Svc manual question and crank bearing question...

[Paul Heim]

You can search Ebay (that's where I got mine) or go to the Kawasaki website. 
They still sell a GPz service manual:

This link is to a 1995 manual from Kawasaki.  Browse around the site if you 
need a 1996 manual.

Subject: Svc manual question and crank bearing question...

I'm having a heck of a time finding a service manual for our bikes. Does 
anyone have a good link or p/n so I can purchase one? (I need torque specs 
for putting my engine back together...:) )

I was finally able to tear down the engine and found that my #3 rod bearing 
spun... hopefully I can save the crank and rod.... I'm sending it out to the 
machine shop tomorrow or tuesday... wish me luck.

 I was looking at new bearings to order and they are all color coded i.e. 
blue, black, white or brown. Am I correct in assuming that the colors are 
for different sizes? if so, Which are which? I'm sure that I'll need an 
undersize bearing set for this #3 crank journal if available...  any 
thoughts? anyone been down this road before and have any tips or tricks?

Thanks again,

Ben
