Looking for help locating a shop manual for a 1990 KDX 200. The manual I received from Kawasaki was a service manual, and I do not see a shop manual listed. Clymer apparently does not make one so I am at a loss.
Better yet I am looking for help with a problem. My bike has never been taken apart so everything is original with exception to an FMF pipe, rejetted and boysen reeds. It has sat for the past 8 years with maybe 20 miles per year(1800 in total). It always gets a carb clean and gas stabil. Over the last 2 years it became harder to start after sitting for periods of time (4-5 kicks to 10+) but once warm starts on 1 or 2 kicks. Last year I replaced the reeds and rejetted (was getting lots of oil in the silencer) and it was still hard starting when cold, but didn't have as much oil in the silencer. This year is pretty much the same, but now it seems to be smoking more. I fear a greater problem than carbonation since I burn Klotz 40:1 and the sweet smell it usually has does not match the amount of smoke. It did not get any better after it was warm either. A local shop told me it was probably the crank seal, but don't know how to diagnose for sure or where to get a manual to help with the repair.
