My used 1999 Connie came to me in almost picture perfect condition and with the Owners Manual for the ZG1000-A14. I also received a Service Manual in somewhat used condition that covered the years 1986-1997(up to the A12 model). Got concerned that some mechanical differences may have existed between the 1997 version and my 1999 Connie, even after reading the history of the Connie located somewhere on the COG website. So I ordered the Service Manual from the Kawasaki website that was listed for my make and year of bike. It arrived today and lo and behold, there was no manual published in my year of production. The next model year is 2000 and series A15. Yet, contrary to the article's suggestion that the oil drain in the forks was eliminated in 1994, the Year 2000 drawing and subsequent re-drawing of the front fork unit still shows the now non-existent drain plug. If the material doesn't report these changes, should I keep the 1986-2006 version of the Service Manual, or sell it and rely on the used '86-'97 version? COG #8892 CDA #0309 So glad this Vol can tour!
