1985-1988 Kawasaki ZL900 ZL1000 Eliminator Motorcycle Service Manual Supplement

Note: While we do our best to provide accurate up to date photos, book covers and packaging vary with date of manufacture. Please call if you have questions regarding a product.

This 193 page, 1985-1988 Kawasaki ZL900 ZL1000 Eliminator Service Manual Supplement is a reproduction of the original manual, out of print manual. This manual must be used in conjunction with item: 99924-1048-11 (Kawasaki ZX900 Motorcycle Service Manual – sold separately). Together both books provide detailed service information, step-by-step repair instruction and maintenance specifications for Kawasaki ZL900-A1 Eliminator, 1986 Kawasaki ZL900-A2 Eliminator, 1987 Kawasaki ZL1000-A1 and 1988 Kawasaki ZL1000-A2 (UK) motorcycles. Please note that this rare original manual is out of print and is only available as a high quality reproduction. We have a limited supply on hand and can no longer get these once they are gone.

Now before you pull the trigger here you need to understand that you NEED both the base and the supplement manual to work on your motorcycle. Many people try to buy the supplement manual only and then find out it is missing most of the information they need and they get frustrated. The 1985-1988 Kawasaki ZL900 ZL1000 Eliminator Service Manual Supplement is designed to be used in conjunction with the Kawasaki ZX900 Motorcycle Service Manual (P/N 99924-1048-11). The maintenance and repair procedures described in this supplement are only those that are unique to 1985-1988 Kawasaki ZL900 ZL1000 Eliminator motorcycles and the supplement will not have everything you need. Most service operations for these models remain identical to those described in the base Service Manual. Complete and proper servicing of 1985-1988 Kawasaki ZL900 ZL1000 Eliminator motorcycles requires both this supplement and the base Service Manual. The base Service Manual and this Supplement are designed primarily for use by motorcycle mechanics in a properly equipped shop. However, they contain enough detail and basic information to make them useful to the 1985-1988 Kawasaki ZL900 ZL1000 Eliminator owner who wants to perform his/her own basic maintenance and repair work. A basic know ledge of mechanics, the proper use of tools, and work shop procedures must be understood in order to carry out maintenance and repair satisfactorily. Whenever the operator has insufficient experience or doubts his ability to do the work, the adjustments, maintenance, and repair should be carried out only by qualified mechanics. In order to perform the work efficiently and to avoid costly mistakes, the mechanic should read the text, thoroughly familiarize himself with the procedures before starting work, and then do the work carefully in a clean area. Whenever special tools and equipment are specified, makeshift tools or equipment should not be used. Precision measurements can only be made if the proper instruments are used, and the use of substitute tools may adversely affect safe operation of the motorcycle.

This Kawasaki ZL900 ZL1000 Eliminator Service Manual includes the following chapters and/or references to the base manual chapters:

SPECIAL NOTICE REGARDING COPYRIGHT PROTECTED MATERIALS

Motocom, Inc., d/b/a RepairManual offers access to a diverse repair manual library. In-as-much as our roots are grounded in motorcycles and motorcycling, we offer repair manuals relating to cars, trucks, vans, all terrain vehicles, snowmobiles, tractors, and personal watercraft.

Two broad classes of repair manuals are offered by RepairManual on Ebay, namely, reproductions of original repair manuals, and original repair manuals, i.e., titles of others, which we purchase new or used from OEMs and publishers via their authorized distribution channels and pass on to you our customers. In connection to our content, we strive to locate, secure and clear the titles we make available to you directly as reproductions.

As to the former, namely our reproduction titles, we offer copies of public domain content, more particularly, titles published prior to 1989 and without active copyright. For decades, an outstanding feature distinguishing United States copyright law from that of the rest of the world has been an emphasis on formalities, among other things a requirement that the public be given formal notice of every work in which copyright is claimed. This facet of the law has origins in the original Copyright Act of 1790. and has remained in the successive Act revisions of 1831,1870, 1909,1976 (effective 1978). Many of the formalities under the 1909 and 1976 Acts have been lifted with the accession of the United States to the Berne Convention, via passage of the Berne Convention Implementation Act of 1988.

Before 1978, federal copyright was generally secured by the act of publication with notice of copyright, assuming compliance with all other statutory conditions. United States works in the public domain on January 1, 1978 remained in the public domain under the 1976 Copyright Act. As of March 1, 1989, the effective date of the Berne Convention Implementation Act, copyright notice, among other things, was prospectively eliminated as a condition to copyright protection. However, where a copyright notice is required, essentially for all published Pre-Beme content, and its omission is not excused, the legal consequence is to inject the work into the public domain.

In connection to our business, namely the offering of manuals and parts, we by necessity make use of trademarks and/or trade dress of others to describe the items we offer. In doing so, no representation of affiliation, association or the like is intended, unless otherwise stated. Moreover, we are in fact owners of intellectual property, property that is a valuable asset to our business. If you are a copyright owner we ask that you please contact Mr. Lenard Nelson at 1-828-284-0944 (Monday - Friday / 9am - 5pm EST) to answer any questions or remedy any trademark or copyright concerns. Thank you.
