Hi guys.

Just joined KZR. I'm changing fork seals and cant find capacity or weight specs for my bike.

I searched the forums and found specs for a 650 which I think is the same, but not sure.

anyone got it? while we're at it, any links to bike specs or online manuals?

thanks much, love this site!

Nelson:

Use SAE 15W and put 180-188cc in each fork. The manual is not on line at this time but they are readily available on eBay...buy the KHI (Kawasaki Heavy Industries) manual over the Clymer or Haynes.:)

Scott,
This thread was last posted to in 2006 and Nelson hasn't been on KZR since January of 2017, so you are not likely to get a reply from him.
The information you need should be in the factory service manual. Have you checked the Articles section of KZR to see if there is one to download?
