Tachometer:

The tachometer shows the engine

speed in revolutions per minute (r/min,

rpm). On the right side of the tachome-

zone”. Engine r/min (rpm) in the

red zone is above maximum recom-

mended engine speed and is also

above the range for good performance.

When the ignition key is turned to

“ON”, the tachometer momentarily

goes from the minimum to the maxi-

mum, then goes back from the maxi-

mum to the minimum reading to check

its operation. If the tachometer does

not operate correctly, have it checked

by an authorized Kawasaki dealer.

CAUTION

Engine r/min (rpm) should not

be allowed to enter the red zone;

overstress the engine and may

cause serious engine damage.
