It covers 1977, 1978 and 1979 A (standard) models and 1978 and 1979 D (cafe racer) models.
Could also do an ebay search for KZ1000 manual.
There are official "Supplement" manuals for LTD models.
Good Luck!

The Clymer manual is more readable, however, it may have errors or confused info:
From the Kz650 Clymer manual:
Chapter 3 Steering play: If the steering adjustment is too tight, readjust it as described under Steering Stem Adjustment in Chapter 8.
:blink:Chapter 8 - Steering Head: Adjust the steering as described under Steering Play in Chapter 3.

Same time, grab every freaking manual you can.... I have three different versions for my KZ900 and one KZ1000/1100 manual as well... YES, the OEM manual is used 99.9% of the time but I do reference to others for maybe a different image, a foot note change, something I may have missed or miss understood in the OEM manual..
Also, I have found miss prints in OEM manuals as well. Think it out, reference to other manuals, ask questions and you'll be successful....
