Hello to all
I shall be annoying everyone with my constant questions shortly having just bought a place with somewhere to keep my bike - 86 green gold n cream eliminator.
Bought it four years ago and never ridden it due to ;

1 lack of licence
2 lack of secure storage

but never due to a lack of interest!!

Am i the only one to have a green gold n cream Eli?!?

will post some pics soon

first question where on earth do i get a decent manual - Kawasaki Motors? downloaded one from the web......... but, well to say it's ****e does it too much justice

[Rick_in_WA]

Thats an 86?..... what size is it?....... I kinda like the paint however

[Mikweg]

600 I believe it to be an 86....................but then I take it you mean built in 86? - imported vehicle declared built in 86 hope I aint making a twat of myself here as to be honest I know bugger all - but learning!

Welcome aboard Mike! Don't worry about the question's, we love 'em, well I do. Nice color combo, can't say I've seen that on an Eli before though.

Moab, were you going somewhere with the stupid question reference?????

Yeah thanks, however I already had the smaller download of the two -(owners manual) but have just spent the last 4 hours downloading the other one at a piss poor speed only to find it is the manual but it keeps refering to the "base manual" :mumum: -is there a manual for 4cyl kawasaki's in general? :help:

Can you still buy the manuals? - so many questions I'll try again tomorrow

[Southernstyle]

OOPS! I guess no one told you. Sorry 'bout that. There are three manuals for an Eli. They are; the owners manual which comes with the bike, the ZL suplement, and the base manual, which is the GPZ manual. I'm not sure if the 6 is the same as the 900, but I'll check for ya. I don't believe it is though. I'll see what I can kick up online for you. Sorry about that. I had a devil of a time figuring it out myself.

[Mikweg]

what a result I just swapped a honda C50 manual (Moped) and a Kawasaki KH100 manual (kids bike) for the GPZ 600R base manual all for the price of a postage stamp! well a couple of stamps at least
:cool10:

[Southernstyle]

Cool deal! Glad that worked out for ya, as the only thing free I could find was in German.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask, as that's how we all learn.
