I had an LTD 440 in black and  similar trim to the larger model you have when I was a teenager. Bought it new off the showroom floor after working all summer to save the money to buy it, and had a friend ride it home, since I hadn't learned to ride yet.

Beard?
Hell, that was just my freakin mustache... Paul Teuttle can't top that one... I grew that for the COG Generals Ride where I unveiled COGZilla.... it was 7 inches long, and momma hated it.
I have beard pics, but I won't post them.... it would scare folk.


Somewheres there are pics of MOBClause, taken at The BRRRR Ride.... heheheheheh

This is the short beard

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.

Has anyone ever used "green-manuals"? They offer downloads off all sorts of service manuals. Motorcycles, ATVs, watercraft, snowmobiles, etc. of various makes and models, including Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Polaris, KTM, etc. Upon browsing their web site, I see no mention one way or another regarding copyrights, other than the fact that their own logo is embedded in their download pics to discourage piracy. I am not endorsing them, nor have I patronized them, and I am intentionally omitting their web address from this post. But if anyone can attest to their bona-fides, one way or another, it would be a service to all.

Since they're only $9.50, I'd say they are either pirated or not OEM factory service manuals. The site claims 99% of the manuals are "OEM factory shop repair and maintenance manuals". Not sure what that means.

Funny, it says if you are technically challenged, they can send a CD instead of doing a download. What would a person be doing working on they're own bike if they are technically challenged?

You are correct.

And if it is a Kawasaki manual and they are not a Kawasaki dealer, it is automatically pirated (illegal) material.

I don't think I understand...are you saying that ONLY Kawasaki dealers are allowed to sell Kawasaki products?   Even if the non-dealer vendor is licensed by Kawasaki?
I have no idea whether these green manual guys are licensed or not, but I'd have to think that it's at least a possibility, no? Or maybe I am not understanding what you are saying.

Maybe they have dial-up internet...or maybe thier internet access is otherwise limited or metered. Maybe they only have an ipad...or only a smartphone. Might be worth the $3 bucks extra just to get a CD. I'm not a prospect, but if I was, I might opt for the CD and save myself some trouble.

Pretty much, that is correct.  Kawasaki doesn't use retailers of any type, just their dealer network.

Now I am sure that I don't understand...I admit that I might be a bit slow after that blow to the head a couple of years ago...(75 mph high side).

But anyhow, I have bought OEM parts for years from folks like Bike Bandit, J&P Cycles, Motorcycle Superstore. Never bought a service manual, though. Don't know if they sell them. But they sell lots of other OEM parts. Even have the parts diagrams, part numbers, etc, etc right there on the web site.

Sorry to be obtuse.
