EMISSION CONTROL 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
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 to the inlet manifold.
Oil is separated from the gases while passing through the inside of the breather chamber from
the crankcase, and then returned to the bottom of the crankcase.
2. Exhaust Emission Control System
The exhaust emission control system applied to this engine family is engine modifications that
consist of a modified injection pump and injection timing characteristics.
The fuel system has been calibrated to provide lean air/fuel mixture characteristics, with a suitable
air cleaner and exhaust system.
A maintenance free injection system provides the most appropriate injection timing and helps
maintain a thorough combustion process within the engine which contributes to a reduction of
exhaust pollutants entering the atmosphere.
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 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.
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 Model only)
To minimize the noise emissions from this product, Kawasaki has equipped it with effective
inlet and exhaust silencing systems. They are designed to give optimum performance while
maintaining a low noise level. Please do not remove these systems, or alter them in any way
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 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.

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 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 engine oil informa-
tion, 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 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
○ 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 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.
