As previously posted:  Call your local dealer or Ron Ayers.   The part number is 99924-1431-03  There is no legal digital version.

Is this what you guys are looking for? It's an online .pdf version of the owner's manual.

http://www.kawasaki-techinfo.net/showOM.php?view_lang=EN&spec=US&book_no=99987-1608&lang_code=EN

I'm thinking this might be different than the service manual that you guys are looking for but I was hoping the owners manual might help also.

That's the owner's manual put out by Kawasaki on their website, Ryan.  They're talking about the service manual in this thread which hasn't been put out or sanctioned by Kawasaki for public use.

Ohhh, okay. I sort of had that feeling but I figured I'd share just in case I was wrong. I'll do a bit of digging and see if I can find anything on this service manual you guys are talking about.

If you find a link to an unauthorized copy of the service manual (there are some), please don't post it here.  As far as I know, Kwak does not have a digital version available for us.

Alrighty. I won't post it if it's unauthorized. I'll email my contact down at Kawasaki Corporate though and see if I can find anything out about this elusive service manual.

Ryan, the service manual is availible to anyone who wants to go to a dealer and buy one. What's elusive is the unauthorized digital version that mama kaw does not make availible.

Ahhhhh, gotcha. I think it's kinda lame that they charge for something like that. It should be readily available for anyone who wants it. After all, you already spent $15k+ on the bike itself.

Yep, most of us agree that it seems odd.  But it is their choice.  It is certainly not unusual, though.  I had to buy the factory manuals for my cars, too.... the main difference was that they provided standard PDF files, which was nice (and even on my Infiniti, it was about a third the price of the Concours manual).  Kawasaki has no such option, probably because people are quick to illegally "share" them.

Still looking for the e-version.  How about a PM?  would it be ok for someone to PM me a few leads on how to track it down... of course I would never seek to do something against the law... it's purely to know what not to download

LMAO

watch out for the internet police, angelic types, and those who don't run stop signs and never crank a bike without gloves. Wish i could help you with an e-copy for that year

It's basically stealing from the manufacturer, Steve.  We don't condone posting links to unauthorized digital copies on the forum.  What one does off the forum is none of our business.

So there is no pdf version for the 2010 c14 that is legal? Who needs paper these days, I have a computer in my garage for accessing tutorials and pdf versions so I can work on the bike/car with the service manual at my side.

That sucks!

PS- I just paid 500 bucks for 2 replacement pieces of my fairing which are obviously not worth that, so a fair question is "who's stealing from who?" They are called stealers for a reason.

OEM parts are rarely cheap, unfortunately.
