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 re liability, safety and performance .
Please read this Owner’s Manual carefully before riding so that you will be
thoroughly familiar with the proper operatio n of your motorcyc le’s controls, its fea-
tures, capabilities, and limitations. T his ma n ua l 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 vehi-
cle enroll in a motorcycle rider training program to a ttain awareness of the m ental

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

remain with the motorcycle when it is sold.
