1-2 GENERAL INFORMATION

Before Servicing

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

Kawasaki Diagnostic System (KDS) Software

KDS software that runs on Windows personal computer (PC) will be available as a diagnostic tool for watercraft with Kawasaki DFI system.

You need the following items to use the KDS.

Item

KDS Software Version 2.

(CD-ROM, Updated Version)

Signal Converter

Communication Cable and Cable Adapter

KDS Adapter Cable

P/No.

57001-1503

57001-1504

57001-1470

57001-1696

The connectors for the communication cable and KDS adapter cable are located in the front.

Connect the communication cable to the KDS connector (4-pin) [A] and the KDS adapter cable between the ignition switch (immobilizer amplifier) lead connectors (6-pin) [B].

Adjustments

Adjustments shall be made in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart or whenever troubleshooting or presence of symptoms indicate that adjustments may be required. Whenever running of the engine is required during maintenance it is best to have the watercraft in water.

CAUTION

Do not run the engine without cooling water supply for more than 15 seconds, especially in high revolutionary speed or severe engine and exhaust system damage will occur.

Auxiliary Cooling

An auxiliary cooling supply may be used if the watercraft cannot be operated in water during adjustments. If possible, always operate the watercraft in water rather than use an auxiliary cooling supply.

Before Servicing

Obtain a standard garden hose [A] and a garden hose adapter [B] as shown.

C: Garden Hose Fitting of Adapter

D: Flushing Fitting of Adapter

E: Thread: Rp 3/4

Optional part (P/No. 92005-3746) is available as a garden hose adapter.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3

Open the front storage compartment cover.

Remove the flushing cap [A] on the brim of the storage compartment.

Screw a garden hose adapter [A] onto the flushing fitting

[B].

Attach a garden hose [C] to a garden hose adapter and secure the hose clamp [D].

Attach the garden hose to a faucet. Do not turn on the water until the engine is running and turn it off immediately when the engine stops. The engine requires 2.4 L/min (2.5 qts/min) at 1 800 rpm and 7.0 L/min (7.4 qts/min) at 6 000 rpm.

CAUTION

Insufficient cooling supply will cause the engine and/or exhaust system to overheat and severe damage will occur. Excessive cooling supply may kill the engine and flood the cylinders, causing hydraulic lock. Hydraulic lock will cause severe damage to the engine. If the engine dies while using an auxiliary cooling supply, the water must be shut off immediately.

CAUTION

Always turn the boat on its left side. Rolling to the right side can cause water in the exhaust system to run into the engine, with possible engine damage.

1-4 GENERAL INFORMATION

Before Servicing

CAUTION

Turn the capsized boat clockwise so that the port side always faces downward. Turning counterclockwise can cause water in the exhaust system to run into the engine, with possible engine damage.

Battery Ground

Before completing any service on the watercraft, 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.

Before Servicing

Cleaning Watercraft before Disassembly

Clean the watercraft thoroughly before disassembly. Dirt or other foreign materials entering into sealed areas during watercraft disassembly can cause excessive wear and decrease performance of the watercraft.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-5

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.

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.

1-6 GENERAL INFORMATION

Before Servicing

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.

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.

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

Before Servicing

Liquid Gasket, Locking Agent

For applications that require Liquid Gasket or a 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-7

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.

Ball 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.

1-8 GENERAL INFORMATION

Before Servicing

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.

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 (counter-clockwise viewed from stern sinde).

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.

Before Servicing

Harness Connector

Apply grease [A] on all connectors of harness [B] for water resistance. Do not apply grease on the only connector of inlet air pressure sensor.

Throttle Control System Inspection

Inspect the throttle lever free play [A].

If the free play is incorrect, adjust the throttle cable.

Throttle Lever Free Play

Standard: about 2 mm (0.08 in.)

Check that the throttle lever 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, cable adjustments, 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 increase, check the throttle cable adjustment and the cable routing.

Remove the seats (see Seat Removal in the Hull/Engine

Hood chapter).

Check throttle cable adjustment.

With the throttle lever released, the upper stop [A] on the throttle pivot arm [B] should rest against the stopper [C] on the throttle body, and there should be slight slack in the throttle cable.

When the throttle lever is fully applied (pulled), the lower stop [D] on the pivot arm should be all the way up against the stopper on the throttle body.

If necessary, adjust the throttle cable.

Loosen and turn the locknuts [A] at the bracket until the upper stop on the pivot arm hits against the stopper on the throttle body with slight cable slack.

Tighten the locknuts securely.

Torque - Throttle Cable Locknuts: 20 N·m (2.0 kgf·m, 14 ft·lb)

NOTE

Make sure that the throttle pivot arm stops against the stopper on the throttle body with the throttle lever released.

JT1500B8F Model [C]

Check the belt tension with the special tool.

Special Tool - Belt Measuring Gauge: 57001-1697

If the gauge indicator is without the area of recess, readjust the belt tension from the first procedure.

Lastly, disconnect the primary ignition coil lead connectors and crank the engine for 5 seconds.

Recheck the belt tension.

Visually inspect the belt [A] for wear and damage.

If the nylon fabric facing of any portion is worn off, and the polyurethane compound is exposed, or belt is damaged, replace the belt with a new one.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-15

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

If the belt teeth [A] are wear, replace the belt with a new one (see Engine Removal in the Engine Removal/Installation chapter).

Whenever the belt is replaced, inspect the engine and supercharger pulleys (see Engine Removal in the Engine

Removal/Installation chapter).

Supercharger Gear Oil Level Inspection

Remove the seat (see Seat Removal in the Hull/Engine

Hood chapter).

Remove the handrail plate (see Handrail Plate Removal in the Hull/Engine Hood chapter).

Unscrew the exhaust tube clamp.

Remove the exhaust pipe and muffler body as a set (see

Exhaust Pipe and Muffler Body Removal in the Exhaust

System).

Whenever checking the supercharger gear oil level, keep the watercraft level side to side and fore to aft as much as possible.

Level Ground [A]

Side Bumper [B]

Parallel [C]

Unscrew the oil level gauge [A].

Remove the oil level gauge, wipe it dry and insert it back to the supercharger.

Fully, screw in the oil level gauge into the supercharger.

Remove the oil level gauge agail to check the oil level.

The oil level must be between the High [A] and Low [B] level on the level gauge.

If the oil level is too high, remove the excess oil using a syring or some other suitable device.

If the oil level is too low, add the oil to the low level line thought the oil opening.

Supercharger Gear Oil:

Syntheso HT68 (NOK Kruber Brand)

2-16 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

Fuel Vent Check Valve Inspection

The fuel vent check valve is mounted in the fuel tank vent hose to prevent fuel from spilling during riding. Air can flow into the tank to allow fuel to be drawn out by the fuel pump, but fuel cannot flow out the check valve.

Remove the seats (see Seat Removal in the Hull/Engine

Hood chapter).

Cut off the bands [A].

Pull out each end of the fuel vent check valve [B] from the vent hoses [C].

Blow through the fuel vent check valve from each end.

If the check valve will allow air to flow as shown, it is OK.

If air will flow through the check valve in both direction or in neither direction, the check valve must be replaced.

The fuel vent check valve [C] must be mounted so that the arrow [D] on its case is pointing toward the fuel tank.

Fuel Pump Screen Cleaning

Remove the fuel pump (see Fuel Pump Removal in the

Fuel System chapter).

Wash the fuel pump screen [A] in non-flammable of high

-flash point solvent. Use a brush to remove any contaminants trapped in the screens.

WARNING

DFI Servicing Precautions

There are a number of important precautions that should be followed servicing the DFI system.

This DFI system is designed to be used with a 12 V sealed battery as its power source. Do not use any other battery except for a 12 V sealed battery as a power source.

Do not reverse the battery cable connections. This will damage the ECU.

To prevent damage to the DFI parts, do not disconnect the battery cables or any other electrical connections when the ignition switch is on, or while the engine is running.

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

When charging, remove the battery from the vehicle. This is to prevent ECU damage by excessive voltage.

Whenever the DFI electrical connections are to be disconnected, first turn off the ignition switch. Conversely, make sure that all the DFI electrical connections are firmly reconnected before starting the engine.

Do not turn the ignition switch ON while any of the DFI electrical connectors are disconnected. The ECU memorizes service codes.

If a transceiver is installed on the vehicle, make sure that the operation of the DFI system is not influenced by electric wave radiated from the antenna. Check operation of the system with the engine at idle. Locate the antenna as far as possible away from the ECU.

When any fuel hose is disconnected, do not turn on the ignition switch. Otherwise, the fuel pump will operate and fuel will spout from the fuel hose.

Do not operate the fuel pump if the pump is completely dry. This is to prevent pump seizure.

Before removing the fuel system parts, blow the outer surfaces of these parts clean with compressed air.

When any fuel hose is disconnected, fuel may spout out by residual pressure in the fuel line. Cover the hose joint with a piece of clean cloth to prevent fuel spillage.

When installing the fuel hoses, avoid sharp bending, kinking, flattening or twisting, and route the fuel hoses with a minimum of bending so that the fuel flow will not be obstructed.

Route the hoses according to Cable, Wire, and Hose

Routing section in the Appendix chapter.

The high pressure inside the fuel line can cause fuel to leak [A] or the hose to burst. Bend and twist the fuel hose while examining it.

Replace the hose if any cracks [B] or bulges [C] are noticed.

FUEL SYSTEM (DFI) 3-19

3-20 FUEL SYSTEM (DFI)

DFI Servicing Precautions

When checking the DFI parts, do not run the engine for

15 seconds or more without auxiliary cooling (see General

Information chapter).

CAUTION

If running the engine without the auxiliary cooling for 15 seconds or more (even at idle speed), the rubber component relative to the Exhaust System may be damaged.

Execute the auxiliary cooling securely in case that frequent engine running is required.

When checking the DFI parts, use a digital meter which can be read two decimal place voltage or resistance.

The DFI part connectors have seals, including the ECU.

When measuring the input or output voltage with the connector joined, use the needle adapter set. Insert the needle adapter inside the seal until the needle adapter reaches the terminal.

Digital Meter [A]

Special Tool - Needle Adapter Set: 57001-1457

CAUTION

Insert the needle adapter straight along the terminal in the connector to prevent short-circuit between terminals.

After measurement, remove the needle adapters and apply silicone sealant to the seals [A] of the connector [B] for waterproofing.

Silicone Sealant (Kawasaki Bond: 56019-120) - Seals of Connector

Always check battery condition before replacing the DFI parts. A fully charged battery is a must for conducting accurate tests of the DFI system.

Do not directly connect a 12 V battery to a fuel injector.

Insert a resistor (5

7 Ω) or a bulb (12 V, 3

3.4 W) in series between the battery and the injector.

Self-Diagnosis

Self-diagnosis Outline

The self-diagnosis system has two modes and can be switched to another mode.

[A]

Push the “SET” button with “MODE” button at the same time for 3 seconds or more.

[B] Push either “SET” or “MODE” button for more than one second or more.

User Mode

This is a standard mode and enters automatically after ignition switch ON. The ECU notifies the rider of troubles in DFI system and ignition system by going on LED warning light [A] by flashing, the FI indicator [B] and “FI” character [C] when DFI system and ignition system parts are faulty, and initiates fail-safe function. The buzzer sound goes on. In case of serious troubles ECU stops the injection/ignition/starter motor operation. The buzzer sound can be stopped by pushing either “SET” or “MODE” button.

Dealer Mode

The LCD in the meter unit displays service code character [A] to show the problem(s) which the DFI system and ignition system has at the moment of diagnosis.

To enter the dealer mode push the “SET” button [B] with

“MODE” button [C] for 3 seconds or more.

Read the service code character in the LCD display. Refer to the “Service Code (Character) Table” in the following section.

To return the user mode push either “SET” or “MODE” button for one second or more.

The service code character(s) will not be shown on the

LCD in the meter unit after the problems are solved.

Note:

(1) D-J Method: the DFI control method from medium to heavy engine load. When the engine load is light like at idling or low speed, the ECU determines the injection quantity by calculating from the throttle vacuum (vacuum sensor output voltage) and engine speed (crankshaft sensor output voltage).

(2) α-N Method: As the engine speed increases, and the engine load turns middle to heavy, the ECU determines the injection quantity by calculating from the throttle opening (throttle sensor output voltage) and the engine speed.

(3) If both throttle sensor system and inlet air pressure fails, the ECU locks ignition timing into the ignition timing at closed throttle position and sets the DFI in the α-N method.

(4) The ECU may be involved in these problems. If all the parts and circuits are checked out good, be sure to check the ECU for ground and power supply. If the ground and power supply are checked good, replace the ECU.

Memory of Service Code (Character)

The service codes (characters) in the past are stored in the ECU. However, the characters cannot be displayed in the meter. The past service codes can be confirmed by using the Kawasaki Diagnostic

System (see General Information chapter), and they can be erased.

Engine Oil and Oil Filter

WARNING

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

Oil Level Inspection

This watercraft engine is equipped with a semi-dry sump.

In the semi-dry sump engine, the oil level difference is very large between the level measured after just stopping and that after leaving for a long time.

It is necessary to check the specified amount of oil is in the engine before starting the engine every day. At this time use the cold mark of the level gauge. Then run the engine to lubricate the engine parts sufficiently. After that it is necessary to check the level by using hot mark of the level gauge.

Preliminary Check

Remove the seat (see Hull/Engine Hood chapter).

Whenever checking the engine oil level, keep the watercraft level side to side and fore to aft as much as possible.

Level Ground [A]

Side Bumper [B]

Parallel [C]

Remove the dipstick [A], wipe it dry and insert it back to the dipstick tube, and then remove it again to check the oil level.

The oil level must be between the High [A] and Low [B] level lines on the dipstick [C] (Use level lines when engine is cold).

High Level Line when Cold [A]

Low Level Line when Cold [B]

Dipstick [C]

High Level Line when Hot [D]

Low Level Line when Hot [E]

ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM 4-11

Engine Oil and Oil Filter

CAUTION

Racing the engine before the oil reaches every part can cause engine seizure.

If the engine oil gets extremely low or if the oil pump or oil passages clog up or otherwise do not function properly, the oil pressure warning light will light. If this light stays on when the engine is running above idle speed, stop the engine immediately and find the cause.

If the oil level is too high, remove the excess oil using a syring or some other suitable device.

If the oil level is too low, add the oil to the low level line through the oil filter opening (see Periodic Maintenance chapter). Use the same type and make of oil that is already in the engine.

NOTE

If the engine oil type and make are unknown, use any brand of the specified oil to top off the level in preference to running the engine with the oil level low. Then at your earliest convenience, change the oil completely.

Ordinary (standard) Check

The preliminary is checked before the ordinary check.

Install the removed parts.

Launch the watercraft.

Start the engine for several minutes.

Ride the watercraft and run the engine at about 5 000 rpm for 5 minutes.

Stop the engine and let it cool down for 10 minutes.

Steady the watercraft in calm water to prevent movement, or on the ground, keep the watercraft level side to side and fore to aft as much as possible.

NOTE

Since the trim and list of the watercraft will significantly affect the oil level, be sure that the operator and/or cargo are not aboard the watercraft when measuring the oil level.

Also make the fuel tank [A] full if it is not full as shown to keep the watercraft level.

Fuel Tank Filler Neck [B]

Fuel Full Level [C]

Fuel [D]

This measuring procedure with the watercraft afloat should be followed when the oil level is found low and to be added.

High Level Line when Hot [B]

Low Level Line when Hot [C]

If the oil level is too high, drain the excess oil thoroughly from the dipstick tube [A] using a commercially-available vacuum pump [B].

If the oil level is too low, add the oil to the high level line through the oil filler opening (see Periodic Maintenance chapter). Use the same type and make of oil that is already in the engine.

NOTE

If the engine oil type and make are unknown, use any brand of the specified oil to top off the level in preference to running the engine with the oil level low. Then at your earliest convenience, change the oil completely.

Valves

Seat Cutter Operation Care

1. This valve seat cutter is developed to grind the valve 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.

Marks Stamped on the Cutter

The marks stamped on the back of the cutter [A] represent the following.

Operating Procedures

Clean the seat area carefully.

Coat the seat with machinist’s dye.

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.

Original Seating Surface [B]

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 [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 a vernier caliper 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.

Valves

If the seat width is too wide, make the 60° or 55° [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° or 55° angle until the seat width is within the specified range.

To make the 60° or 55° grind, fit 60° or 55° cutter into the holder, and slide it into the valve guide.

Turn the holder, while pressing down lightly.

After making the 60° or 55° grind, return to the seat width measurement step above.

Correct Width [B]

Lap the valve to the seat, once the seat width and O.D.

are within the ranges specified above.

Put a little coarse grinding compound on the face of the valve in a number of places around the valve head.

Spin the valve against the seat until the grinding compound produces a smooth, matched surface on both the seat and the valve.

Repeat the process with a fine grinding compound.

After Submerging

CAUTION

Do not operate the watercraft with water in the engine.

Do not try to start the engine until it is completely empty of water; internal engine parts could be severely and immediately damaged. If water gets into the engine, follow this procedure immediately! If water is left in the engine more than a few hours, it will destroy the crankshaft bearings and damage other internal engine parts.

If the watercraft becomes swamped, water may enter the engine and the supercharger. Water may also enter the fuel tank.

The following procedures explain the necessary steps you must provide.

Read the summary of the procedure first and then their detailed procedures carefully.

After Submerging

Detailed Procedures after Submerging

1. Ask the operator about the water level in the engine compartment.

2. If the drive shaft is already submerged, drain the water from the drain screws at the stern. Replace the pulley [A] bearing (pulley assembly) and drain water in the supercharger [B] (see Supercharger Disassembly and Assembly in the Fuel (DFI) System chapter).

3. If the water level is below the drive shaft, drain the water from the drain screws and proceed the work in the following manners.

4. Check the drain cap [B] at the bottom of air box [A].

5. If there is water, drain water in the supercharger (see

Supercharger Disassembly and Assembly in the Fuel

(DFI) System chapter) since there is a great possibility that water has entered the supercharger and the engine.

Also, remove the drain plug [A] on the inlet manifold and check that there is water in the inlet manifold. If there is water, drain water in the supercharger (see

Supercharger Disassembly and Assembly in the Fuel

(DFI) System chapter).

6. If there is no water in the air box and inlet manifold, continue the following steps.

7. Disconnect the two connectors [A] on the primary ignition leads located at the right front of the engine

9-20 COOLING AND BILGE SYSTEMS

After Submerging

8. Pull and remove all the spark plug caps.

9. Remove all spark plugs.

10. Insert the ignition switch key, push the lanyard key under the stop button, and push the start button.

11. If there is water in the engine, it will be pumped out from the plug holes, discharge the water. Do not operate the starter for longer than 5 seconds. Wait 15 seconds before using it again.

WARNING

Do not lean over the engine when performing this procedure. A water and gasoline mixture will be forcibly ejected from the spark plug holes and could get into your eyes. If you do get some in your eyes, wash your eyes immediately with liberal amounts of clean, fresh water. Consult a physician as soon as possible.

12. If there is no water coming out of the engine, spray the spark plugs clean with air and then restore them with their plug caps.

13. Reconnect the primary ignition lead connectors.

14. Reconnect the primary ignition coil lead connectors, noting the #1,#4 [A] and the #2, #3 [B] coil connectors. The #1, #4 coil connector has a red/yellow and a green/blue leads from the main harness. The #2,

Precautions

There are a number of important precautions that should be followed servicing electrical systems.

Do not reverse the battery cable connections. This will burn out the diodes on the electrical parts.

Always check battery condition before condemning other parts of an electrical system. A fully charged battery is a must 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 damage to electrical parts, do not disconnect the battery cables or any other electrical connections when the ignition switch is on, or while the engine is running.

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

Do not use a meter illumination bulb rated for other than voltage or wattage specified in the wiring diagram, as the meter or gauge panel 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 the 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 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 leads for signs of burning, fraying, etc. Poor leads and bad connections will affect electrical system operation.

Measure coil and winding resistance when the part is cold

(at room temperature).

Electrical Wiring

Wiring Inspection

Visually inspect the wiring for signs of burning, fraying, etc.

If any wiring is poor, replace the damaged wiring.

Pull each connector [A] apart and inspect it 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, and read the tester.

If the tester does not read 0 Ω, the lead is defective. Replace the lead or the wiring harness [B] if necessary.

Carefully lift the battery from the battery compartment.

Battery

Battery Installation

Be sure the battery damper [A] is in position in the battery compartment.

Hook the battery straps.

Connect the battery cables, positive first.

After attaching both cables, coat the terminals and cable ends with grease to prevent corrosion.

Slide the protective boot over each terminal.

WARNING

Loose battery cables can create sparks which can cause a fire or explosion resulting in injury or death.

Make sure the battery terminal screws are tightened securely and the covers are installed over the terminals.

CAUTION

Do not reverse the battery connections.

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 JT1500B7F: YTX20L-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.

Check to see that there is no peeling, tears or holes in the seal sheet on the top of the battery.

Place the battery on a level surface.

Remove the seal sheet [A].

CAUTION

Do not remove the seal sheet sealing the filler ports

[B] until just before use.

NOTE

A battery whose seal sheet has any peeling, tears, or holes, requires a refreshing charge (initial charge).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 14-19

14-20 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Battery

Take the electrolyte container out of the vinyl bag.

Detach the strip of cap [A] from the container.

NOTE

Do not discard the strip of cap because it is used as the battery plugs later.

Do not peel back or pierce the seals [B] on the container.

Place the electrolyte container upside down aligning the six seals with the six battery filler ports.

Push the container down strongly enough to break the seals. Now the electrolyte should start to flow into the battery.

NOTE

Do not tilt the container as the electrolyte flow may be interrupted.

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 is 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.

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 14-21

Battery

Initial Charge

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

Newly activated sealed batteries require an initial charge.

Standard Charge 1.8 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 12.6 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 12.6 volts repeat the charging cycle and load test. If still below 12.6 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 seal cap to add water is very dangerous. Never do that.

2) Refreshing charge

If an engine will not start, it indicates the battery has been discharged. Give refresh charge for

5 to 10 hours with charge current shown in the specification (see this chapter).

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 cap during refresh charge.

If by chance an excessive amount of gas is generated due to overcharging, the relief valve releases the gas to keep the battery normal.

14-22 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Battery

3) When you do not use the watercraft for months:

Give a refresh charge before you store the watercraft 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 watercraft’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 medial attention if severe.

Interchange

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

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

Charging Condition Inspection

Refer to Battery Charging Condition Inspection in the Periodic Maintenance chapter.

Refreshing Charge

Remove the battery [A] (see Battery Removal).

Refresh-charge by following method according to the battery terminal voltage.

WARNING

This battery is sealed type.

Never remove the strip of cap [B] even at charging. Never add water.

If any of the values obtained does not match with the above table, the regulator/rectifier must be replaced.

Regulator Inspection

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

Do the 1st step regulator circuit test.

Connect the test light and the 12 V battery to the regulator/rectifier as shown.

Check infinity (

) terminals respectively.

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

Replace it.

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

Charging System

Do the 2nd step regulator circuit test.

Connect the test light and the 12 V battery in the same manner as specified in the “1st step regulator circuit test”.

Apply 12 V to the positive (+) terminal.

Check infinity (

) terminals respectively.

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

Replace it.

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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 14-33

Do the 3rd step regulator circuit test.

Connect the test light and the 12 V battery in the same manner as specified in the “1st step regulator circuit test”.

Momentarily apply 24 V to the positive (+) terminal by adding a 12 V battery.

Check infinity (

) terminals respectively.

CAUTION

Do not apply more than 24 volts. If more than 24 volts is applied, the regulator/rectifier may be damaged. Do not apply 24 V more than a few seconds.

If 24 volts is applied for more than a few seconds, the regulator/rectifier may be damaged.

If the test light does not light when 24 V is applied momentarily to the positive (+) terminal, the regulator/rectifier is defective. Replace it.

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

Repeat the test for another regulator/rectifier.

Ignition Coil Inspection

Measuring arcing distance

The most accurate test for determining the condition of

• the ignition coil is made by measuring arcing distance.

Remove the ignition coil (see Ignition Coil Removal).

Connect the ignition coil [A] (with the spark plug cap left installed on the spark plug lead) to the tester [B], and measure the arcing distance.

Auxiliary Wires [C]

WARNING

To avoid extremely high voltage shocks, do not touch the coil or lead.

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

3 Needle Arcing Distance

Standard: 7 mm (0.28 in.) or more

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 14-39

To determine which part is defective, measure the arcing distance again with the spark plug leads removed from the ignition coil (see Ignition Coil Removal).

If the arcing distance is subnormal as before, the trouble is with the ignition coil itself. If the arcing distance is now normal, the trouble is with the spark plug lead.

Measuring coil resistance

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

However, a hand tester can not detect layer shorts and shorts resulting from insulation breakdown under high voltage.

Disconnect the primary leads from the coil terminals.

Measure the primary winding resistance as follows [A].

Connect the tester between the coil terminals.

Set the tester to the × 1 Ω range, and read the tester.

Measure the secondary winding resistance as follows [B].

Remove the spark plug leads (see Ignition Coil Removal).

Connect the tester between the secondary lead terminals.

Set the tester to the × 1 kΩ, and read the tester.

If the hand tester does not read as specified, replace the coil.

Winding Resistance

Standard: Primary windings 1.53

2.07 Ω

Secondary windings 12.50

Immobilizer System

This watercraft is equipped with an immobilizer system to protect the watercraft from theft. This system provides a theft proof device by means of matching a code between the inbuilt key transponder and ECU (Electronic Control Unit). If the code does not match, ignition system, injectors and fuel pump will not operate and the engine will not start.

Abstract

If the LED warning light, immobilizer indicator and the following character blink, and the buzzer sound goes off after the key is pressed, this shows a fault in the immobilizer system.

Err-Immobilizer Communication Trouble

IdA-Immobilizer Amplifier Failure (Service Code: 35)

IdEr-Not Matching Key Code (Service Code: 36)

Refer to the service code or character to identity the faulty component.

If all coded keys (FPO key-full power operation mode: orange-colored and SLO key-smart learning operation mode: yellow-colored and marked SLO) are lost the ECU will have to be replaced.

The immobilizer system can not function until the user key code is registered in the ECU.

A total of six keys can be registered in the ECU at any one time .

Operational Cautions

1. Do not expose the keys to excessively high temperature.

2. Do not place keys close to magnets.

3. Do not place a heavy item on any key.

4. Do not damage the plastic covers.

5. Do not give shocks to the keys.

6. One registered key is needed to have a new key (or keys) registered to ECU.

7. If both registered keys have been lost, renew the ECU.

NOTE

Since the immobilizer system uses the electric wave for communication, key identification error may occur where other electric waves abound.

15-2 STORAGE

Preparation for Storage

During the winter, or whenever the watercraft will not be in use for a long period of time, proper storage is essential.

It consists of checking and replacing missing or worn parts; lubricating parts to ensure that they do not become rusted; and, in general, preparing the watercraft so that when the time comes to use it again, it will be in top condition.

NOTE

Personal watercraft is not meant to be left in the water for extended periods. Continuous exposure to water over a long period of time will cause the hull paint to bubble and peel. It also causes electrolytic erosion of the metal parts of the pump, decreasing its service life.

Larger boats which are left in the water must be hauled out periodically, so the bottom of the hull can be scraped and repainted with anti-fouling paint. They also usually have a sacrificial anode to reduce electrolytic erosion of metal parts in contact with the water.

Cooling System

Clean the cooling system (see Cooling System Flushing in the Periodic Maintenance chapter).

Bilge System

Clean the bilge system (see the Periodic Maintenance chapter). Before reconnecting the hoses to the plastic breather fitting, blow air through both hoses [A] to force all water out of the bilge system.

Engine Oil

Change the engine oil (see Engine Lubrication System in

Periodic Maintenance chapter).

Fuel System

WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. Pull the lanyard key off the stop button. Do not smoke. Make sure the area is well ventilated and free from any source of flame or sparks; this includes any appliance with a pilot light.

Drain the fuel tank. This should be done with a siphon or pump.

[A] Siphon Hose

NOTE

Lift the stern upward a little so that fuel and water in the bottom of the fuel tank may flow toward the fuel filter to completely drain the fuel tank.

Preparation for Storage

Remove the fuel pump (see the Fuel System chapter).

Clean the fuel pump screen [A] (see Fuel System in Periodic Maintenance chapter).

Refill the fuel tank with fresh fuel approximately 10 L (2.6

• gal U.S.).

Turn the ignition switch on.

Push the lanyard key under the stop button, and start the engine and run it in 15 second periods until all fuel in the fuel system is with fresh fuel. Wait 5 minutes between 15 seconds running periods.

CAUTION

Do not run the engine without cooling water supply for more than 15 seconds at a time or severe engine and exhaust system damage will occur.

Pull the lanyard key off the stop button and turn the ignition switch off.

Drain the fuel tank.

Leave the fuel filler cap loose to prevent condensation in the tank.

Engine

Remove the seat (see Seat Removal in the Hull/Engine

Hood chapter).

Disconnect both two connection on the ignition coil primary lead connectors [A].

Spray fogging oil directly into each cylinder.

Turn the ignition switch on.

Push the lanyard key under the stop button. Turn the engine over several times with the start button to coat the cylinder walls with oil.

WARNING

Do not lean over the engine when performing this procedure. An air/oil mist may be forcibly ejected from the spark plug holes and could get into your eyes. If you do get some in your eyes, wash your eyes immediately with liberal amounts of clean, fresh water. Consult a physician as soon as possible.

Pull the lanyard key off the stop button and turn the ignition switch off.

Spray the spark plugs with fogging oil, and reinstall the spark plugs and caps (see Electrical System in Periodic

Maintenance chapter).

Wash the engine compartment with fresh water and remove the drain screw in the stern to drain the water. Wipe up any water left in the compartment.

CAUTION

Use only a mild detergent in water to wash the hull.

Harsh solvents may attack the surface or smear the colors.

Apply a good grade of wax to all exterior hull surfaces.

Lightly spray all exposed metal parts with a penetrating rust inhibitor.

Remove the seat, or block the seat up with 10 mm (0.39

in.) spacers to insure adequate ventilation, and prevent corrosion.

Cover the watercraft and store it in a clean, dry place.

Removal from Storage

Lubrication

Carry out all recommended lubrication procedures (see the Periodic Maintenance chapter).

General Inspection

Check for binding or sticking throttle, steering or shift mechanism. The throttle lever must return fully when released.

Clean and gap spark plugs (see Electrical System in Periodic Maintenance chapter).

Check all rubber hoses for weathering a cracking, or

• looseness.

Check that the drain screw in the stern is securely tightened.

Check the fire extinguisher for a full charge.

Check the battery, charge if necessary, and clean the terminals. Install the battery (see Battery Installation in Electrical System chapter).

Fuel System

Check and clean or replace the fuel pump screens as necessary (see Fuel System in Periodic Maintenance chapter).

WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. Pull the lanyard key off the stop button. Do not smoke. Make sure the area is well ventilated and free from source of flame or spark; this includes any appliance with a pilot light.

After refueling and before starting the engine, tilt the seat to the rear for several minutes to ventilate the engine compartment.

WARNING

A concentration of gasoline fumes in the engine compartment can cause a fire or explosion.

Check for fuel leaks. Repair if necessary.

Check the engine oil level. Fill the oil with the specified oil.

Supercharger

Disconnect both two connection on ignition oil primary lead connectors [A].

Removal from Storage

Remove the belt cover bolts [A] and belt cover [B] (see

Supercharger Drive Belt for Wear/Damage and Belt Tension Inspection in the Periodic Maintenance chapter).

Crank the engine for several times and check that the engine pulley and supercharger pulley rotate with the drive belt.

If the drive belt slips or the supercharger pulley does not rotate, check the following.

Belt Tension (see Supercharger Drive Belt for

Wear/Damage and Belt Tension Inspection in the

Periodic Maintenance chapter).

Supercharger (see Supercharger section in the Periodic

Maintenance chapter).

Test Run

WARNING

Do not run the engine in a closed area. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. Breathing exhaust gas leads to carbon monoxide poisoning, asphyxiation, and death.

Start the engine and run it only for 15 seconds. Check for fuel, oil and exhaust leaks. Any leaks must be repaired.

CAUTION

Do not run the engine without cooling water supply for more than 15 seconds at a time or severe engine and exhaust system damage will occur.

Install the seat making sure it is locked.
