EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION (US and CA Models Only) To protect the environment in which we all live, Kawasaki has incorporated crankcase emission (1), exhaust emission (2) and evaporative emission (3) control systems in compliance with applicable regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and 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 led 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 This system reduces the amount of pollutants discharged into the atmosphere by the exhaust of this vehicle. The fuel, ignition and exhaust systems of this vehicle have been carefully designed and con- structed to ensure an efficient engine with low exhaust pollutant levels. A maintenance free ignition system provides the most favorable ignition timing and helps maintain a thorough combustion process within the engine which contributes to a reduction of exhaust pollutants entering the atmosphere. 3. Evaporative Emission Control System The evaporative emission control system for this vehicle consists of low permeation fuel hoses and a fuel tank. 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 knowingly 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 following 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 vehicle. c.Addition of components or accessories that result in the vehicle exceeding the standards. 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.

PLEASE DO NOT TAMPER WITH NOISE CONTROL SYSTEM (US and CA Models Only) TAMPERING WITH EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM PROHIBITED: Federal regulations and California State law prohibit 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 purposes of emission 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. Do not tamper with the original emission related parts: • Throttle body or internal parts • Spark plugs • Ignition system • Fuel pump/Fuel injectors • Air cleaner element • Electronic control unit (ECU) 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 or any internal portion of the muffler. * Removal of the air cleaner housing or air cleaner housing cover. * Modifications to the muffler or air intake system by cutting, drilling, or other means if such modifications result in increased noise levels. * Modification to the air cleaner element.

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, thor- oughly familiarize yourself with the procedures before starting work, and then do the work carefully 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 adversely 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 Vehi- cle parts. Special tools, gauges, and testers that are necessary when servicing Kawasaki vehicles are introduced by the Service Man- ual. Genuine parts provided as spare parts are listed in the Parts Catalog. • Follow the procedures in this manual carefully. 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 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 engine oil information, use the Quick Reference Guide to locate the Engine lubrication System chapter. Then, use the Table of Contents on the first page of the chapter to find the Engine Oil section. Whenever you see symbols, heed their instructions! 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 ○ This note symbol indicates points of par- ticular 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 inspec- tion 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.
