Foreword This manual is designed primarily for use by trained mechanics in a properly equipped shop. However, it contains enough detail and basic information 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 procedures 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, thoroughly familiarize yourself with the procedures before starting work, and then do the work care- fully in a clean area. Whenever special tools or equipment are specified, do not use makeshift tools or equipment. Precision measurements can only be made if the proper instruments are used, and the use of substitute tools may ad- versely affect safe operation. 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 Mo- torcycle parts. Special tools, gauges, and testers that are necessary when servicing Kawasaki motorcycles are introduced by the Special Tool Catalog or Manual. Genuine parts provided as spare parts are listed in the Parts Catalog. • Follow the procedures in this manual care- fully. Don’t take shortcuts. • Remember to keep complete records of maintenance and repair with dates and any new parts installed. How to Use This Manual In preparing this manual, we divided the product into its major systems. These systems be- came the manual’s chapters. All information for a particular system from adjustment through disassembly and inspection is located in a sin- gle chapter. The Quick Reference Guide shows you all of the product’s system and assists in locating their chapters. Each chapter in turn has its own comprehensive Table of Contents. The Periodic Maintenance Chart is located in the Periodic Maintenance chapter. The chart gives a time schedule for required maintenance operations. If you want spark plug information, for exam- ple, go to the Periodic Maintenance Chart first. The chart tells you how frequently to clean and gap the plug. Next, use the Quick Reference Guide to locate the Periodic Maintenance chapter. Then, use the Table of Contents on the first page of the chapter to find the Spark Plug section. Whenever you see these WARNING and CAUTION symbols, heed their instructions! Always follow safe operating and maintenance practices. WARNING This warning symbol identifies special instructions or procedures which, if not correctly followed, could result in per- sonal injury, or loss of life. CAUTION This caution symbol identifies special instructions or procedures which, if not strictly observed, could result in dam- age to or destruction of equipment. This manual contains four more symbols (in addition to WARNING and CAUTION) which will help you distinguish different types of information. http://manuals.magnamaniac.com

NOTE ○ This note symbol indicates points of particular interest for more efficient and con- venient operation. • Indicates a procedural step or work to be done. ○ Indicates a procedural sub-step or how to do the work of the procedural step it follows. It also precedes the text of a NOTE. Indicates a conditional step or what action to take based on the results of the test or inspection in the procedural step or sub-step it follows. In most chapters an exploded view illustration of the system components follows the Table of Contents. In these illustrations you will find the instructions indicating which parts require specified tightening torque, oil, grease or a locking agent during assembly. http://manuals.magnamaniac.com

1-2 GENERAL INFORMATION Before Servicing Before starting to perform an inspection service or carry out a disassembly and reassembly operation on a motorcycle, read the precautions given below. To facilitate actual operations, notes, illustrations, 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: Edges of Parts Lift large or heavy parts wearing gloves to prevent injury from possible sharp edges on the parts. Solvent Use a high flush point solvent when cleaning parts. High flush point solvent should be used according to directions of the solvent manufacturer. Cleaning vehicle before disassembly Clean the vehicle thoroughly before disassembly. Dirt or other foreign materials entering into sealed areas during vehicle disassembly can cause excessive wear and decrease performance of the vehicle. Arrangement and Cleaning of Removed Parts Disassembled parts are easy to confuse. Arrange the parts according to the order the parts were disassembled and clean the parts in order prior to assembly. http://manuals.magnamaniac.com
