EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION To protect the environment in which we all live, Kawasaki has incorporated crankcase emis- sion (1) and exhaust emission (2) control systems in compliance with applicable regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board. Addi- tionally, Kawasaki has incorporated an evaporative emission control system (3) in compliance with applicable regulations of the California Air Resources Board on vehicles sold in California only. 1. Crankcase Emission Control System This system eliminates the release of crankcase vapors into the atmosphere. Instead, the vapors are routed through an oil separator to the intake side of the engine. While the engine is operating, the vapors are drawn into combustion chamber, where they are burned along with the fuel and air supplied by the fuel injection system. 2. Exhaust Emission Control System This system reduces the amount of pollutants discharged into the atmosphere by the exhaust of this motorcycle. The fuel, ignition, and exhaust systems of this motorcycle have been carefully designed and constructed to ensure an efficient engine with low exhaust pollutant levels. The exhaust system of this model motorcycle manufactured primarily for sale in California in- cludes a catalytic converter system. 3. Evaporative Emission Control System Vapors caused by fuel evaporation in the fuel system are not vented into the atmosphere. In- stead, fuel vapors are routed into the running engine to be burned, or stored in a canister when the engine is stopped. 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 for 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 vehicles 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 elements 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 motorcycle. 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. WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL DEALERS OBSERVE THESE PROVISIONS OF FEDERAL LAW, THE VIOLATION OF WHICH IS PUNISHABLE BY CIVIL PENALTIES NOT EXCEEDING $10 000 PER VIOLATION.
TAMPERING WITH NOISE CONTROL SYSTEM PROHIBITED Federal law prohibits the following acts or the causing thereof. (1) The removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes of maintenance, repair, or replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or (2) the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person. Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are the acts listed below. • Replacement of the original exhaust system or muffler with a component not in compliance with Federal regulations. • Removal of the muffler(s) or any internal portion of the muffler(s). • Removal of the air box or air box cover. • Modifications to the muffler(s) or air intake system by cutting, drilling, or other means if such modifications result in increased noise levels.
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 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. 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 Mo- torcycle parts. Special tools, gauges, and testers that are necessary when servicing Kawasaki motorcycles are introduced by the Service 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 main- tenance and repair with dates and any new parts installed. How to Use This Manual In this manual, the product is divided into its major systems and these systems make up the manual’s chapters. 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 Ta- ble of Contents. For example, if you want stick coil information, use the Quick Reference Guide to locate the Electrical System chapter. Then, use the Table of Contents on the first page of the chapter to find the Stick Coil section. Whenever you see symbols, heed their in- structions! Always follow safe operating and maintenance practices. DANGER DANGER indicates a hazardous situa- tion which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. WARNING WARNING indicates a hazardous situa- tion which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. NOTICE NOTICE is used to address practices not related to personal injury. This manual contains four more symbols which will help you distinguish different types of information. NOTE ○ NOTE indicates information that may help or guide you in the operation or service of the vehicle. • 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 inspec- tion in the procedural step or sub-step it fol- lows. 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 spec- ified tightening torque, oil, grease or a locking agent during assembly.
