Kawasaki Factory Service Manuals. :whistle:

Was there ever a Kawasaki service bulletin that covers this subject? If so, would somebody please post a copy.

I know this is in reference to a KZ1000, 1100. My factory FSM for my Z1 900 (first addition) shows the cam cap bolt torque at 105 in lbs and torqued in the illustrated sequence.

I can't imagine there would be much difference between the two motors for this subject.
