Hi
I'm new on this forum and life's in Sweden , I recently got a Kawasaki Z400 B2 1979 . I wounder if any one have a service manual on pdf?
And i also wounder if the correct name on this model is Z400 or is it Kz400?  And if someone know a good place to order parts

I might be wrong but i think the old website that was dedicated to the kz 400 got shut down. Hopefully someone will correct me if i'm wrong but it was the best place for all things related to the kz400. The kz400 is the american model and z400 is everywhere else / European model if i remember correctly. I don't think their is any difference at all and it is just a code for where it was sold. I use bikebandit / Z1Enterprise / Partzilla for my parts on my 1980 440 . This link should take you to your models manual. gpzweb.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.co...ase99924_1018_03.pdf

Sorry, but that pdf is for the inline-four Kz400 which is based on the 500 and 550 inline fours.  

The Kz400 twin is a very different machine, obviously.

The Kz400 twins can be broken down into the earlier motor and later motor.  They can be differentiated by the way the head looks.  The early type had eccentric valve adjusters under a cover on the sides of the head.  The later type had four caps on the front and back of the motor that uncovered set-screw type valve adjusters.

The bike in the photo of the original post has the newer style head, so a manual from a later 400 or even 440 might be of some help, if you can find it.

Here's a link the KZ440 Kawasaki service Manual.  Ed

Thanks for all the information every one , and fast replay! If any one comes by a service manual for my bike please inform me

I think the kz400 website is shut down I viewed that site last week it was awesome , but now i cant enter. I rely hope it will come back up, I think the service manual was able to get there. Does any one have his email ?

Thanks again

I have a complete backup, (excepted p082-099, DL link was broken). 
I will make a zip/rar file and load it up to a free file hoster.
Link will be added later. If anyone have the missing  p082-099.pdf please let me know so i can complete the Z400 manual.



And here is the DL link

Whoops good catch. Been a while since i had to find a link to one and grabbed it in a hurry when i seen the correct year and engine size. Glad to see that someone is keeping the info alive. 

Thanks Scirocco! If i find the p082-099 part i will put it up here

I tried to enter the Kz400 website today and it´s back  =)

Thanks a lot Pjattz
