No it dose not need engine running

Obviously you haven't got a manual so the simplest solution would be to ring your nearest kawasaki dealer/or pop in and ask the mechanic to consult his workshop manual. Some will know off the top of their heads as they do it week in week out.

Check your engine and transmission oil for anti freeze. Also check to make sure your engine breather is not plugged. You probably have a leaking water pump seal , that is allowing oil to get into your anti freeze through the transmission. Normally when this happens the anti freeze goes into the transmission oil.
If there is no anti freeze in the lower engine or transmission , then the oil is leaking from a high pressure oil line going to the head to the cooling chambers filled with anti freeze. This means you probably need to replace your head gasket on the motor. While you have the head off check to make sure that the head has not warped. If it is warped it may have to be machined back to flat or replaced.

You mix with gas 40 to 1 ratio will work. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/michael_18b4936ebf017b21

change the thrust bearing.

Yes, but put it back on by hand a then use a torque wrench to tighten it down. Remounting using an air gun could strip the threads on the crank shaft. New cranks are expensive. Chances are you will need a flywheel puller to actually remove the flywheel from the crankshaft.

Hi there
You will need to fully strip down the carbys to give them a good clean.
This will let you see if corrosion has set in.
Remove all the jets and clean, then blow through all the jets and holes in the carby bodys to see that everything is clear and not blocked.
You should remove the slides and needles and the jet that the needles go into(emulshion tubes). These have tiny holes in them that block easily so make sure they are clean.
Also remove the mixture screws. Then once you've blown out the holes(orrafices)replace them and set to 1.5 turns out.
You will need a pair of vacume gagues to set the sync(if the sync is out)

Drain the tranny oil and check for any metal in the fluid. that is easier sorry

I dont know about the '89 but i have read that the 1990 has about 50hp.

Sometimes you need input rotation to properly align gears spin the crankshaft a little then try.

Are you sure the torque specs posted are correct? They seem a little strange to me

Here's how I'd try to fix the clutch: 1.) Try to adjust the cable at the handlebar; usually there's a little bid of clutch lever travel (like 1/4"-1/2") before the clutch disengages. For right now, adjust the clutch so that there isn't any play and the adjustment all the way out. If the clutch disengages the transmission, then you know you have to fiddle with the cable to get it adjusted properly. 2.) The clutch plates could be sticking: here you'd have to take the clutch cover off and get to the clutch. Remove the clutch (usually an impact is ideal for removing the clutch holding nut. Take the clutch apart (steels and clutches), make sure they aren't sticking together. Then dip the clutches in oil, then reassemble. 3.) Sometimes the clutch basket (holds all of the clutches and steels in a "basket") gets grooves in it. These grooves prevent the clutch from disengaging. Sometimes you can file the clutch basket fingers down to remove the grooves. Alternatively, if the clutch basket fingers are really worn, you may have to replace the clutch basket. Typically, when your in the clutch side of the engine case, I'd examine 2 and 3 (above) at the same time.
