I'll probably not be able to find an original Kawasaki Z900 workshop manual, so what's the best next thing - Clymer, Haynes, other?

Or does anyone have an original Kawasaki workshop manual for sale?

I got a modern copy of a Z1B workshop manual from American eBay. You probably can get similar for Z900. The postage was a bit expensive but worth it. It's spiral bound and has all the info I need, I have a s/h Haynes I got off of eBay for a couple of quid. Between the two they cover most things.

If you do buy books/ manuals from the USA get the seller to state that it is litreture as there is no duty to pay on books etc.

The copy I got from the States was basically this item, it wasn't anything like £120 though!

Thanks all,

I've downloaded the Z1 manual on Paul's link to print off (at work!) and also ordered a Clymer manual.
