I have a 1981 KZ1100 and I have found some info on the rear shocks telling me to fill them to a minimum of 25psi and a max of 70psi. I cant find any info on how much air to put in the forks. Anyone have any idea how I should treat the shocks and forks to get the most out of them?

get a hand pump for the forks as if your not carefully using compressed air on the forks you can blow the seal's out very quickly i normally use about 10 psi in my air forks

I have an 82 GPZ1100 B2. My shop manual lists air pressure for several models:

KZ1000-J (U.S. & Canadian models) 3.6 to 5.0 PSI
Z1000-J (other than U.S.& Canadian models) 6.4 to 7.8 psi
KZ/Z1000-K, KZ1000-M, all models 5.7 to 8.5 psi

I'd imagine your bike would have the 3.6 to 5.0 PSI pressures.
