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

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

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 optimum fuel economy with a suitable air cleaner and exhaust system.

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.

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 devices or elements of design in order to perform maintenance.

2. Tampering could include: a.Maladjustment of vehicle components such that the emission standards are exceeded.

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.

Property of www.SmallEngineDiscount.com - Not for Resale

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 intake 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 which results in an increase in noise level.

1-2 GENERAL INFORMATION

Before Servicing

Before starting to perform an inspection service or carry out a disassembly and reassembly operation on a vehicle, 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:

Battery Ground

Before completing any service on the vehicle, disconnect the battery wires from the battery to prevent the engine from accidentally turning over. Disconnect the ground wire (–) first and then the positive (+). When completed with the service, first connect the positive (+) wire to the positive

(+) terminal of the battery then the negative (–) wire to the negative terminal.

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.

Property of www.SmallEngineDiscount.com - Not for Resale

Before Servicing

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.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3

Storage of Removed Parts

After all the parts including subassembly parts have been cleaned, store the parts in a clean area. Put a clean cloth or plastic sheet over the parts to protect from any foreign materials that may collect before re-assembly.

Inspection

Reuse of worn or damaged parts may lead to serious accident. Visually inspect removed parts for corrosion, discoloration, or other damage. Refer to the appropriate sections of this manual for service limits on individual parts. Replace the parts if any damage has been found or if the part is beyond its service limit.

Replacement Parts

Replacement Parts must be KAWASAKI genuine or recommended by KAWASAKI. Gaskets, O-rings, Oil seals,

Grease seals, circlips or cotter pins must be replaced with new ones whenever disassembled.

Assembly Order

In most cases assembly order is the reverse of disassembly, however, if assembly order is provided in this Service

Manual, follow the procedures given.

1-4 GENERAL INFORMATION

Before Servicing

Tightening Sequence

Generally, when installing a part with several bolts, nuts, or screws, start them all in their holes and tighten them to a snug fit. Then tighten them according to the specified sequence to prevent case warpage or deformation which can lead to malfunction. Conversely when loosening the bolts, nuts, or screws, first loosen all of them by about a quarter turn and then remove them. If the specified tightening sequence is not indicated, tighten the fasteners alternating diagonally.

Tightening Torque

Incorrect torque applied to a bolt, nut, or screw may lead to serious damage. Tighten fasteners to the specified torque using a good quality torque wrench.

Often, the tightening sequence is followed twice initial tightening and final tightening with torque wrench.

Force

Use common sense during disassembly and assembly, excessive force can cause expensive or hard to repair damage. When necessary, remove screws that have a non

-permanent locking agent applied using an impact driver.

Use a plastic-faced mallet whenever tapping is necessary.

Gasket, O-ring

Hardening, shrinkage, or damage of both gaskets and O-rings after disassembly can reduce sealing performance.

Remove old gaskets and clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly so that no gasket material or other material remains. Install new gaskets and replace used

O-rings when re-assembling.

Liquid Gasket, Locking Agent

For applications that require Liquid Gasket or a

Non-Permanent Locking Agent, clean the surfaces so that no oil residue remains before applying liquid gasket or locking agent. Do not apply them excessively. Excessive application can clog oil passages and cause serious damage.

Property of www.SmallEngineDiscount.com - Not for Resale

Before Servicing

Press

For items such as bearings or oil seals that must be pressed into place, apply small amount of oil to the contact area. Be sure to maintain proper alignment and use smooth movements when installing.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-5

Ball Bearing and Needle Bearing

Do not remove pressed ball or needle unless removal is absolutely necessary. Replace with new ones whenever removed. Press bearings with the manufacturer and size marks facing out. Press the bearing into place by putting pressure on the correct bearing race as shown.

Pressing the incorrect race can cause pressure between the inner and outer race and result in bearing damage.

Oil Seal, Grease Seal

Do not remove pressed oil or grease seals unless removal is necessary. Replace with new ones whenever removed.

Press new oil seals with manufacture and size marks facing out. Make sure the seal is aligned properly when installing.

Apply specified grease to the lip of seal before installing the seal.

Circlips, Cotter Pins

Replace circlips or cotter pins that were removed with new ones. Take care not to open the clip excessively when installing to prevent deformation.

1-6 GENERAL INFORMATION

Before Servicing

Lubrication

It is important to lubricate rotating or sliding parts during assembly to minimize wear during initial operation. Lubrication points are called out throughout this manual, apply the specific oil or grease as specified.

Direction of Engine Rotation

When rotating the crankshaft by hand, the free play amount of rotating direction will affect the adjustment. Rotate the crankshaft to positive direction (clockwise viewed from output side).

Electrical Wires

A two-color wire is identified first by the primary color and then the stripe color. Unless instructed otherwise, electrical wires must be connected to those of the same color.

Throttle Lever Free Play Inspection

Check that the throttle lever [A] moves smoothly from full open to close, and the throttle closes quickly and completely in all steering positions by the return spring.

If the throttle lever does not return properly, check the throttle cable routing, lever free play, and cable damage.

Then lubricate the throttle cable.

Run the engine at the idle speed, and turn the handlebar all the way to the right and left to ensure that the idle speed does not change.

If the idle speed increases, check the throttle lever free play and the cable routing.

Stop the engine and check the throttle lever free play [B].

If the free play is not within the specified range, adjust the cable.

Drive Belt Inspection

Inspection of the drive belt is required at least every 90 days of vehicle use (average 12 mile/day) not to exceed 1

700 km (1 100 mile) or belt indicator light turn on (100 hours of use) counted by the hour meter. More frequent inspection is necessary if the vehicle is subjected to hard usage.

WARNING

Neglect, abuse, or failure to maintain the transmission can result in a severely worn or damaged drive belt locking up the transmission and wheels. This can cause the operator to lose control and have an accident resulting in injury or death.

Remove the torque converter cover (see Converter System chapter).

Measure the width [A] of the belt at several locations with a pair of suitable straightedges [B] as shown.

If any measurements exceed the service limit, replace the belt.

Push hard, but with no more force than 59 N (6 kgf, 13 lb).

Belt Deflection

Standard: 22

27 mm (0.87

1.06 in.)

If the belt deflection is not within the specified range, adjust the deflection by adding or removing spacers on the fixed sheave of the driven pulley.

When adjusting the deflection, less is better than more.

Less deflection will maintain better performance for more time as the belt width decreases by normal wear, which causes the deflection to increase with usage.

Drive Belt Deflection Adjustment

Disassemble the driven pulley (see Converter System chapter).

If the belt deflection is more than 27 mm (1.06 in.), remove the spacers to decrease it.

The rule-of-thumb is: 0.1 mm (0.004 in.) change in spacer thickness equals about 1.3 mm (0.051 in.) change in belt deflection.

If the adjustment cannot be done within the specified range even if the shim is removed, replace the drive belt.

If the belt deflection is less than 22 mm (0.87 in.), add the spacers [A] to increase it.

The rule-of-thumb is: 0.1 mm (0.004 in.) change in spacer thickness equals about 1.6 mm (0.063 in.) change in belt deflection.

Visually synchronize the throttle (butterfly) valves.

Check to see that all throttle valves open and close smoothly without binding when turning the pulley.

Visually check the clearance [A] between the throttle valve and the carburetor bore in each carburetor.

If there is a difference between two carburetors, turn the balance adjusting screw [A] to obtain the same clearance.

Install the carburetors (see Carburetor Installation).

Adjust the synchronization (see Synchronization Adjustment).

Carburetor Cleaning

WARNING

Clean the carburetor in a well-ventilated area and take care that there are no sparks or flame anywhere near the working area; this includes any appliance with a pilot light. Because of the danger of highly flammable liquids, do not use gasoline or low-flash point solvents to clean the carburetor.

CAUTION

Do not use compressed air on an assembled carburetor, the float may be crushed by the pressure, and the vacuum piston diaphragm may be damaged.

Remove as many rubber or plastic parts from the carburetor as possible before cleaning the carburetor with a cleaning solution. This will prevent damage or deterioration of the parts.

The carburetor body has plastic parts that cannot be removed. Do not use a strong carburetor cleaning solution which could attack these parts; instead, use a mild high-flash point cleaning solution safe for plastic parts.

Do not use wire or any other hard instrument to clean carburetor parts, especially jets, as they may be damaged.

4-4 COOLING SYSTEM

Coolant Flow Chart

Permanent type antifreeze is used as a coolant to protect the cooling system from rust and corrosion.

When the engine starts, the water pump (coupled with the oil pump) turns and the coolant circulates.

The thermostat is a wax pellet type which opens or closes with coolant temperature changes. The thermostat continuously changes its valve opening to keep the coolant temperature at the proper level.

When coolant temperature is below 69.5

72.5°C (157

162°F), the thermostat closes so that the coolant flow is restricted through the air bleeder hole, causing the engine to warm up more quickly.

When coolant temperature is more than 69.5

72.5°C (157

162°F), the thermostat opens and the coolant flows. When the coolant temperature goes up beyond 96

100°C (205

212°F), the radiator fan switch conducts to operate the radiator fan. The radiator fan draws air through the radiator core when there is not sufficient air flow such as at low speeds. This increases up the cooling action of the radiator. When the temperature is below 91

95°C (195

203°F), the fan switch opens and the radiator fan stops.

In this way, this system controls the engine temperature within narrow limits where the engine operates most efficiently even if the engine load varies.

The system is pressurized by the radiator cap to suppress boiling and the resultant air bubbles which can cause engine overheating. As the engine warms up, the coolant in the radiator and the water jacket expands. The excess coolant flows through the radiator cap and hose to the reserve tank to be stored there temporarily. Conversely, as the engine cools down, the coolant in the radiator and the water jacket contract, and the stored coolant flows back to the radiator from the reserve tank.

The radiator cap has two valves. One is a pressure valve which holds the pressure in the system when the engine is running. When the pressure exceeds 93

123 kPa (0.95

1.25 kgf/cm², 14

18 psi), the pressure valve opens and releases the pressure to the reserve tank. As soon as pressure escapes, the valve closes, and keeps the pressure at 93

123 kPa (0.95

1.25 kgf/cm², 14

18 psi).

When the engine cools down, another small valve (vacuum valve) in the cap opens. As the coolant cools, the coolant contracts to form a vacuum in the system. The vacuum valve opens and allows the coolant from the reserve tank to enter the radiator.

Coolant

Coolant Deterioration Inspection

Visually inspect the coolant in the reserve tank [A].

If whitish cotton-like wafts are observed, aluminum parts in the cooling system are corroded.

If the coolant is brown, iron or steel parts are rusting. In either case, flush the cooling system.

If the coolant gives off an abnormal smell, check for cooling system leak. It may be caused by exhaust gas leaking into the cooling system.

Coolant Level Inspection

NOTE

Check the level when the engine is cold (room or ambient temperature).

Check the coolant level in the reserve tank with the vehicle held perpendicularly.

Reserve Tank [A]

F (full) Mark [B]

L (low) Mark [C]

If the coolant level is lower than the L mark, Remove the reserve tank cap [A], then add coolant to the F mark [B].

CAUTION

For refilling, add the specified mixture of coolant and soft water.

Adding water alone dilutes the coolant and degrades its anticorrosion properties.

The diluted coolant can attach the aluminum engine parts. In an emergency, soft water can be added.

But the diluted coolant must be returned to the correct mixture ration within a few days.

If coolant must be added often, or the reserve tank has run completely dry; there is probably leakage in the cooling system. Check the system for leaks.

Pressure Testing

Remove the radiator cap, and install a cooling system pressure tester [A] on the radiator filler neck.

NOTE

Wet the cap sealing surfaces with water or coolant to prevent pressure leakage.

Build up pressure in the system carefully until the pressure reaches 123 kPa (1.25 kgf/cm², 18 psi).

CAUTION

During pressure testing, do not exceed the pressure for which the system is designed. The maximum pressure is 123 kPa (1.25 kgf/cm², 18 psi).

Watch the gauge for at least 6 seconds.

If the pressure holds steady, the system is alright.

If the pressure drops soon, check for leaks.

Camshaft Chain Tensioner Removal

CAUTION

This is a non-return type cam chain tensioner. The push rod does not return to its original position once it moves out to take up cam chain slack. Observe all the rules listed below:

When removing the tensioner, do not take out the mounting bolts only partway.

Retightening the mounting bolts from this position could damage the tensioner and the camshaft chain. Once the bolts are loosened, the tensioner must be removed and reset as described in “Camshaft Chain Tensioner Installation”.

Do not turn over the crankshaft while the tensioner is removed. This could upset the cam chain timing, and damage the valves.

Camshaft

Camshaft Bearing Wear

The journal wear is measured using plastigage (press gauge), which is inserted into the clearance to be measured.

The plastigage indicates the clearance by the amount it is compressed and widened when the parts are assembled.

Cut strips of plastigage to journal width. Place a strip on each journal parallel to the camshaft with the camshaft installed in the correct position so that the plastigage will be compressed between the journal and rocker case.

Install the rocker case, tightening the bolts in the correct sequence to the specified torque (see Rocker Case Installation).

NOTE

Do not turn the camshaft when the plastigage is between the journal and rocker case.

Remove the rocker case and measure the plastigage width [A] to determine the clearance between the journal and the rocker case. Measure the widest portion of the plastigage.

KACR Inspection

The Kawasaki Automatic Compression Release (KACR) momentarily opens the exhaust valves on the compression stroke at very low speeds. This allows some of the compression pressure to escape, making it easy to turn over the engine during starting.

Due to the simplicity of the mechanism, no periodic maintenance is needed. There are only two symptoms of problems with the KACR mechanism [A]: compression is not released during starting, and compression is released during running.

(1) If compression is not released during starting, the weights are not returning to their rest position.

Remove the camshaft (see Camshaft Removal).

Remove the KACR unit.

Visually inspect the spring.

If damaged, deformed, or missing, replace the spring.

Remove the spring and move the weights back and forth.

If the weights do not move smoothly, replace the KACR unit. Also inspect the exhaust rocker arm for any damage, and replace the rocker arm if necessary.

(2) If compression is released while the engine is running, the weights are not swinging out.

Seat Cutter Operation Care

1. This valve seat cutter is developed to grind the valve seat for repair. Therefore the cutter must not be used for other purposes than seat repair.

2. Do not drop or shock the valve seat cutter, or the diamond particles may fall off.

3. Do not fail to apply engine oil to the valve seat cutter before grinding the seat surface. Also wash off ground particles sticking to the cutter with washing oil.

NOTE

Do not use a wire brush to remove the metal particles from the cutter. It will take off the diamond particles.

4. Setting the valve seat cutter holder in position, operate the cutter in one hand. Do not apply too much force to the diamond portion.

NOTE

Prior to grinding, apply engine oil to the cutter and during the operation, wash off any ground particles sticking to the cutter with washing oil.

5. After use, wash it with washing oil and apply thin layer of engine oil before storing.

Fit a 45° cutter into the holder and slide it into the valve guide.

Press down lightly on the handle and turn it right or left.

Grind the seating surface only until it is smooth.

CAUTION

Do not grind the seat too much. Overgrinding will reduce valve clearance by sinking the valve into the head. If the valve sinks too far into the head, it will be impossible to adjust the clearance, and the cylinder head must be replaced.

If the outside diameter [A] of the seating surface is too large, make the 32° grind described below.

If the outside diameter of the seating surface is within the specified range, measure the seat width as described below.

Grind the seat at a 32° angle [B] until the seat O.D. is within the specified range.

To make the 32° grind, fit a 32° cutter into the holder, and slide it into the valve guide.

Turn the holder one turn at a time while pressing down very lightly. Check the seat after each turn.

CAUTION

The 32° cutter removes material very quickly.

Check the seat outside diameter frequently to prevent overgrinding.

After making the 32° grind, return to the seat O.D. measurement step above.

To measure the seat width, use vernier calipers to measure the width of the 45° angle portion of the seat at several places around the seat.

If the seat width is too narrow, repeat the 45° grind until the seat is slightly too wide, and then return to the seat

Exhaust System Inspection

Before removing the exhaust system, check for signs of leakage at the exhaust pipe gasket in the cylinder head and at the muffler clamp.

If there are signs of leakage around the exhaust pipe gasket, it should be replaced. If the muffler-to-exhaust pipe joint leaks, tighten the clamp.

Remove the exhaust pipe and muffler (see Muffler and

Exhaust Pipe Removal).

Inspect the gasket for damage and signs of leakage.

If the gasket is damaged or has been leaking, replace it.

Check the exhaust pipe and muffler for dents, cracks, rust and holes.

If the exhaust pipe or muffler is damaged or has holes, it should be replaced for best performance and least noise.

Torque Converter

WARNING

Excessive imbalance or operating rpm could cause torque converter pulley failure resulting in severe injury or death. The pulleys of the belt drive torque converter are precision balanced components designed to operate within certain rpm limits. Disassembly/assembly and servicing procedures of the pulley assemblies must be followed closely. Modifications to the engine or pulleys that increase rpm may cause failure.

CAUTION

Do not turn the ignition switch OFF position from

ON position, while the torque converter cover is removed.

If it is done, the learning control of Kawasaki Engine

Brake Control system works and the engine brake actuator works an error operation.

NOTE

If the drive belt failure detection system is activated by abnormal belt, the drive belt failure detection switch is damaged. Make sure to replace the torque converter cover (see Torque Converter Cover Removal/Installation).

Engine Oil and Oil Filter

WARNING

Vehicle operation with insufficient, deteriorated, or contaminated engine oil will cause accelerated wear and may result in engine or transmission seizure, accident, and injury.

Oil Level Inspection

Park the vehicle so that it is level, both side-to-side and front-to-rear.

If the oil has just been changed, start the engine, and run it for several minutes to fill the oil filter.

CAUTION

Allow the engine to idle for several minutes so that oil may reach all parts of the engine. Racing a "dry" engine may cause severe damage.

Stop the engine and wait several minutes for all the oil to drain back to the sump.

Unscrew the oil filler cap [A], wipe its dipstick [B] dry, and tighten it into the filler opening.

Unscrew the oil filler cap and check the oil level. The oil level should be between the upper (H) and lower (L) level lines [C].

If the level is too high, suck the excess oil out the filler hole with a syringe or other suitable device.

If the level is too low, add oil through the filler hole. Use the same type and make of oil that is already in the engine.

Engine Oil Change

Refer to the Engine Oil Change in the Periodic Maintenance chapter.

Oil Filter Change

Refer to the Oil Filter Change in the Periodic Maintenance chapter.

Oil Screen Removal

Split the crankcase (see Crankshaft/Transmission chapter).

Pull the oil screen [A] out of the crankcase.

8-8 ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM

Engine Oil and Oil Filter

Oil Screen Cleaning

Clean the oil screen [A] thoroughly whenever it is removed for any reason.

Clean the oil screen with a high-flash point solvent and remove any particles stuck to it.

WARNING

Clean the screen in a well-ventilated area, and take care that there is no spark or flame anywhere near the working area. Because of the danger of highly flammable liquids, do not use gasoline or low-flash point solvents.

NOTE

While cleaning the screen, check for any metal particles that might indicate internal engine damage.

Check the screen carefully for any damage, holes, broken wires, or gasket pulling off.

If the screen is damaged, replace it.

Oil Pressure Measurement

NOTE

Measure the oil pressure after the engine is warmed up.

Remove the oil pressure switch, and attach the oil pressure gauge [A] and adapter [B].

Special Tools - Oil Pressure Gauge, 10 kgf/cm²: 57001-164

Oil Pressure Gauge Adapter, PT 1/8: 57001

-1033

Oil Pressure

Standard: 430 kPa (4.4 kgf/cm², 62.6 psi) @4 000 r/min (rpm), 120°C (248°F) of oil temp.

If the oil pressure is much lower than the standard, inspect the relief valve, oil pump, and/or crankshaft bearing insert wear.

If the oil pressure is much higher than the standard, inspect the oil filter, oil screen, and other areas of the lubrication system for clogging.

Stop the engine.

Remove the oil pressure gauge and adapter.

WARNING

Take care against burns from hot engine oil that will drain through the oil passage when the gauge adapter is removed.

Apply silicone sealant to the oil pressure switch, and tighten it.

Oil Pressure Relief Valve Removal

Split the crankcase (see Crankcase Disassembly in the

Crankshaft/Transmission chapter).

Remove the oil pressure relief valve [A].

Oil Pressure Relief Valve Installation

See crankcase assembly (See Crankshaft/Transmission chapter).

Apply a non-permanent locking agent to the threads of oil pressure relief valve, and tighten it.

Torque - Oil Pressure Relief Valve: 15 N·m (1.5 kgf·m, 11 ft·lb)

Oil Pressure Relief Valve Inspection

Remove the relief valve.

Using a wooden stick, push the inner valve to make sure that the valve [A] moves smoothly and that it returns to its original position by the force of the spring [B].

NOTE

The relief valve cannot be disassembled and it must be inspected in the assembled state.

If the valve movement is not smooth, wash the relief valve with high-flash point solvent, and use compressed air to remove any foreign particles from it.

WARNING

Clean the oil pressure relief valve in a well

-ventilated area, and take care that there is no spark or flame anywhere near the working area.

Because of the danger of highly flammable liquids, do not use gasoline or low-flash point solvents.

If the valve does not move smoothly even after washing it, replace the relief valve. The oil pressure relief valve is precision made with no allowance for replacement of individual parts.

Since the ball bearings are made to extremely close tolerances, the wear must be judged by feel rather than measurement. Clean each bearing in a high-flash point solvent, dry it (do not spin the bearing while it is dry), and oil it with engine oil.

Spin [A] the bearing by hand to check its condition.

If the bearing is noisy, does not spin smoothly, or has any

• rough spots, replace it.

Check the needle bearings.

The rollers in a needle bearing normally wear very little, and wear is difficult to measure. Instead of measuring, inspect the bearing for abrasion, color change, or other damage.

If there is any doubt as to the condition of a needle bearing, replace it.

Oil Seal Inspection

Inspect the oil seals.

Replace it if the lips are misshapen, discolored (indicating that the rubber has deteriorated), hardened or otherwise damaged.

11-6 WHEELS/TIRES

Wheel Alignment

Toe-in is the amount that the front wheels are closer together in front than at the rear at the axle height. When there is toe-in, the distance A (Rear) is the greater than B

(Front) as shown.

The purpose of toe-in is to prevent the front wheels from getting out of parallel at any time, and to prevent any slipping or scuffing action between the tires and the ground. If toe-in is incorrect, the front wheels will be dragged along the ground, scuffing and wearing the tread knobs.

Caster and camber are build-in and require no adjustment.

A (Rear ) - B (Front) = Amount of Toe-in

(Distance A and B are measured at axle height with the vehicle sitting on the ground, or at 1G.)

Steering Centering Inspection

Test ride the vehicle.

If the handlebar is straight when the vehicle is traveling in a straight line, go on to the Toe-in Inspection procedure.

Otherwise, go on to the Steering Centering Adjustment procedure.

Steering Centering Adjustment

Hold a straightedge [A] against the rear wheel rim on one side at axle height.

With the handlebar straight ahead, loosen the locknuts

[A] [B] and turn the tie-rod [C] until the front wheel on that side is parallel to the straightedge.

NOTE

The locknut [B] near the L mark [D] on the tie-rod has left-hand threads. Turn the wrench clockwise for loosening.

CAUTION

Adjust the tie-rod so that the visible thread length

[A] is even on both ends of the tie-rod, or the threads could be damaged.

Property of www.SmallEngineDiscount.com - Not for Resale

Wheel Alignment

Repeat the straightedge procedure on the other side of the vehicle. Now the front wheels are parallel to each other and to the center line of the vehicle.

Front Wheel [A]

Vehicle Center Line [B]

Parallel each other [C]

Straightedges [D]

Rear Wheels [E]

Go on to the Toe-in Inspection procedure.

Toe-in Inspection

Apply a heavy coat of chalk or a paint line near the center of the front tires.

Using a needle nose scriber, make a thin mark near the center of the chalk coating while turning the wheel.

With the front wheels on the ground, set the handlebar straight ahead.

At the level of the axle height, measure the distance between the scribed or painted lines for both front and rear of the front tires.

Subtract the measurement of the front from the measurement of the rear to get the toe-in.

If the toe-in is not in the specified range, go on to the

Toe-in Adjustment procedure.

Toe-in of Front Wheels

Standard: –10

10 mm (–0.39

0.39 in.) at 1G

Toe-in Adjustment

Loosen the locknuts [A] [B] and turn the tie-rod [C] the same number of turns on both sides to achieve the specified toe-in.

NOTE

The locknut [B] near the L mark [D] on the tie-rod has left-hand threads. Turn the locknut clockwise for loosening.

Output Bevel Gears Adjustment

The backlash and tooth contact pattern of the bevel gears must be correct to prevent the gears from making noise and being damaged.

When replacing any one of the backlash-related parts, be sure to check and adjust the backlash and tooth contact.

First adjust the backlash, and then tooth contact by replacing shims.

These two adjustments are of critical importance and must be carried out in the correct sequence, using the procedures shown.

Output Bevel Gears

Bevel Gear Backlash Adjustment

The amount of backlash is influenced by driven bevel gear position more than by drive bevel gear position.

Remove the output drive idle gear (see Output Drive

Bevel Gear Removal).

Set up a dial gauge [A] against the output drive shaft spline groove to check gear backlash.

To measure the backlash, turn the shaft clockwise and counterclockwise slightly so as not to move the mate gear.

A rod can be inserted through the lower hole of the housing and into contact with driven gear. This may help to hold it still. The difference between the highest and lowest gauge reading is the amount of backlash.

If the backlash is not within the limit, replace the shim(s) at the driven bevel gear.

Change the thickness a little at a time.

Recheck the backlash, and readjust as necessary.

Output Bevel Gear Backlash

Standard: 0.05

0.11 mm (0.0020

0.0043 in.) (at output drive shaft spline)

Tooth Contact Adjustment

Tooth contact location is influenced by drive gear position more than by driven gear position.

Clean any dirt and oil off the bevel gear teeth.

Apply checking compound to 4 or 5 teeth on the output driven bevel gear.

NOTE

Apply checking compound to the teeth in a thin, even coat with a fairly stiff paint brush. If painted too thickly, the exact tooth pattern may not appear.

The checking compound must be smooth and firm with the consistency of tooth paste.

Special compounds are available from automotive supply stores for the purpose of checking differential gear tooth patterns and contact. Use this for checking the bevel gears.

Turn the output driven shaft for 3 or 4 turns in the drive and reverse (coast) directions, while creating a drag on the drive bevel gear shaft.

Check the drive pattern and coast pattern of the bevel gear teeth. The tooth contact patterns of both drive and coast sides should be centrally located between the top and bottom of the tooth, and a little closer to the toe of the tooth.

If the tooth contact pattern is incorrect, replace the shim(s) at the drive bevel gear and shim(s) at the driven bevel gear, following the examples shown. Then erase the tooth contact patterns, and check them again. Also check the backlash every time the shims are replaced. Repeat the shim change procedure as necessary.

Property of www.SmallEngineDiscount.com - Not for Resale

If the backlash is out of the standard range after changing shims, correct the backlash before checking the tooth contact pattern.

Output Bevel Gears

Example 1: Decrease the thickness of the drive bevel gear shim(s) by 0.1 mm (0.004 in.), and/or increase the thickness of the driven bevel gear shim(s) by 0.1 mm (0.004 in.) to correct the pattern shown below. Repeat in 0.1 mm (0.004

in.) steps if necessary.

Front Final Bevel Gear Adjustment

The backlash (distance one gear will move back and forth without moving the mate gear) and tooth contact pattern of the bevel gears must be correct to prevent the gears from making noise and being damaged.

Above two adjustments are of critical importance and must be carried out following the correct sequence and method.

When any one of the backlash-related parts are replaced, check and adjust the bevel gear backlash, and tooth contact by replacing shims.

The amount of backlash is influenced by the ring gear position more than by the pinion gear position.

Tooth contact location is influenced by the pinion gear position more than by the ring gear position.

Backlash Adjustment

Check and adjust the gear backlash when any of the backlash-related parts are replaced with new ones.

Clean any dirt and oil off the bevel gear teeth.

Assemble the front final gear case (see Front Final Gear

Case Assembly).

It is not necessary to install the variable front differential control unit.

Check the backlash during tightening of the front final gear case center cover bolts and stop tightening them immediately if the backlash disappears. Then, change the ring

Property of www.SmallEngineDiscount.com - Not for Resale and hold it in a vise so that the ring gear is lower than the pinion gear.

Front Final Gear Case

Mount a dial gauge [A] so that the tip of the gauge is against the splined portion [B] of the pinion gear shaft.

To measure the backlash, move the pinion gear shaft back and forth [C] while holding the front axle steady.

The difference between the highest and the lowest gauge reading is the amount of backlash.

Measure backlash at three locations equally spaced on the splines.

Front Final Bevel Gear Backlash

Standard: 0.10

0.20 mm (0.004

0.008 in.) (at pinion gear spline)

If the backlash is not within the limit, replace the pinion gear shims. To increase backlash, increase the thickness of the shim(s). To decrease backlash, decrease the thickness of the shim(s).

Change the thickness a little at a time.

Recheck the backlash, and readjust as necessary.

Tooth Contact Adjustment

Clean any dirt and oil off the bevel gear teeth.

Apply checking compound to 4 or 5 teeth on the pinion gear.

NOTE

Apply checking compound to the teeth in a thin, even coat with a fairly stiff paint brush. If painted too thickly, the exact tooth pattern may not appear.

The checking compound must be smooth and firm, with the consistency of tooth paste.

Special compounds are available from automotive supply stores for the purpose of checking differential gear tooth patterns and contact. Use one of these for checking the bevel gears.

Assemble the front final gear case (see Front Final Gear

Case Assembly).

It is not necessary to install the variable front differential control unit.

Turn the pinion gear shaft [A] for one revolution in the drive and reverse (coast) direction, while creating a drag on the ring gear.

Remove the ring gear and pinion gear unit to check the drive pattern and coast pattern of the bevel gear teeth.

Front Final Gear Case

The tooth contact patterns of both (drive and coast) sides should be centrally located between the top and bottom of the tooth. The drive pattern can be a little closer to the toe and the coast pattern can be a somewhat longer and closer to the toe.

If the tooth contact pattern is incorrect, replace the ring gear shim(s), following the examples shown.

Then erase the tooth contact patterns and check them again. Also check the backlash every time the shim(s) are replaced. Repeat the shim change procedure as necessary.

NOTE

If the backlash is out of the standard range after changing the ring gear shim(s), change the pinion gear shim(s) to correct the backlash before checking the tooth contact pattern.

Bevel Gear Inspection

Visually check the bevel gears [A] for scoring, chipping, or other damage.

Replace the bevel gears as a set if either gear is damaged.

Rear Final Bevel Gear Adjustment

The backlash and tooth contact pattern of the bevel gears must be correct to prevent the gears from making noise and being damaged.

After replacing any of the backlash-related parts, be sure to check and adjust the backlash and tooth contact of the bevel gears. First, adjust backlash, and then tooth contact by replacing shims.

The amount of backlash is influenced by the ring gear position more than by the pinion gear position.

Tooth contact locations is influenced by the pinion gear position more than by the ring gear position.

mm (0.039 in.) thickness.

Assemble the rear final gear case (see Rear Final Gear

Case Assembly).

Install the ring gear with the primary shims 1.0 mm (0.039

in.) thickness.

Check the backlash during tightening the cover bolts, and stop tightening them immediately if the backlash disappears. Then, change the ring gear shim to a thinner one.

Temporarily, install the rear axle in the gear case and hold it with a vise so that the ring gear is lower than the pinion gear.

Mount a dial gauge [A] so that the tip of the gauge is against the splined portion [B] of the pinion gear joint.

To measure the backlash, move the pinion gear shaft back and forth [C] while holding the rear axle steady.

The difference between the highest and the lowest gauge reading is the amount of backlash.

Measure backlash at three locations equally spaced on the splines.

FINAL DRIVE 12-71

Rear Final Gear Case

If the backlash is not within the standard, replace the pinion gear shim(s). To increase backlash, increase the thickness of the shim(s). To decrease backlash, decrease the thickness of the shim(s).

Change the thickness a little at a time.

Recheck the backlash, and readjust as necessary.

Tooth Contact Adjustment

Clean any dirt and oil off the bevel gear teeth.

Apply checking compound to 4 or 5 teeth of the pinion gear.

NOTE

Apply checking compound to the teeth in a thin, even coat with a fairly stiff paint brush. If painted too thickly, the exact tooth pattern may not appear.

The checking compound must be smooth and firm, with the consistency of tooth paste.

Special compounds are available at automotive supply stores for the purpose of checking gear tooth patterns and contact. Use one of these for checking the bevel gears.

Assemble the rear final gear case (see Rear Final Gear

Case Assembly).

Turn the pinion gear for one revolution in the drive and reverse (coast) direction, while creating drag on the ring gear.

Remove the ring gear and pinion gear unit to check the drive pattern and coast pattern of the bevel gear teeth.

The tooth contact patterns of both (drive and coast) sides should be centrally located between the top and bottom of the tooth. The drive pattern can be a little closer to the toe and the coast pattern can be a somewhat longer and closer to the toe.

If the tooth contact pattern is incorrect, replace the pinion gear shim(s), following the examples shown (see Correct

Tooth Contact Pattern in the Front Final Bevel Gear Adjustment section).

Then erase the tooth contact patterns, and check them again. Also check the backlash every time the shim(s) are replaced. Repeat the shim change procedure as necessary.

NOTE

If the backlash is out of the standard range after changing the pinion gear shim(s), change the ring gear shim(s) to correct the backlash before checking the tooth contact pattern.

Brake Fluid

WARNING

When working with the disc brake, observe the precautions listed below.

1. Never reuse old brake fluid.

2. Do not use fluid from a container that has been left unsealed or that has been open for a long time.

3. Do not mix two types and brands of fluid for use in the brake. This lowers the brake fluid boiling point and could cause the brake to be ineffective. It may also cause the rubber brake parts to deteriorate.

4. Don’t leave the reservoir cap off for any length of time to avoid moisture contamination of the fluid.

5. Don’t change the fluid in the rain or when a strong wind is blowing.

6. Except for the disc pads and disc, use only disc brake fluid, isopropyl alcohol, or ethyl alcohol for cleaning brake parts. Do not use any other fluid for cleaning these parts. Gasoline, engine oil, or any other petroleum distillate will cause deterioration of the rubber parts. Oil spilled on any part will be difficult to wash off completely and will eventually deteriorate the rubber used in the disc brake.

7. When handling the disc pads or disc, be careful that no disc brake fluid or any oil gets on them. Clean off any fluid or oil that inadvertently gets on the pads or disc with a high-flash point solvent. Do not use one which will leave an oily residue. Replace the pads with new ones if they cannot be cleaned satisfactorily.

8. Brake fluid quickly ruins painted surfaces; any spilled fluid should be completely washed away immediately.

9. If any of the brake line fittings or the bleed valve is opened at any time, the AIR MUST BE BLED FROM

THE BRAKE LINE.

Brake Fluid Recommendation

Use extra heavy-duty brake fluid only from a container marked DOT3 or DOT4.

Recommended Disc Brake Fluid

Brake Fluid

Brake Line Air Bleeding

Bleed the air whenever brake parts are replaced or reassembled.

Remove the reservoir cap and fill the reservoir with new brake fluid.

Slowly pump the brake lever several times until no air bubbles can be seen rising up through the fluid from the hose at the bottom of the reservoir. This bleeds the air from the master cylinder and the brake line.

NOTE

Tap the brake hose lightly going from the caliper to the reservoir side and bleed the air off at the reservoir.

Attach a clear plastic hose to the bleed valve on the caliper, and run the other end of the hose into a con-

• tainer.

Bleed the brake line and the caliper as follows:

Hold the brake lever applied [A].

Quickly open and close the valve [B].

Release the brake lever [C].

The fluid level must be checked several times during the bleeding operation and replenished as necessary.

NOTE

If the fluid in the reservoir runs completely out any time during bleeding, the bleeding operation must be done over again from the beginning since air will have entered the line.

If the brake lever action still feels soft or "spongy", tap the brake hose from bottom to top and air will rise up to the top part of the hose. Slowly pump the brake lever in the same manner as above.

Precautions

There are a number of important precautions that should be taken when servicing electrical systems. Learn and observe all the rules below.

Do not reverse the battery lead connections. This will burn out the diodes in the electrical parts.

Always check battery condition before condemning other parts of an electrical system. A fully charged battery is required for conducting accurate electrical system tests.

The electrical parts should never be struck sharply, as with a hammer, or allowed to fall on a hard surface. Such a shock to the parts can damage them.

To prevent damaging electrical parts, do not disconnect the battery leads or any other electrical connections when the ignition switch is on, or while the engine is running.

Because of the high current, never keep the starter button depressed when the starter motor will not turn over, or the current may burn out the starter motor windings.

Only use an illumination bulb rated for the voltage or wattage specified in the wiring diagram, or the handle cover could be warped by excessive heat radiated from the bulb.

Take care not to short the leads that are directly connected to the battery positive (+) terminal to chassis ground.

Troubles may involve one or in some cases all items.

Never replace a defective part without determining what

CAUSED the failure. If the failure was caused by some other item or items, they too must be repaired or replaced, or the new replacement will soon fail again.

Make sure all connectors in the circuit are clean and tight, and examine wires for signs of burning, fraying, etc. Defective wires and bad connections will affect electrical system operation.

Measure coil and winding resistance when the part is cold

(at room temperature).

Electrolyte Filling

Make sure that the model name [A] of the electrolyte container matches the model name [B] of the battery. These names must be the same.

Battery Model Name for KVF750-A1: KMX 14-BS

CAUTION

Be sure to use the electrolyte container with the same model name as the battery since the electrolyte volume and specific gravity vary with the battery type. This is to prevent overfilling of the electrolyte, shorting the battery life, and deterioration of the battery performance.

Property of www.SmallEngineDiscount.com - Not for Resale

Battery

CAUTION

Do not remove the aluminum sealing sheet [A] from the filler ports [B] until just prior to use. Be sure to use the dedicated electrolyte container for correct electrolyte volume.

Place the battery on a level surface.

Check to see that the sealing sheet has no peeling, tears, or holes in it.

Remove the sealing sheet.

NOTE

The battery is vacuum sealed. If the sealing sheet has leaked air into the battery, it may require a longer initial charge.

Remove the electrolyte container from the vinyl bag.

Detach the strip of caps [A] from the container and set aside, these will be used later to seal the battery.

NOTE

Do not pierce or otherwise open the sealed cells [B] of the electrolyte container. Do not attempt to separate individual cells.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 17-21

Place the electrolyte container upside down with the six sealed cells into the filler ports of the battery. Hold the container level, push down to break the seals of all six cells. You will see air bubbles rising into each cell as the ports fill.

NOTE

Do not tilt the electrolyte container

Check the electrolyte flow.

If no air bubbles [A] are coming up from the filler ports, or if the container cells have not emptied completely, tap the container [B] a few times.

Keep the container in place for 20 minutes or more. Don’t remove the container from the battery until it’s empty, the battery requires all the electrolyte from the container for proper operation.

CAUTION

Removal of the container before it is completely empty can shorten the service life of the battery. Do not remove the electrolyte container until it is completely empty and 20 minutes have elapsed.

Property of www.SmallEngineDiscount.com - Not for Resale

17-22 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Battery

Gently remove the container from the battery.

Let the battery sit for 60 minutes prior to charging to allow the electrolyte to permeate into the plates for optimum performance.

NOTE

Charging the battery immediately after filling can shorten service life. Let the battery sit for at least 60 minutes after filling.

Initial Charge

Place the strip [A] of caps loosely over the filler ports.

Newly activated sealed batteries require an initial charge.

Standard Charge 1.2 A × 5

10 hours

If using a recommended battery charger, follow the charger’s instructions for newly activated sealed battery.

Kawasaki-recommended chargers:

Optimate III

Yuasa 1.5 Amp Automatic Charger

Battery Mate 150–9

If the above chargers are not available, use equivalent one.

NOTE

Charging rates will vary depending on how long the battery has been stored, temperature, and the type of charger used. Let battery sit 30 minutes after initial charge, then check voltage using a voltmeter. If it is not at least 12.8 volts, repeat charging cycle.

After charging is completed, press down firmly with both hands to seat the strip of caps [A] into the battery (don’t pound or hammer). When properly installed, the strip of the caps will be level with the top of the battery.

CAUTION

Once the strip of the caps [A] is installed onto the battery, never remove the caps, nor add water or electrolyte to the battery.

NOTE

To ensure maximum battery life and customer satisfaction, it is recommended the battery be load tested at three times its amp-hour rating for 15 seconds.

Re-check voltage and if less than 12.8 volts repeat the charging cycle and load test. If still below 12.8 volts the battery is defective.

Precautions

1) No need of topping-up

No topping-up is necessary in this battery until it ends its life under normal use. Forcibly prying off the sealing plug to add water is very dangerous. Never do that.

2) Refreshing charge

Property of www.SmallEngineDiscount.com - Not for Resale

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 17-23

Battery

If an engine will not start, a horn sounds weak, or lamps are dim, it indicates the battery has been discharged. Give refresh charge for 5 to 10 hours with charge current shown in the specification

(see Refreshing Charge).

When a fast charge is inevitably required, do it following precisely the maximum charge current and time conditions indicated on the battery.

CAUTION

This battery is designed to sustain no unusual deterioration if refresh-charged according to the method specified above. However, the battery’s performance may be reduced noticeably if charged under conditions other than given above.

Never remove the seal caps during refresh charge.

If by chance an excessive amount of gas is generated due to overcharging, the safety valve operates to keep the battery safe.

3) When you do not use the motorcycle for months

Give a refresh charge before you store the motorcycle and store it with the negative lead removed. Give a refresh charge once a month during storage.

4) Battery life

If the battery will not start the engine even after several refresh charges, the battery has exceeded its useful life. Replace it. (Provided, however, the vehicle’s starting system has no problem.)

WARNING

Keep the battery away from sparks and open flames during charging, since the battery gives off an explosive gas mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. When using a battery charger, connect the battery to the charger before turning on the charger. This procedure prevents sparks at the battery terminals which could ignite any battery gases.

No fire should be drawn near the battery, or no terminals should have the tightening loosened.

The electrolyte contains sulfuric acid. Be careful not to have it touch your skin or eyes. If touched, wash it off with liberal amount of water. Get medical attention if severe.

Interchange

A sealed battery can fully display its performance only when combined with a proper vehicle electrical system. Therefore, replace a sealed battery only on a vehicle which was originally equipped with a sealed battery.

Be careful, if a sealed battery is installed on a vehicle which had an ordinary battery as original equipment, the sealed battery’s life will be shortened.

If the regulator/rectifier output voltage is between the values given in the table, the charging system is working normally.

If the output voltage is much higher than the values specified in the table, the regulator/rectifier is defective or the regulator/rectifier leads are loose or open.

If the battery voltage does not increase as the engine speed increases, then the regulator/rectifier is defective or the alternator output is insufficient for the loads. Check the alternator and regulator/rectifier to determine which part is defective.

Property of www.SmallEngineDiscount.com - Not for Resale

17-30 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Charging System

Alternator Inspection

There are three types of alternator failures: short, open, or loss in rotor magnetism. A short or open in one of the coil wires will result in either a low output, or no output at all. A loss in rotor magnetism, which may be caused by dropping or hitting the alternator, by leaving it near an electromagnetic field, or just by aging, will result in low output.

To check the alternator output voltage, perform the following procedures.

Disconnect the alternator connector [A].

Connect a hand tester [B] as shown in the table.

Start the engine.

Run it at the rpm given in the table.

Note the voltage readings (total 3 measurements).

If the output voltage is within the values in the table, the alternator is operating correctly, and the regulator/rectifier is damaged. A much lower reading indicates that the alternator is defective.

Check the stator coil resistance as follows:

Stop the engine.

Disconnect the alternator connector.

Connect a hand tester as shown in the table.

If there is more resistance than shown in the table, or no reading (infinity) for any two leads, the stator has an open and must be replaced. Much less resistance means the stator is shorted and must be replaced.

Using the highest resistance range of the hand tester, measure the resistance between each of the black leads and chassis ground.

Any reading less than infinity (

∞) indicates a short, necessitating stator replacement.

If the stator coils have normal resistance, but the voltage check shows the alternator to be defective; then the rotor magnetism has probably weakened, and the rotor must be replaced.

The resistance should be low in one direction and more than ten times as much in the other direction. If any two leads are low or high in both directions, the rectifier is defective and must be replaced.

NOTE

The actual meter reading varies with the meter and the individual rectifier. Generally speaking the lower reading should be from zero to one half of the scale.

Regulator Circuit Check

To test the regulator out of circuit, use three 12 V batteries and a test light (12 V 3

6 W bulb in a socket with leads).

CAUTION

The test light works as an indicator and also a current limiter to protect the regulator/rectifier from excessive current. Do not use an ammeter instead of a test light.

Check to be sure the rectifier circuit is correct before continuing.

Regulator Circuit Test-1st Step

Connect the test light [A] and the 12 V battery [B] to the regulator/rectifier [C] as shown.

Check Y1, Y2, and Y3 terminal respectively.

If the test light turns on, the regulator/rectifier is defective.

If the test light does not turn on, continue the test.

Connect the test light and a 12 V battery in the same manner as specified in the "Regulator Circuit Test-1st Step".

Apply 12 V to the BR terminal.

Check Y1, Y2, and Y3 terminals.

If the test light turns on, the regulator/rectifier is defective.

If the test light does not turn on, continue the test.

Regulator Circuit Test-3rd Step

Connect the test light and a 12 V battery in the same manner as specified in the "Regulator Circuit Test-1st Step".

Momentarily apply 24 V to the BR terminal by adding a 12

V battery.

Check Y1, Y2, and Y3 terminals.

CAUTION

Do not apply more than 24 V to the regulator/rectifier. Do not leave the 24 V applied for more than a few seconds, or the unit will be damaged.

If the test light did not light when the 24 V was applied momentarily to the BR terminal, the regulator/rectifier is defective.

If the regulator/rectifier passes all of the tests described, it may still be defective. If the charging system still does not work properly after checking all of the components and the battery, test the regulator/rectifier by replacing it with a known good unit.

Ignition Coil Inspection

Remove the ignition coil.

Measure the arcing distance with a coil tester [A] to check the condition of the ignition coil [B].

Connect the ignition coil (with the spark plug cap left attached at the end of the spark plug lead) to the tester in the manner prescribed by the manufacturer and measure the arcing distance.

Ignition Coil Arcing Distance

7 mm (0.28 in.) or more

WARNING

To avoid extremely high voltage shocks, do not touch the ignition coil body or leads.

If the distance reading is less than the specified value, the ignition coil or spark plug cap is defective.

To determine which part is defective, measure the arcing distance again with the spark plug cap removed from the ignition coil. Remove the cap by turning it counterclockwise.

If the arcing distance is as before, the trouble is with the ignition coil. If the arcing distance is normal, the trouble is with the spark plug cap.

If a coil tester is not available, the coil can be checked for a broken or badly shorted winding with a hand tester.

Special Tool - Hand Tester: 57001-1394

NOTE

The hand tester cannot detect layer shorts and shorts resulting from insulation breakdown under high voltage.

Measure the primary winding resistance [A] as follows:

Connect the tester between the coil terminals.

Set the tester to the × 1

Ω range.

Measure the secondary winding resistance [B] as follows:

Remove the plug cap by turning it counterclockwise.

Connect the tester between the spark plug lead and terminal.
