Anyone know what the manual says is proper fuel float level setting for the 1986 200cc? (Mikuni)

Thank you very much for looking that up! That is very strange though. It has a tang for the needle valve. Hmm, oh well. If that's what the manual says then so be it

This is what my '86-'88 Kawasaki manual says.

Adjust the float level by bending the tang in contact with the needle and seat as you said.
