I want to buy a service manual for my '04 KDX200... Any recommendations? Is the Kawasaki shop manual the way to go here, or is there a Clymer-type manual that's better?

I'm looking for something that will give me good guidance on basic maintenance stuff like fork springs as well as top-end teardown info.

I'll put my vote in for the Kawi shop manual. I haven't even looked any aftermarket manuals because the OEM manual is pretty well done and is only about $25.

Best,
Greg

I have not been able to find an aftermarket manual the late model KDXs, I have the factory manual and the 220 supplement, they are OK but do not go into as much detail as I would like.

The Kaw manual is all there is. Don't expect too much when you get it. It basically sucks IMO.
