has anyone got a copy of a manual for them? not sure exactly what ones mine are, but they have the TPS on them.

bought a set (from someone on here i think actually) but one of the butterflies is jammed. i took them all apart, and the other 3 are fine. can't work out why its jammed, it turns with a bit of help from some big pliers, but can't be done by hand. not sure if the shaft is bent or what, but could do with taking it apart really

or does anyone have a single carb? its one of the end ones, not the one with the TPS on the side

or do the spindle/butterfly shaft thingys from a zzr1100 carb fit?
i've got a knackered set of zzr1100 carbs laying about

Iv got a haynes for the zx9r. I can scan the pages later if no one else comes up with anything.

I'd be interested in a manual too as we've just picked a set up

You can get US spec parts diagrams at www.kawasaki.com. I got the diagrams for ZX6R carbs here.

Sounds like a bent spindle, someone else had the same problem recently. I've just ben searching and all I came up with is you posting this problem back in April! What happened? Did you give up and move onto something else

lol yeah, the engine wasn't running then, so i tried to make it work, gave up on them for a bit, but now i've had the engine running (briefly, and really poorly) i want the m sorted so i can get it done properly

Here select owner info-parts diagrams-select the motorcycle-it sounds like you have the same carbs as me so choose 1998 and select ninja zx9r- select the standard (non california)-choose carburettor parts and you should get exploded diagrams and part numbers

excellent thanks

have you got a pics of the carbs?

mine are ZX9R 'F' ones I think (or maybe 'E2' I never really worked out properly)

and jacko has loads of pic's in his archive ('E' model I think)

thats about the best photo i've got. they look the same as yours. Jacko's ones have the solenoid thingys on them, which mine don't.

well they are Keihin CVR's, basically the same as mine and jacko - but different from the CVK's on the earlier bikes
(I think his solenoid things are just part of one of the reduced emissions specs)

CVR's seem to be on E1 and E2 bikes only (2000 & 2001), not sure if there is any difference in the carbs between these models.... - at least thats from what I can work out using there website in the US (mistergrumpy's link)

I actually found the local(ish) Kawasaki dealer quite helpful when I needed a couple of bits for the airbox (C&J Wilson in Uphall)

i'll give it another shot at taking apart today.

last time i tried filling it with all sorts of oil and wd-40 in case it was just stuck, but it didn't help. will have another shot today

well, i've got the brass butterfly plate out, which is a little bent
can't work out how the shaft comes out though. does it just slide?
how much are replacement ones likely to be?
