Bringing a '78 KZ200 Back to Life was created by twerth
Hello. I just received this bike in trade for some work and paint on a friend's bike. The KZ had been sitting in his garage since 1992, but had allegedly been in running condition when he parked it. After an afternoon of cleaning sludge and varnish out of the tank and carb, it started on the first try (push start, still needs a battery). Absolutely amazing! This bike has been sitting for nearly 20 years and is still ready to run. I'll post some pictures once I get them downloaded from my camera.

So here is my question/request to the forum. I need to get my hands on a service manual, but I'd rather not spend $30 for the e-bay hard copies. Does anyone have a PDF copy they'd make available for a reasonable price? At a minimum, I need to get the carb adjustment settings so I can get this baby running a little better. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
