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 sp e-
cial tools described in the Service Manual.
Keep this Owner's Manual aboard your motorcycle at all times so that you can re-
fer to it whenever you need information.
Black plate (8,1)
This manual should be considered a permanent part of the motorcycle and
should remain with the motorcycle when it is sold.

LOADING AND ACCESSORIES INFORMATION
WARNING
Incorrect loading, improper in-
stallation or use of accessories,
or modification of your motor-
cycle may result in an unsafe rid-
ing condition. Before you ride the
motorcycle, make sure that the
motorcycle is not over loaded and
that you have followed these in-
structions.
With the exception of genuine Kawa-
saki Parts and Accessories, Kawasaki
has no control over the design or appli-
cation of accessories. In some cases,
improper installation or use of acces-
sories, or motorcycle modification, will
void the motorcycle warranty, can neg-
atively affect performance, and can
even be illegal. In selecting and using
accessories, and in loading the motor-
cycle, you are personally responsible
for your own safety and the safety of
other persons involved.
NOTE

strongly recommend that all parts
and accessories you add to your mo-
torcycle be genuine Kawasaki com-
ponents.
Because a motorcycle is sensitive to
changes in weight and aerodynamic
forces, you must take extreme care in
carrying cargo, passengers and/or in
fitting additional accessories. The fol-
