Hey all,
Just got myself a used '06 ZX-10 with a lot of goodies but I'm trying to look for the owner's manual and a service manual if possible. Does anyone happen to have any of these in .pdf format or similar? It would be a great tool for working on the bike, considering that I've never owned a Kawasaki before and I'm completely infatuated with my new toy. I've always been a Yamaha streetbike rider and a Honda dirt bike enthusiast.
Thank you for your help and for the warm welcome into the "GREEN" community.
Later,
W.

)

Check touring and sport touring. Right now the Concours posts are dominated by the C14 but a Concours is a Concours. Your 87 will fit in just fine. It's a classic sport tourer and you'll find people who're glad to help you.

I am changing the oil for the 1st time since I bought the bike. 1986 zx1000. how many quarts if I changed the filter as well?

zedx11 · 06-11-2008

probably close to 4QT keep an eye on the window when filling so you don't overfill.

hotrodhenson · 06-11-2008

thanks. It seems like it only took 3 qts. and the line was halfway of the sight glass. I started the bike and ran it for a minute. I made sure the bike was level also. does this seem weird. I did change the filter as well.

zedx11 · 06-11-2008

I think jasman has that bike, shoot him a PM. he can tell you more about it.

Inquisitive · 06-11-2008

BRIAN04ZX10, a little hard to tell from the picture for me, however it looks like some sort of fuse holder / fuse block of some sort. Where did you get it?

Hagar · 06-12-2008

there are 2 drain plugs one in front and one towards the back, If you only drain fromt the first one you will still leave about a quart in the engine....Cheers.

ZPI28 · 06-14-2008

Where does my ZL1000 fit in?

zedx11 · 06-14-2008

Hi all...I have been reading and studying all the comments on this awesome board and would like to thank you all for your precious tips; After having had several bikes including a new Kawi Z1000 (this year) and prior Kawi 650R, I delved into getting me an '08 ZX10R. What can I say that has not been said here already except that I emphatically agree that it is a machine that deserves and demands the utmost respect. Having said that, I should like to ask anyone who may have a suggestion for this slight problem:

Whereas I have no problem riding my 10R without my helmet, I do seem to have two immediate concerns while wearing my helmets (Arai or Shoei); Firstly, my upper view is obstructed; then, the helmets push my neck down causing some fatigue in my neck. Of course, I cannot imagine riding without a full face helmet. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
Best,
Mike

there are different size openings in helmets, maybe the helmets you have don't have the "race" opening.
