Just bought a ZX10 but cant get a manual for it. As a ex Kawasaki mechanic i can sort the rest but i cant remember the valve clearances or what marks to line up on cam wheels to check them. Not worked on one of these for 15 years and memory not that good. Any help would be great.

theres a couple of manuals......dont know the specs off hand....My repair manual is 12 states away from me. Just moved and left it there in storage :-( ......I will have it shipped to me in a couple of more weeks if you dont get the specs by then.

 

Thanks for reply. ill try those sites for manual but i want it running Now. Someone must know the clearances or have a manual to hand

 

what year zx10?

 

I do not have the '89 zx10 info. so am not sure on the specs. The '93 zx11 Standard Valve Clearance is IN. .13-.19mm, EX. .18-.24 for example. I checked in my 89 ZX7 manual and it too was different. Good luck in finding the required information.

 

heres a link to a free manual....i couldnt get it to work for me, but you might try it.

and another.....this one is 6.00......http://www.e-junkie.com/shop/product/59116.php

 

www.carlsalter.com may have it as well..
typically, it seems clearances sit at about .006" for intake and .008" for exhaust.. +/-.002

that is a safe basline if you're in a pinch.

use the T mark on the rotor for timing, as you know, #1 cylinder TDC on comp stroke.

the cam lines should fall in place.. not 10% sure what they are on that one, but typically, they're at 12 o'clock and 9 on the intake and 3 on the exhaust when you're dealing with a side-tunnel system..

good luck, hope maybe that helps a tiny bit, and welcome to KF!

 

Thanks lads, got what i need, all sorted
Cheers teddybear
