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;
operationintheredzonewill
overstress the engine and may
cause serious engine damage.
