No, brute finesse!

Oh, finesse...mmm. I'll hold out my pinky finger when I finesse it back, will that work?


I tried a 2x4 in the hoop, but of course the bike wants to dump over. Need a sumo size fella to finesse his arse onto the seat somehow.

Do you still have the 1983 Kawasaki KZ750F shaft model? I just picked one up that is a fixer upper. I was wondering what you did with yours?

I still have it. I hope to put more time into it this winter, as money allows.

How common are these KS750 Shaft LTDs? I understand they were only manufactured in 1983. How many were produced? What repair manual do you find best covers this particular model?

the shaft,spectre,z750,and the zn750 are all covered in one kawi manual, 83-85. I have a copy so i know this is true.

Don't know how many, but they were made for a couple years.

The Kawasaki Service Manual; I sent you an ebay link to a manual in another of your threads. I don't think Haynes or Clymer made manuals for the shaft drive 750's. The Kaw manual has been the only one I've seen. The shaft drive is really the only different part of the bike that you won't find covered in the chain drive manuals; otherwise you probably can use a chain drive manual to handle 99% of the repairs on your bike.
