I would highly recommend checking with a Kawasaki dealer and getting a manual for it. They should still be abale to provide one (or check on the internet). It will help you greatly.

Yea - Buy a manual. On a car I can change oil, clean an air filter and change spark plugs, but that's about it. With my Suzuki shop manual I've removed the engine, rebuilt the top end, replaced the countershaft seal, replaced rear wheel bearings, etc . . .

Oh yeah - I had a lot of help from the guys here, from dad and from searches on other websites. Don't be afraid to ask for help - here or from a friend.

Tip: Before you ask for help here, try a search of the forums first. Just about every question imaginable has already been asked (although the search engine isn't perfect sometimes) . . .
