Manual for a KZ1100A1 Shaft

#1 PostAuthor: guzziman56 » Sun Mar 08, 2015 7:06 am

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'?

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 :wink: ), mainland Europe seamed to like them, especially the German market.
I have a 'clymer' manual for mine. It doesn't cover everything :shock: . 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 :??
Cheerz freddy :D

A 'poll' , is that a colloquialism for a eastern European :?: :lol:

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 :roll:

Like--- "Whats your favourite colour?" or "Who's your best friend?", etc :lol:
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

none of the 1100's (just by design) are 'runts' :lol:
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' :wink:
however, as I've already said the shafties aren't desirable :shock:

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. :D
Thanks again. Roger
