KDXRIDER.NET

So I ordered an OEM owners manual for my 2003 KDX220 from Motosports.com and what they shipped me says KDX200 on the cover. It is Kawasaki part number 99924-1181-10. I know that the two models are for the most part interchangeable, but did they send me the wrong one or when I unwrap this thing (which I don't want to do until I confirm it is the right one), will there be specs for the 220 in it as well?
Thanks!

No, you got the right manual. There is a supplement for the 220 that is available. I found mine online, although I can't now tell you where.


Check page 4-12 describing assembly of the sub-valves. There is a now well known error in my copy. Don't know if newer copies were corrected. In the bottom right illustration, both the valve and the rod should be labeled RIGHT. Also, the text should say "The RIGHT sub-valve has a groove [A] and the right exhaust valve rod has an O-ring for identification."

Sorry, I see you say "Owners Manual", and yes they are the same. I was thinking you meant Service Manual.

Sorry, my mistake! I did indeed mean to say "service manual". Thanks huge for the info on the manual correction. I need to pop my top end off this weekend to see if I have the infamous hand grenade that looks like a piston, or some safer alternative that the previous owner installed.

I did order the supplement as well but that looks like it is back ordered for a few weeks. Hopefully there is nothing in there that I'll desperately need while I have a top end in one hand and some unknown mystery part in the other.....

Thanks again big-time for the info!

Hi. That is the BASE SERVICE manual, not the owner's manual.

Here is a link to where Kawasaki allows free viewing of the owner's manual:

For the service manual for your KDX220R, you bought the correct "base" manual for the KDX200, as well as the supplement manual for the KDX220R. The supplement manual shows the information that applies specifically to the different parts on the KDX220R, such as piston diameter measurement, bore size measurement, etc.

As Kawasaki roughly states, proper servicing requires both the base manual and the supplement manual.

If you need something quick, I can dig out my supplement and let you know something.

You have done very well in your purchases.

There are 10 versions of the manual. I think the error is just in version 1 or 1 and 2.

The newer versions came out as the year models increased. A couple of things changed, but not much, such as the rear axle nut torque going from 72 to 80 foot-pounds.
