SAFETY INFORMATION
Read Owner's Manual
Read this Owner’s Manual carefully
before riding so that you will be thor-
oughly familiar with the proper opera-

safely.
Daily Pre-Ride Checks and
Periodic Maintenance
It is important to keep your motor-
cycle properly maintained and in safe
riding condition. Inspect your motor-
cycle before every ride and carry out
all periodic maintenance. See the Daily
Pre-Ride Checks section and the Peri-
odic Maintenance section in the MAIN-
TENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
chapter for more information.
WARNING
Failure to perform these checks
or to correct a problem before op-
eration may result in serious
damage or an accident. Always
perform daily pre-ride checks be-
fore operation.
To ensure your motorcycle is serv-
iced using the latest servicing informa-
tion, it is recommended that an
authorized Kawasaki Dealer performs
the periodic maintenance as directed
in the Owner's Manual.

Carbon Monoxide Hazard
DANGER

Do not smoke. Make sure the
area is well ventilated and free
from any source of flame or
sparks; this includes any appli-
ance with a pilot light.
