Looking for BETTER manual for zxr250a
Looking for BETTER manual for zxr250a
Hi All,
I posted a related reply to a topic in general discussion but thought it probably belongs here ...
I am looking for a workshop/service manual for a zxr250a 1989 model that is better than the really crappy crooked scanned one with the http://www.japi.com.ar watermark and the illegible diagrams that look like they were photocopied on a 1960 vintage xerox machine ... it pretty much sucks especially since I have a zxr250a and the wiring diags etc. are wrong
Of course it is better than nothing but I am desperately trying to get a better one, and would pay up to $100 for a real one if I could find it! ... anyone one got anything better than the one descrbed above?
Thanks in advance!

best place to find a hard-copy of one is on e-bay, either the Oz version or the US version.......I have recently picked up a whole swag of manuals (Clymer, Haynes, Cycleserve for the Yammies, Honda's and Suzies), and a stack of dinkum factory manuals for a lot of Kawasaki's ( all pre-'85).
Its a great place to hunt stuff like this down. Good luck.

mate, that link is only for parts books, a bit like exploded views of microfiche - these are *great* if you need a part number......but not much chop if you want to replace fork oil......
For an actual 'manual' like a Haynes ( or if you can find one, a proper 'factory' manual), then check out e-bay, under 'Motorcycle Manuals' - just type this in the search function, and it will do the rest for you.

I haven't seen the contents of *that* exact cd, but you can always ask the seller a question about the item without bidding.
Its probably worth your while, not all *cd* manuals are created the same........this is why i prefer a hard-copy Factory manual in the first instance, or Clymer / Haynes / Cycleserve if you can't get factory.
