Kawasaki GTR1000 (1993) manual needed

[Rijko]

I was offered a great looking Kawasaki GTR1000.
Only 47000 KM on the clock.
Could not resist - it was free.

I have worked on this bike before and it's a solid bike.
Came with the usual issues : bad petcock, leaky carbs and weeping fork seals.

Does anyone know where to get a manual ?
I joined the COG forum but it will not let me post anything ...

A 1993 model by this time should have had the bad oil feed to the cams fixed under recall, or maybe by 93 it was sorted at the factory.
Apart from that, they were fairly bullet-proof, capable of doing starship mileages.

euro spec may differ in some respects but fo a google search for zg1000 its name in US and Canada and possibly other places.
o yes high miles a friend has close to 120k miles on his

Here they were called Zephyr's. I'm not sure I've ever seen one.

If you are referring to the ZG1000, it is a big, heavy, fully dressed bike.

The Zephyr is a completely different animal.

As Rijko says, the Zephyr was something else: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_Zephyr

I just looked up the Zephyr's. The Kawasaki #'s for the Zephyr's are ZR550, ZR750, & ZR1100. Made from "91" through "95". I always thought, from pictures & what I'd read, they should be a pretty nice all purpose bike. Those days seemed the all purpose bikes were just kind'f fading away. Like I said, I never remember seeing one, in real life, in any of the 3 sizes.

Yeah, kind of the last hurrah for the UJM. I've seen just a couple, and agree, nice all-around bike.
