i am having problems finding a service manual for my bike, its a 2003 kawasaki ZR7S. if i had that then i wouldnt have any problems splitting the crankcase. is there any way that you could find an engine breakdown and/or step by step directions on how to replace the timing chain?

one other thing is that my chain is in the middle of the camshaft/crankshaft. i just talked to one of the survice techs at a big bike shop near me and he said that the only way to replace my timing chain is to split the crank case. that the timing chain is one piece. so it looks like i have to pull the motor this winter and take the motor most of the way apart. if anyone knows anything about the ZR7S-H3 motor please let me know cause if i dont have to split the crankcase, then i would feel a whole lot better
My 03 manual shows the chain on the right side of the engine. Interesting

its a DOHC, ZR7S. i downloaded a manual for the Z750 and didnt realize it was the wrong manual til my dad pointed it out to me. i couldnt find any service manuals for the 2003 ZR7S i found a few for the 2002 ZR7S but thats about it.

I am looking at my 81-83 KZ 1000 manual. but I looked and I do not have a manual for your ride. I have reset a CCT by rolling the ride backwards and popping the clutch. But if the CCT is rounded as mentioned above, it will not stay in position.
