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. 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.
PLEASE DO NOT TAMPER WITH NOISE CONTROL SYSTEM
(US MODEL 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.

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 cable (–) first and then the positive (+). When completed with the service, first connect the positive (+) cable to the positive
(+) terminal of the battery then the negative (–) cable 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.
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.
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.
Instrument
Use a meter that has enough accuracy for an accurate measurement. Read the manufacture’s instructions thoroughly before using the meter. Incorrect values may lead to improper adjustments.

Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Fuel System
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.
Throttle Lever Free Play
Standard: 2 ∼ 3 mm (0.08
∼ 0.12 in.)
Throttle Lever Free Play Adjustment
•
Remove the handlebar cover (see Multifunction Meter
Unit Removal in the Electrical System chapter).
•
Slide the rubber cover off the adjuster at the throttle case.
•
Loosen the locknut [A] and turn the throttle cable upper adjuster [B] until the cable has proper amount of play.
•
Tighten the locknut and reinstall the rubber cover.
If the free play cannot be adjusted by using the upper cable adjuster, remove the left side cover (see Left Side
Cover Removal in the Frame chapter) and then use the cable adjusting nuts [A] at the lower end of the throttle cable and make the necessary free play.
Choke Lever Free Play Inspection
•
Check if the choke lever [A] returns properly and if the inner cable slides smoothly.
•
Make sure that the choke lever returns to its released position all the way.
•
To determine the amount of choke cable play at the lever, pull the choke lever to the left until it feels that the operation of lever is tough; the amount of choke lever is equivalent to that of cable play.
•
The proper amount [B] of play ranges about 3 mm (0.12
in.) at the choke lever.
If the free play is not within the specified range, adjust the cable.
Choke Lever Free Play
Standard: about 3 mm (0.12 in.)

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.
Converter Drive Belt Deflection Adjustment
•
Disassemble the driven pulley (see Driven Pulley Disassembly in the 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.

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 67°C (153°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 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 ratio 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.

•
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 Bearing Wear Inspection
○
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.
Camshaft Bearing Clearance ( 18)

Standard: 0.020
∼ 0.062 mm (0.0008
∼ 0.0024 in.)
Service Limit: 0.15 mm (0.0059 in.)
If any clearance exceeds the service limit, measure the diameter of the camshaft journal.
Camshaft Journal Diameter ( 18)

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.
•
Remove the spring and move the weights back and forth.
If the weights do not move easily from the retracted position, replace the KACR unit. Also inspect the exhaust rocker arm for any damage, and replace the rocker arm if necessary.

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.

NOTE
○
Remove all pittings of flaws from 45° ground surface.
○
After grinding with 45° cutter, apply thin coat of machinist’s dye to seating surface. This makes seating surface distinct and 32° and 60° grinding operation easier.
○
When the valve guide is replaced, be sure to grind with
45° cutter for centering and good contact.
If the outside diameter (O.D.) [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
O.D. measurement step above.

If the seat width is too wide, make the 60° [A] grind described below.
If the seat width is within the specified range, lap the valve to the seat as described below.
•
Grind the seat at a 60° angle until the seat width is within the specified range.
○
To make the 60° grind, fit 60° cutter into the holder, and slide it into the valve guide.
○
Turn the holder, while pressing down lightly.
○
After making the 60° grind, return to the seat width measurement step above.

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 Crankcase Disassembly in the
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 lubri-
• cation 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.

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.

Ball and Needle Bearing Replacement
CAUTION
Do not remove the ball or needle bearings unless it is necessary. Removal may damage them.
•
Using a press or puller, remove the ball bearing and/or three needle bearings.
NOTE
○
In the absence of the above mentioned tools, satisfactory results may be obtained by heating the case to approximately 93°C (200°F) max., and tapping the bearing in or out.
CAUTION
Do not heat the case with a torch. This will warp the case. Soak the case in oil and heat the oil.
•
Using a press and the bearing driver set [A], install the new ball bearing until it stops at the bottom of its housing.
○
Three new needle bearings must be pressed into the crankcase so that the end is flush with the end of the hole.
Special Tool - Bearing Driver Set: 57001-1129
Ball and Needle Bearing Wear Inspection
CAUTION
Do not remove the bearings for inspection. Removal may damage them.
•
Check the ball bearings.
○
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.

Wheel Alignment
Toe-in is the difference between the distance of front and the one of rear at the axle height position in the front wheels.
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.

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.
NOTE
○
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.

•
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 gear shim to a thicker one.
•
Temporarily, install the right front axle in the gear case 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.

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.
Front Brake Fluid Recommendation
Use extra heavy-duty brake fluid only from a container marked DOT3 or DOT4.
Recommended Disc Brake Fluid

Front Brake Fluid Level Inspection
•
Refer to the Brake Fluid Level Inspection in the Periodic
Maintenance chapter.
Front Brake Fluid Change
•
Refer to the Brake Fluid Change in the Periodic Maintenance chapter.
Brake Fluid
Front 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.
•
Tighten:
Torque - Bleed Valves: 7.8 N·m (0.80 kgf·m, 69 in·lb)
Reservoir Cap Screws: 1.5 N·m (0.15 kgf·m, 13 in·lb)
•
Apply the brake lever forcefully for a few seconds, and check for fluid leakage around the fittings.

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).

Wiring Inspection
•
Visually inspect the wiring for signs of burning, fraying, etc.
If any wiring is defective, replace the damaged wiring.
•
Pull each connector [A] apart and inspect for corrosion, dirt, and damage.
If the connector is corroded or dirty, clean it carefully. If it
• is damaged, replace it.
Check the wiring for continuity.
○
Use the wiring diagram to find the ends of the lead which is suspected of being a problem.
○
Connect the hand tester between the ends of the leads.
Special Tool - Hand Tester: 57001-1394
○
Set the tester to the ×1 Ω range.
If the tester does not read 0 Ω , the lead is defective. Replace the lead or the wiring harness [B] if necessary.

Battery Activation
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-A/B/C: 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.
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 17-25
•
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.
17-26 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
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 17-27
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.
Charging Condition Inspection
Battery charging condition can be checked by measuring battery terminal voltage.
•
Remove the battery (see Battery Removal).
CAUTION
Be sure to disconnect the negative ( − ) cable first.
•
Measure the battery terminal voltage.
NOTE
○
Measure with a digital voltmeter [A] which can be read to one decimal place voltage.

Special Tool - Hand Tester: 57001-1394
•
Start the engine and note the voltage readings at various engine speeds with the headlight turned on and then off.
The readings should show nearly battery voltage when the engine speed is low, and as the engine speed increases, the readings should also increase.

Turn off the ignition switch, and disconnect the hand tester.
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.
17-34 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Charging System
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.
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.
○
Note the readings (total 3 measurement).

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.

Regulator/Rectifier Inspection
•
Remove:
Connectors [A] (disconnect)
Bolts [B] and Regulator/Rectifier [C]
Rectifier Circuit Check
•
Check conductivity of the following pair of terminals.
Rectifier Circuit Inspection
Tester connection
W-BK1,
BK/Y-BK1,
W-BK2,
BK/Y-BK2,
W-BK3,
BK/Y-BK3,
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.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 17-35

•
Regulator Circuit Test-2nd Step
•
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.
