Title: Where to find a 2010 C14 service manual?
Post by: GIXXERKELLY on April 01, 2012, 08:04:57 AM

I'm having trouble finding one at all. I can find the 2008-2009 but, not the 2010. It would be a plus if someone knows where I can get a free download of one too :)

Thanks

I bought mine, although a bit expensive, but well worth the money.

There is no online sanctioned version from Kawasaki that I am aware of.  You should be able to order it through the dealer or pick one up used somewhere.  As a reminder please don't post links to un-sanctioned versions of manuals.

Also, be wary of some on Ebay, they are copies of the original and look exactly like te real thing, but the pages have copies of the holes from the priginal. I got suckered on one for my GW, I hate to pay someone who steals another's intellectual property. The dealer will often discount one if you bought your bike from them. Always pays to ask.

My 2 cents, not intended to offend anyone.
I also got ripped off on eBay.
But I found a great one on eBay. It a cd and a free download, so I have it on every computer, iPad and phone.
I believe it was a legal purchase. I will gladly send anyone the info if you pm me.

Sadly, that is a false belief.

It is a copyrighted document that you can purchase from your dealership.  Unfortunately, paper only.  There are illegal versions on Ebay and other places.

There is no way to legally own/have a PDF/electronic version of the service manual, unless you are a dealership.  Of course, the PDF version is much more convenient, so once I bought the legal paper version from the dealership, I might have obtained the electronic one to go with it.
