1-2 GENERAL INFORMATION

Before Servicing

Before starting to service a motorcycle. careful reading of the applicable section is recommended to eliminate
unnecessary work. Photographs. diagrams. notes. cautions. warnings. and detailed descriptions have been
included wherever necessary. Nevertheless. even a detailed account has limitations, a certain amount of basic
knowledge is also required for successful work.

Especially note the following:

(1} Dirt
Before removal and disassembly, clean the motorcycle. Any dirt entering the engine or other parts will
work as an abrasive and shorten the life of the motorcycle. For the same reason, before installing a new
part, clean off any dust or metal filings.
(2) Battery Ground
Remove the ground ( -) lead from the battery before performing any disassembly operations on the
motorcycle. This prevents:
(a) the possibility of accidentally turning the engine over while partially disassembled.
(b) sparks at electrical connections which will occur when they are disconnected.
(c) damage to electrical parts.
(3) 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 evenly in a cross pattern. This is to avoid distortion of the
part and/or causing gas or oil leakage. Conversely when loosening the bolts, nuts, or screws, first loosen
all of them by about a quarter of turn and then remove them. Where there is a tightening sequence
indication in this Service Manual, the bolts, nuts, or screws must be tightened in the order and method
indicated.
(4) Torque
When torque values are given in this Service Manual, use them. Either too little or too much torque may
lead to serious damage. Use a good quality , reliable torque wrench.
(5) Force
Common sense should dictate how much force is necessary in assembly and disassembly. If a part seems
especially difficult to remove or install, stop and examine what may be causing the problem. Whenever
tapping is necessary, tap lightly using a wooden or plastic-faced mallet. Use an impact driver for screws
(particularly for the removal of screws held bya locking agent) in order to avoid damaging the screw heads.
(6) Edges
Watch for sharp edges, especially during major engine disassembly and assembly. Protect your hands
with gloves or a piece of thick cloth when lifting the engine or turning it over.
(7) High-Flash Point Solvent
A high-flash point solvent is recommended to reduce fire danger. A commercial solvent commonly
available in North America is Standard solvent (generic name) .Always follow manufacturer and container
directions regarding the use of any solvent.
(8) Gasket, O-Ring
Do not reuse a gasket or O-ring once it has been in service. The mating surfaces around the gasket
should be free of foreign matter and perfectly smooth to avoid oil or compression leaks.
(9) Liquid Gasket, Non-Permanent Locking Agent
Follow manufacturer's directions for cleaning and preparing surfaces where these compounds will be
used. Apply sparingly. Excessive amounts may block engine oil passages and cause serious damage. An
example of a non-permanent locking agent commonly available in North America is Locktite Lock'n Seal
(Blue).
(10) Press
A part installed using a press or driver, such as a wheel bearing, should first be coated with oil on its outer
or inner circumference so that it will go into place smoothly.
(11) Ball Bearing
When installing a ball bearing, the bearing race which is affected by friction should be pushed by a
suitable driver. This prevents severe stress on the balls and races, and prevents races and balls from being
dented. Press a ball bearing until it stops at the stop in the hole or on the shaft.
Downloaded from http://nothickmanuals.info
 GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3
(12) Oil Seal and Grease Seal
Replace any oil or grease seals that were removed with new ones, as removal generally damages seals.
When pressing in a seal which has manufacturer's marks, press it in with the marks facing out. Seals
should be pressed into place using a suitable driver, which contacts evenly with the side of seal, until the
face of the seal is even with the end of the hole.
(13) Seal Guide
A seal guide is required for certain oil or grease seals during installation to avoid damage to the seal lips.
Before a shaft passes through a seal, apply a little high temperature grease on the lips to reduce rubber to
metal friction.
(14) Circlip, Retaining Ring
Replace any circlips and retaining rings that were removed with new ones, as removal weakens and
deforms them. When installing circlips and retaining rings, take care to compress or expand them only
enough to install them and no more.
(15) Cotter Pin
Replace any cotter pins that were removed with new ones, as removal deforms and breaks them.
(16) Lubrication
Engine wear is generally at its maximum while the engine is warming up and before all the rubbing
surfaces have an adequate lubricative film. During assembly, oil or grease (whichever is more suitable)
should be applied to any rubbing surface which has lost its lubricative film. Old grease and dirty oil should
be cleaned off. Deteriorated grease has lost its lubricative quality and may contain abrasive foreign particles.
Don't use just any oil or grease. Some oils and greases in particular should be used only in certain
applications and may be harmful if used in an application for which they are not intended. This manual
makes reference to molybdenum disulfide grease ( MOS2 ) in the assembly of certain engine and chassis
parts. Always check manufacturer recommendations before using such special lubricants.
(17) Electrical Wires
All the electrical wires are either single-color or two-color and, with only a few exceptions, must be
connected to wires of the same color. On any of the two-color wires there is a greater amount of one color
and a lesser amount of a second color, so a two-color wire is identified by first the primary color and then
the secondary color. For example, a yellow wire with thin red stripes is referred to as a "yellow/red" wire;
it would be a "red/yellow" wire if the colors were reversed to make red the main color.~

(18) Replacement Parts

When there is a replacement instruction, replace these parts with new ones every time they are removed.
These replacement parts will be damaged or lose their original function once removed.
(19) Inspection
When parts have been disassembled, visually inspect these parts for the following conditions or other
damage. If there is any doubt as to the condition of them, replace them with new ones.
Abrasion Crack Hardening Warp
Bent Dent Scratch Wear
Color change Deterioration Seizure
(20) Specifications
Specification terms are defined as follows.
"Standards" show dimensions or performances which brand-new parts or systems have.
"Service Limits" indicate the usable limits. If the measurement shows excessive wear or deteriorated
performance, replace the damaged parts.

Brake Fluid Requirement:
Brake Fluid Recommended fluids are given in the table below. If
none of the recommended brake fluids are available, use
extra heavy-duty brake fluid only from a container marked

In accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart,
inspect the brake fluid level in the front and rear brake fluid Recommended Disc Brake Fluid
reservoir.
.Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.

NOTE
0 Hold the reservoir horizontal when checking brake fluid
level.

*The fluid level must be kept above the lower level lines.
If the fluid level is lower than the lower level line, fill the
reservoir to the upper level line of the reservoir.

Changing Brake Fluid:

.Remove the rubber cap on the bleed valve.
.Attach a clear plastic hose to the bleed valve on the
caliper, and run the other end of the hose into a
container.
.Open the bleed valve (counterclockwise to open), and
pump the brake lever or pedal until all the fluid is drained
from the line.
.Close the bleed valve.
.Remove the reservoir cap.
.Fill the reservoir with fresh brake fluid.
.Install the reservoir cap.
.Open the bleed valve, apply the brake by the brake lever
or pedal, close the valve with the brake held applied, and
then quickly release the lever or pedal. Repeat this
operation until the brake line is filled and fluid starts
coming out of the plastic hose.

NOTE
OReplenish the fluid in the reservoir as often as necessary
to keep it from running completely out.

.Bleed the air from the lines ( continue with Bleeding the
Brake).

Brake Fluid Change

In accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart,
change the brake fluid. The brake fluid should also be
changed if it becomes contaminated with dirt or water.

Downloaded from http://nothickmanuals.info

11 -6 B RAKES

Bleeding the Brake Line

The brake fluid has a very low compression coefficient
so that almost all the movement of the brake lever or pedal
is transmitted directly to the caliper for braking action. Air,
however, is easily compressed. When air enters the brake
lines, brake Jever or pedal movement will be partially used
in compressing the air. This will make the lever or pedal
feel spongly, and there will be a loss in braking power.
.Bleed the air from the brake whenever brake lever or
pedal action feels soft or spongy, after the brake fluid is
changed, or whenever a brake line fitting has been
loosened for any reason.
.Check that there is plenty of fluid in the reservoir.
0 The fluid level must be checked several times during the
bleeding operation and replenished as necessary (see
Brake Fluid Change).
*If the fluid in the reservoir runs completely out any time
during bleeding, the bleeding operation must be done
over again from the beginning since air will have entered
the line.
.With the reservoir cap off, slowly pump the brake lever
or pedal several times until no air bubbles can be seen

cleaning these parts. Gasoline, engine oil, or any
other petroleum distillate will cause deterioration of
the rubber parts. Oil spilled on any part will be
difficult to wash off completely and will eventually
deteriorate the rubber used in the disc brake.
7. When handling the disc pads or disc, be careful that
no disc brake fluid or any oil gets on them. Clean

observe all the rules below.

with a hammer, or allowed to fall on a hard surface.
W White
Such a shock to the parts can damage them.
Y Yellow
OTo prevent damage to electrical parts, do not disconnect
the battery leads or any other electrical connections
when the ignition switch is on, or while the engine is
running.
O Because of the large amount of current, never keep the
starter switch pushed when the starter motor will not
turn over, or the current may burn out the starter motor
windings.
0 Do not use a meter illumination bulb rated for other than
voltage or wattage specified in the wiring diagram, as
the meter or gauge panel could be warped by excessive
heat radiated from the bulb.
OTake care not to short the leads that are directly
connected to the battery positive ( + ) terminal to the
chassis ground.
OTroubles may involve one or in some cases all items.
Never replace a defective part without determining what
CAUSED the failure. If the failure was caused by some
other item or items, they too must be repaired or
replaced, or the new replacement will soon fail again.
O Make sure all connectors in the circuit are clean and
tight and examine wires for signs of burning, fraying,
etc. Poor wires and bad connections will affect electrical
system operation.
0 Measure coil and winding resistance when the part is
cold (at room temperature).

Alternator Inspection
There are three types of alternator failures: short, open
(wire burned out), or loss in rotor magnetism. A short or
open in one of the coil wires will result in either a low
output, or no output at all. A loss in rotor magnetism,
which may be caused by dropping or hitting the alternator,
by leaving it near an electromagnetic field, or just by aging,
will result in low output.
.To check the alternator output voltage, do the following
procedures. Refer to the appropriate chapters and
charging system Wiring Diagram.
Turn off the ignition switch.
Disconnect connector 1.
Connect the hand tester (special tool: 57001-983)

.Motorcycle racing is a very sophisticated sport, subject
to many variables. The following information is
theoretical only, and Kawasaki shall not be liable for any
damages which might arise from alterations utilizing this
information.
.When the motorcycle is operated on public roads, it
must be in its original state in order to ensure safety and
compliance with applicable regulations.

Carburetor:
Sometimes an alteration may be desirable for improved
performance under special conditions when proper
mixture is not obtained after the carburetor has been
properly adjusted, and all parts cleaned and found to be
functioning properly.
If the engine still exhibits symptoms of overly rich or
lean carburetion after all maintenance and adjustments are
correctly performed, the main jet can be replaced with a
smaller or larger one. smaller numbered jet gives a leaner
mixture and larger numbered jet a richer mixture.

Spark Plug:
The spark plug ignites the fuel and air mixture in the
combustion chamber. To do this effectively and at the
proper time, the correct spark plug must be used, and the
spark plug must be kept clean and the gap adjusted.
Tests have shown the plug listed in the "General
Information" chapter to be the best plug for general use.
Since spark plug requirements change with the ignition
and carburetion adjustments and with riding conditions,
whether or not a spark plug of the correct heat range is
used should be determined by removing and inspecting
the plug.
