EMISSION CONT ROL INFORMATION
To protect the environment in which we all live, Kawasaki has incorporated crankcase emission
(1) and exhaust emission (2) control systems in compliance with applicable regulations of the
California Air Resources Board.
1. Crankcase Emission Control System
A sealed-type crankcase emission control system is used to eliminate blow-by gases. The
blow-by gases are l ed to the breather chamber through the crankcase. Then, it is led to the
air cleaner.
Oil is separated from the gases while passing through the inside of the breather chamber
from the crankcase, and then returned back to the bottom of crankcase.
2. Exhaust Emission Control System
The exhaust emission control system applied to this engine family is engine modifications
that consist of a modified carburetor and an ignition system having optimum ignition timing
characteristics.
The carburetor has been calibrated to provide lean air/fuel mixture characteristics and opti-
mum fuel economy with a suitable air cleaner and exhaust system.
A maintenance free ignition system provides the m ost favorable ignition timing and helps
maintain a thorough combustion process within the engine which contributes to a reduction
of exhaust pollutants entering the atomosphere.
The Clean Air Act, which is the Federal law covering motor vehicle pollution, contains what is
commonly referred to as the Act’s "tampering provisions."
"Sec. 203(a) The following acts and the causing thereof are prohibited...
(3)(A) for any person to remove or render inoperative any device or element of design installed
on or in a motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine in compliance with regulations under this
title prior to its sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser, or f or any manufacturer or dealer
knowingly to remove or render inoperative any such device or element of design after such
sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser.
(3)(B) for any person engaged in the business of repairing, servicing, selling, leasing, or trading
motor v ehicles or motor vehicle engines, or who operates a fleet of motor vehicles know-
ingly to remove or render inoperative any device or element of design installed on or in a
motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine in compliance with regulations under this title follow-
ing its sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser..."
NOTE
The phrase "remove or render inoperative any device or element of design" has been generally
interpreted as follows:
1. Tampering does not include the temporary removal or rendering inoperative of de-
vices or elem ents of design in order to perform maintenance.
2. Tampering could include:
a.Maladjustment of vehicle components such that the emission standards are ex-
ceeded.
b.Use of replacement parts or accessories which adversely affect the performance
or durability of the vehicle.
c.Addition of components or accessories that result in the vehicle exceeding the stan-
dards.
d.Permanently removing, disconnecting, or rendering inoperative any component or
element of design of the emission control systems.

PLEASE D O NOT TAMPER WITH NOISE CONTROL SYSTEM
(US MODEL only)
To minimize the noise emissions from this product, Kawasaki has equipped it with effective
intake and exhaust silencing systems. They are designed to give optimum performance while
maintaining a l ow noise level. Please do not remove these systems, or alter them in any which
results in an increase in noise level.
Foreword
This manual is designed primarily for use by
trained mechanics in a properly equipped shop.
However, it contains enough detail and basic in-
formation to make it useful to the owner who de-
sires to perform his own basic maintenance and
repair work. A basic knowledge of mechanics,
the proper use of tools, and workshop proce-
dures must be understood in order to carry out
maintenance and repair satisfactorily. When-
ever the owner has insufficient experience or
doubts his ability to do the work, all adjust-
ments, maintenance, and repair should be car-
ried out only by qualified mechanics.
In order to perform the work efficiently and
to avoid costly mistakes, read the text, thor-
oughly f amiliarize yourself with the procedures
before starting work, and then do the w ork care-
fully in a clean area. Whenever special tools or
equipment are specified, do not use makeshift
tools or equipment. Precision measurem ents
can only be made if the proper instruments are
used, and the use of substitute tools may ad-
versely affect s afe operation.
For the duration of the warranty period,
we recommend that all repairs and scheduled
maintenance be performed in accordance with
this service manual. Any owner maintenance or
repair procedure not performed in accordance
with this manual may void the warranty.
To get the longest life out of your vehicle:
•
Follow the Periodic Maintenance Chart in the
Service Manual.
•
Be alert for problems and non-scheduled
maintenance.
•
Use proper tools and genuine Kawasaki Vehi-
cle parts. Special tools, gauges, and testers
that are necessary when servicing Kawasaki

1-2 GENERAL INFORMATION
Before Servicing
Before starting to perform an inspection service or carry out a disassembly and reassembly oper-
ation on a vehicle, read the precautions given below. To facilitate actual operations, notes, illustra-
tions, photographs, cautions, and detailed descriptions have been included in each chapter wherever
necessary. This section explains the items that require particular attention during the removal and
reinstallation or disassembly and reassembly of general parts.
Especially note the following:
(1) Dirt
Before removal and disassembly, clean the vehicle. Any dirt entering the engine will shorten the
life of the vehicle. For the same reason, before installing a new part, clean off any dust or metal
filings.
(2) B attery Ground
Disconnect the ground (–) wire from the battery before performing any disassembly operations
on the vehicle. This prevents the engine from accidentally turning over while work is being carried
out, sparks from being generated while disconnecting the wires from electrical parts, as well as
damage to the electrical parts themselves. For reinstallation, first connect the posit ive w ire t o the
positive (+) terminal of the battery
(3) Installation, Assembly
Generally, installation or assembly is the reverse of removal or disassembly. However, if i nstal-
lation or assembly sequence is given in this Service Manual, follow it. N ote parts locations and
cable, wire, and hose routing during removal or disassembly so they can be installed or assem-
bled in the same way. It is preferable to mark and record the locations and routing whenever
possible.
(4) Tightening Sequence
When installing bolts, nuts, or screws for which a tightening sequence is given in this Service
Manual, m ake sure to f ollow the sequence. When installing a part w ith several bolts, nuts, or
screws, start them all in their holes and tighten them to a snug fit, thus ensuring that the part has
been installed in its proper location. Then, tighten them to the specified torque in the tightening
sequence and method indicated. If tightening sequence i nstructions are not given, tighten them
evenly in a cross pattern. Conversely, to remove a part, first loosen all the bolts, nuts, or screws
that are retaining the part a 1/4–turn before removing them.
(5) Torque
When torque values are given in this Service Manual, use them. Either too little or too much
torque may lead to serious damage. Use a good quality, reliable torque wrench.
(6) Force
Common sense should dictate how m uch force is necessary in assembly and disassembly. If
a part seems especially difficult to remove or install, stop and examine what may be causing the
problem. Whenever tapping is necessary, tap lightly using a wooden or plastic-faced mallet. Use
an impact driver for screws (particularly for the removing screws held by non-permanent locking
agent) in order to avoid damaging the screw heads.
(7) E dges
Watch for sharp edges, as they could cause injury through careless handling, especially during
major engine disassembly and assembly. Use a clean piece of thick cloth when lifting the engine
or turning it over.
(8) H igh-Flash Point Solvent
A high-flash point solvent is recommended to reduce fire danger. A commercial solvent com-
monly available in North America is standard solvent (generic name). Always follow manufacturer
and container directions regarding the use of any solvent.
(9) Gasket, O-Ring
Replace a gasket or an O-ring with a new part when disassembling. Remove any foreign matter
from the mating surface of the gasket or O-ring to ensure a perfectly smooth surface to prevent
oil or compression leaks.
GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3
Before Servicing
(10) Liquid Gasket, Locking Agent
Clean and prepare surfaces where liquid gasket or non-permanent locking agent will be used.
Apply them sparingly. Excessive amount m ay block engine oil passages and cause serious dam-
age.
(11) Press
When using a press or driver to install a part s uch as a wheel bearing, apply a small amount of
oil to the area where the two parts come in contact to ensure a smooth fit.
(12) Ball Bearing and Needle Bearing
Do not remove a ball bearing or a needle bearing unless it is absolutely necessary. Replace any
ball or needle bearings that were rem oved with new ones. Install bearings with the manufacturer
and size marks facing out, applying pressure evenly with a suitable driver. Apply force only to the
end of the race that contacts the press fit portion, and press it evenly over the base component.
(13) Oil Seal and Grease Seal
Replace any oil or grease seals that were removed with new ones, as removal generally dam-
ages seals. Oil or grease seals should be pressed into place using a suitable driver, applying a
force uniformly to the end of seal until the face of t he seal is even with the end of the hole, unless
instructed otherwise. When pressing in an oil or grease seal which has manufacturer’s marks,
press it in with t he marks facing out.
(14) Circlip, R etaining Ring, and Cotter Pin
When installing circlips and retaining rings, take care to compress or expand them only enough
to install them and no more. Install the circlip with its chamfered side facing load side as well.
Replace any circlips, retaining rings, and cotter pins that were removed with new ones, as re-
moval weakens and deforms them. If old ones are reused, they could become detached while
the vehicle is driven, leading to a major problem.
(15) Lubrication
Engine wear is generally at its maximum while the engine is warming up and before all the sliding
surfaces have an adequate lubricative film. During assembly, make sure to apply oil to any sliding
surface or bearing that has been cleaned. Old grease or dirty oil could have lost its lubricative
quality and may contain foreign particles that act as abrasives; therefore, make sure to wipe it off
and apply f resh grease or oil. Som e oils and greases in particular should be used only in certain
applications and may be harmful if used in an application for which they are not intended.
(16) Direction of Engine R otation
To rotate the crankshaft manually, make sure to do so in the direction of positive rotation. Pos-
itive rotation i s counterclockwise as viewed from the left side of the engine. To carry out proper
adjustment, it i s furthermore necessary to rotate the engine in the dir ection of positive rotation as
well.
(17) Replacement Parts
When there is a replacement instruction, replace these parts with new ones every time they are
removed.
Replacement parts will be damaged or lose their ori ginal function once they are removed. There-
fore, always replace these parts with new ones every time t hey are removed. Although the pre-
viously mentioned gasket, O-ring, ball bearing, needle bearing, grease seal, oil seal, circlip, and
cotter pin have not been so designated in their respective text, they are r eplacement parts.
(18) Electrical Wires
All the electrical wires are either one-color or tw o-color. A two-color wire is identified first by the
primary color and then the stripe color. For example, a yellow wire with thin red stripes is referred
to as a “yellow/red” w ire; it would be a “red/yellow” w ire if the colors were reversed. Unless in-
structed otherwise, electrical wires must be connected t o wires of the same color.
