I'm looking for a genuine Kawasaki workshop manual for a KZ1100A1 Shaft. I'm not sure if these bikes were ever sold in the UK. All help gratefully received.
I'm a bit thick - What's a 'Poll' as in 'Add a Poll'?

Manual for a KZ1100A1 Shaft
1981 KZ1100 Shaft+Steib TR500 sidecar (ongoing), 1942 Motoguzzi 600U, 1948 Moto Guzzi GTV, 1952 Moto Guzzi Ercole (in bits), 1953 Nimbus, 1986 Moto Guzzi V65 Lario (in need of TLC), 1988 Moto Guzzi Mk V Le Mans
The kz1100a1, is that the 'spectre' (american variants), if not, and your frame number starts kzt10a-****** was sold in this country as the z1100st (A1,A2 and A3 models).
So the uk did have them and a workshop manual should exist.
They were undesirable in the uk (and still are
), mainland Europe seamed to like them, especially the German market.
I have a 'clymer' manual for mine. It doesn't cover everything
. There are some, usually small differences between the A1-A3 models and country variations. Some variations (such as on the spectres) can be more noticeable.
ALL of the information may be wrong. I'm still learning and I think this info is correct

A "POLL" is probably connected to TLC
It's a Voting system... you can put a daft question up for people to vote which is their favourite
Like--- "Whats your favourite colour?" or "Who's your best friend?", etc

none of the 1100's (just by design) are 'runts'

definition of runt:-
A small pig or other animal, especially the smallest in a litter.
I think you could say that the 1100's were the 'alpha males'

however, as I've already said the shafties aren't desirable

KZ1100 Shaft Workshop Manual
Thanks to all for your info. and comments. Guess what, I thought I'd look at the ebay links that Z1Bman left only to find exacty what I wanted for sale from rpbikes in Clevedon. I'd given up hope of finding a genuine manual in the UK. £25 later it's my new bedtime reading.
Thanks again. Roger
