FOREWORD

Congratulations on your purchase of a new Kawasaki motorcycle. Your new mo-

torcycle is the product of Kawasaki's advanced engineering, exhaustive testing,

and continuous striving for superior reliability, safety and performance.

Please read this Owner's Manual carefully before riding so that you will be

thoroughly familiar with the proper operation of your motorcycle's controls, its fea-

tures, capabilities, and limitations. This manual offers many safe riding tips, but its

purpose is not to provide instruction in all the techniques and skills required to ride

a motorcycle safely. Kawasaki strongly recommends that all operators of this ve-

hicle enroll in a motorcycle rider training program to attain awareness of the mental

and physical requirements necessary for safe motorcycle operation.

To ensure a long, trouble-free life for your motorcycle, give it the proper care and

maintenance described in this manual. For those who would like more detailed in-

formation on their Kawasaki Motorcycle, a Service Manual is available for pur-

chase from any authorized Kawasaki motorcycle dealer. The Service Manual

contains detailed disassembly and maintenance information. Those who plan to do

their own work should, of course, be competent mechanics and possess the spe-

cial tools descri bed in the Service Manual.

Black plate (6,1)

Keep this Owner's Manual aboard your motorcycle at all times so that you can re-

fer to it whenever you need information.

This manual should be considered a permanent part of the motorcycle and

should remain with the motorcycle when it is sold.

or written permission.

This publication includes the latest information available at the time of printing.

However, there may be minor differences between the actual product and illustra-

tions and text in this manual.
