To protect the enviroment in which we al live,Kawasaki has incorporated two emission control systems in compliance with the applicable regulations of United States Enviromental Protection Agency.

emissions is boring........stayed on topic.....blah!...lol

Well, I could sure use 1 or 2 shop manual's !
Anyone care to make life a bit easy for me and let me know
which is the best to get?
1st bike is a 1980 LTD1000
2nd bike is a 1981 CSR1000
It's my understanding there are different one's ?
I know these bikes are different so I may need 1 of each..
Best place to get them would be nice to know
And by all means I'd rather spend a little more for the better!
Thanks, Gene

Gee Whillikers! My KZ1000-A1 manual is missing all the parts about emission controls. Oh, wait [Gong!], 'cause that didn't take much hunt'n and peck'n.

Good Fortune!

Yep!
Ask a question about a 750 four, and someone will give you an answer to a 1000 four.

To answer your questions Gene:

There are two (perhaps three) manuals you need. The best are the OEM shop manuals. Your CSR is from the next generation of Kawasaki motors (the so-called 'J' motors), hence the change in manuals.

For the KZ1000B4, your 1980 LTD, purchase the OEM manual Kawasaki part number 99924-1006-05. This is the base manual. Your LTD also has a supplemental manual specifically covering all those little things peculiar to the LTD...Kawasaki part number 99963-0034-01.

For the KZ1000M1, your CSR1000, purchase the OEM manual Kawasaki part number 99924-1026-01, or -02, or -03. Those last three digits are edition numbers.

As for where to purchase...eBay will have them, usually for a very reasonable price....don't pay a lot for them (some sellers will offer them for $60 or so)...others will be considerably less expensive...watch shipping costs...except for the supplement, the manuals are heavy and some sellers tend to overcharge for shipping.
