@Gregory – Your comment isn’t very comprehensible, but I assume you are looking for the English repair manual for your new bike. Just use the search box and you’ll find it. Or here is the link:

same as greg pappas but….
through the seller I paid to have the carbs cleaned, too bad the mach. didnt know how to keep the bowls from leaking, at least the bike runs great. since I already paid 275, I am hesitant about taking the bike to kawaski.
I have new o-rings but there appears to be quite a lot of stuff to remove just to remove the carbs, to replace the o-rings. to me it does look like the joining braket (4 carbs) is mounted on top of the bowl retainer screws. I have tools, garage and patience. I would like to replace these o-ring the right way and not remove unecessary parts.
any help would be appreciated

Leaking bowls are often caused by having the float heights set to high rather than bad gaskets/o-rings. You’ll need to take off your tank, seat, side plastics, disconnect the throttle and airbox etc. If you’re doing it for the first time it will be a learning experience. But it gets exponentially easier the next time – and if you keep the bike for a while, there will be a next time :).

Thank you for replying. Since my last question, I went for it, and did most of what you suggested but stopped at the cables. Then I noticed, I could see all the screws to remove the bowls and to be honest I was worried that I might make things worse. I went to Lowes and bought ALL stubbie screw drivers, 90degree rechets, AND BOOM! far left side gasket was cut. Problem fixed
Thanks again,
Robb

Awesome, that’s an excellent tip. Some bikes have just enough space below the bowls to sneak in a small screwdriver and take the bowls off without removing the carbs. I’ve had good luck using a ratchet with a small screwdriver attachment, that way I have some leverage and a good handhold.
Glad to hear you’re back on the road. Cheers!
