Foreword

This manual is designed primarily for use by

trained mechanics in a properly equipped shop.

However, it contains enough detail and basic in-

formation to m ake it useful to the owner who de-

sires to perform his own basic maintenance and

repair work. A basic knowledge of mechanics,

the proper use of tools, and workshop proce-

dures must be understood in order to carry out

maintenance and repair satisfactorily. When-

ever the owner has insufficient experience or

doubts his ability to do the work, all adjust-

ments, maintenance, and repair should be car-

ried out only by qualified mechanics.

In order to perform the work efficiently and

to avoid costly m istakes, read the text, thor-

oughly familiarize yourself with the procedures

before starting work, and then do the work care-

fully in a clean area. Whenever special tools or

equipment are specified, do not use makeshift

tools or equipment. Precision measurements

can only be made if the proper instruments are

used, and the use of substitute tools may ad-

versely affect safe operation.

For the duration of the warranty period,

we recommend that all repairs and scheduled

maintenance be performed in accordance with

this service manual. Any owner maintenance or

repair procedure not performed in accordance

with this manual may void the warranty.

To get the longest life out of your vehicle.

1-2 GENERAL INFORMATION

Before Servicing

Before starting to perform an inspection service or carry out a disassembly and reassembly opera-

tion on a motorcycle, read the p recautions given below. To facilitate actual operations, notes, illustra-

tions, photographs, cautions, and detailed descriptions have been included in each chapter wherever

necessary. This section explains the items that require particular attention during the removal and

reinstallation or disassembly and reassembly of general parts.

Especially note the following.

Battery Ground

Before completing any service on the motorcycle, discon-

nect the battery cables from the battery to prevent the en-

gine from accidentally turning over. Disconnect the ground

cable (–) first and then the positive (+). When completed

with the service, first connect the positive (+) cable to the

positive (+) terminal of the battery then the negative (–) ca-

ble to the negative terminal.

Edges of Parts

Lift large or heavy parts wearing gloves to prevent injury

from possible sharp edges on the parts.

Solvent

Use a high flash-point solvent when cleaning parts. High

flash-point solvent should be used according to directions

of the solvent manufacturer.

Cleaning Vehicle before Disassembly

Clean the vehicle thoroughly before disassembly. Dirt or

other foreign materials entering into sealed areas during ve-

hicle disassembly can cause excessive wear and decrease

performance of the vehicle.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3

Before Servicing

Arrangement and Clea ning of Removed Parts

Disassembled parts are easy to confuse. Arrange the

parts according to the order the parts were disassembled

and clean the parts in order prior to assembly.

Storage of Remov ed Parts

After all the parts including subassembly parts have been

cleaned, store the parts in a clean area. Put a clean cloth

or plastic sheet over the parts to protect from any foreign

materials that may collect before re-assembly.

Inspection

Reuse of worn or damaged parts may lead to serious ac-

cident. Visually inspect removed parts for corrosion, discol-

oration, or other damage. Refer to the appropriate sections

of this manual for service limits on individual parts. Replace

the parts if any damage has been found or if the part is be-

yond its service limit.

Replacement Parts

Replacement Parts must be KAWASAKI genuine or

recommended by KAWASAKI. Gaskets, O-rings, oil seals,

grease seals, circlips, cotter pins or self-locking nuts must

be replaced with new ones whenever disassembled.

Assembly Order

In most cases assembly order is the reverse of disassem-

bly, however, if assembly order is provided in this Service

Manual, follow the procedures given.

1-4 GENERAL INFORMATION

Before Servicing

Tightening Sequence

Generally, when installing a part with several bolts, nuts,

or screws, start them all in their holes and tighten them to

a snug fit. Then tighten them according to the specified se-

quence to prevent case warpage or deformation which can

lead to malfunction. Conversely when loosening the bolts,

nuts, or screws, first loosen all of them by about a quar-

ter turn and then remove them. If the specified tightening

sequence is not indicated, tighten the fasteners alternating

diagonally.

Tightening Torque

Incorrect torque applied to a bolt, nut, or screw may

lead to serious damage. Tighten fasteners to the specified

torque using a good quality torque wrench. Often, the

tightening sequence is followed twice-initial tightening and

final tightening with torque wrench.

All of the tightening torque values are for use with dry,

solvent - cleaned threads unless otherwise indicated. If a

fastener which should have dry, clean threads gets contami-

nated with lubricant, etc., applying even the specified torque

could damage it.

Force

Use common sense during disassembly and assembly,

excessive force can cause expensive or hard to repair dam-

age. When necessary, remove screws that have a non

-permanent locking agent applied using an impact driver.

Use a plastic-faced mallet whenever tapping is necessary.

Gasket, O-ring

Hardening, shrinkage, or damage of both gaskets and

O-rings after disassembly can reduce sealing performance.

Remove old gaskets and clean the sealing surfaces thor-

oughly so that no gasket material or other material remains.

Install the new gaskets and replace the used O-rings when

re-assembling.

Liquid Gasket, Non-permanent Locking Agent

For applications that require Liquid Gasket or a

Non-permanent Locking Agent, clean the s urfaces so

that no oil residue remains before applying liquid gasket or

non-permanent locking agent. Do not apply them exces-

sively. Excessive application can clog oil passages and

cause serious damage.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-5

Before Servicing

Press

For items such as bearings or oil seals that must be

pressed into place, apply small amount of oil to the con-

tact area. Be sure to maintain proper alignment and use

smooth movements when installing.

Ball Bearing and Needle Bearing

Do not remove pressed ball or needle unless removal is

absolutely necessary. Replace with new ones whenever

removed. Press bearings with the manufacturer and size

marks facing out. Press the bearing into place by putting

pressure on the correct bearing race as shown.

Pressing the incorrect race can cause pressure between

the inner and outer race and result in bearing damage.

Oil Seal, Grease Seal

Do not remove pressed oil or grease seals unless removal

is necessary. Replace w ith new ones whenever removed.

Press new oil seals with manufacture and size marks facing

out. Make sure the seal is aligned properly when installing.

Apply specified grease to the lip of seal before installing

the seal.

Circlips, Cotter Pins

Replace the circlips or cotter pins that were removed with

new ones. Take care not to open the clip excessively when

installing to prevent deformation.

1-6 GENERAL INFORMATION

Before Servicing

Lubrication

It is important to lubricate rotating or sliding parts during

assembly to minimize wear during initial operation. Lubri-

cation points are called out throughout this manual, apply

the specific oil or grease as specified.

Direction of Engine Rotation

When rotating the crankshaft by hand, the free play

amount of rotating direction will affect the adjustment. Ro-

tate the crankshaft to positive direction (clockwise viewed

from output side).

Electrical Leads

A two-color lead is identified first by the primary color and

then the stripe color. Unless instructed otherwise, electrical

leads must be connected to those o f the same color.

Instrument

Use a meter that has enough accuracy for an accurate

measurement. Read the manufacture’s instructions thor-

oughly before using the meter. Incorrect values may lead

to improper adjustments.
