EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION
To protect the environment in which we all live, Kawasaki has incorporated crankcase emission (1) and exhaust emission
(2) control systems in compliance with applicable regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and
California Air Resources Board. Additionally, Kawasaki has incorporated an evaporative emission control system (3) in
compliance with applicable regulations of the California Air Resources Board on vehicles sold in California only.
1. Crankcase Emission Control System
This system eliminates the release of crankcase vapors into the atmosphere. Instead, the vapors are
routed through an oil separator to the intake side of the engine. While the engine is operating, the
vapors are drawn into combustion chamber, where they are burned along with the fuel and air supplied
by the carburetion system.
2. Exhaust Emission Control System
This system reduces the amount of pollutants discharged into the atmosphere by the exhaust of this
motorcycle. The fuel, ignition, and exhaust systems of this motorcycle have been carefully designed
and constructed to ensure an efficient engine with low exhaust pollutant levels.
3. Evaporative Emission Control System
Vapors caused by fuel evaporation in the fuel system are not vented into the atmosphere. Instead,
fuel vapors are routed into the running engine to be burned, or stored in a canister when the engine
is stopped. Liquid fuel is caught by a vapor separator and returned to the fuel tank.
The Clean Air Act, which is the Federal law covering motor vehicle pollution, contains what is commonly referred to as
the Act's "tampering prOvisions.·
·Sec. 203{a) The following acts and the causing thereof are prohibited ...
(3)(A) for any person to remove or render inoperative any device or element of design installed on or
in a motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine In compliance with regulations under this title prior to
its sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser, or for any manufacturer or dealer knowingly to
remove or render inoperative any such device or element of design after such sale and delivery
to the ultimate purchaser.
(3)(8 ) for any person engaged in the business of repairing, servicing , selling, leasing, or trading motor
vehicles or motor vehicle engines, or who operates a fleet of motor vehicles knowingly to remove
or render inoperative any device or element of design installed on or in a motor vehicle or motor
vehicle engine in compliance with regulations under this title follOWing its sale and delivery to the
ultimate purchaser... •
NOTE
o The phrase "remove or render inoperative any device or element of design" has been generally
interpreted as follows:
1. Tampering does not include the temporary removal or rendering inoperative of devices or
elements of design in order to perform maintenance.
2. Tampering could include:
a. Maladjustment of vehicle components such that the emission standards are exceeded.
b. Use of replacement parts or accessories which adversely affect the performance or
durability of the motorcycle.
c. Addition of components or accessories that result in the vehicle exceeding the standards.
d. Permanently removing, disconnecting, or rendering inoperative any component or element
of design of the emission control systems.
WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL DEALERS OBSERVE THESE PROVISIONS OF FEDERAL LAW, THE VIOLATION OF
WHICH IS PUNISHABLE BY CIVIL PENALTIES NOT EXCEEDING $10,000 PER VIOLATION .
TAMPERING WITH NOISE CONTROL SYSTEM PROHIBITED
Federal law prohibits the following acts or the causing thereof: (1) The removal or rendering inoperative by any person
other than for purposes of maintenance, repair, or replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated into any
new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or (2)
the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person.
Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are the acts listed below:
• Replacement of the original exhaust system or muffler with a component not in compliance with Federal
regulations.
• Removal of the muffler(s) or any internal portion of the muffler{s).
• Removal of the air box or air box cover.
• Modifications to the mutfler(s) or air intake system by cutting, drilling, or other means if such modifications
result in increased noise levels.

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 Leads
Remove the ground (- ) lead from the battery before pertorming any disassembly operations on the motorcycle.
When installing, connect the positive (+) lead first, then the negative H lead to the battery. This prevents: (a) the
possibility of accidentally turning the engine over while partially disassembled. (b) sparks at electrical connections
which wilt occur when they are disconnected. (c) damage to electrical parts.
(3) Installation, Assembly
Generally, installation or assembly is the reverse of removal or disassembly. But if this Service Manual has
installation or assembly procedures, follow them. Note parts locations and cable, wire, and hose routing during
removal or disassembly so they can be installed or assembled in the same way. It is preferable to mark and record
the locations and routing as much as possible.
(4) 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 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.
(5) 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.
(6) 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 by a locking agent) in order to avoid damaging the screw heads.
(7) 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.
(8) 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.
(9) Gasket, C-Ring
Do not reuse a gasket or a -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 leakage.
(10) 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 nonpermanent locking agent commonly available in North America is Loctite Lock'n Seal (Blue).
(11) 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.
(12) Ball Bearing and Needle Bearing
Do not remove a ball bearing or a needle bearing unless it is absolutely necessary. Replace any ball or need le
bearings that were removed with new ones, as removal generally damages bearings. Install bearings with the marked
side facing out applying pressure evenly with a suitable driver. Only press on the race that forms the press fit with
the base component to avoid damaging the bearings. This prevents severe stress on the balls or needles and races,
and prevent races and balls or needles from being dented. Press a ball bearing until it stops at the stops in the hole
or on the shaft,
(13) 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. Before a shaft passes through a seal, apply a little high temperature grease on the lips to reduce
rubber to metal friction.
GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3
Before Servicing
(14) Circlip, Retaining Ring, and Coner Pin
Replace any circlips and retaining rings, and cotter pins that were removed with new ones, as removal weakens
and deforms them. When installing circlips and retaining rings, lake care to compress or expand them only enough
to install them and no more.
(15) 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 surlace 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.
Oon' 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 (MoS 2 ) in the assembly of certain engine and chassis parts. Always check manufacturer
recommendations before using such special lubricants.
(16) 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 ident ified 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.

(17) Replacement PariS
When there is a replacement instruction. replace Ihese parts with new ones every time they are removed. These
replacement parts will be damaged or lose their original function once removed.
(18) Inspection

1-8 GENERAL INFORMATION
Technical Information
KLEEN (KAWASAKI LOW EXHAUST EMISSION)
The ZXSOOJ have catalytic converters.
The secondary air injection system [A] helps Kawasaki keep motorcycle exhaust gases below the established emission
regulation limits. This system draws air into the exhaust ports, dilutes and burns harmful ingredients in the exhaust gas
in order to reduce them. This allows the carburetor to be set at a reasonable setting position without adjusting it much
leaner, so engine performance and actual riding performance are not spoiled.
But, under the trend thai the emission regulation becomes more severe, Kawasaki has adopted two catalytic converters
[BJ in addition to the secondary air injection system. Moreover, a BD$R 36-type carburetor has been adopted because
of its good balance between cost and pertormance. As a result, we can reduce the exhaust gas emission below the
current standards without hurting the output performance and the actual riding feeling at all. The harmful ingredients in
the exhaust gas are reduced considerably under running performance of emission regulation like LA4 or EC mode. As
actual examples, carbon monoxide (CO) is reduced about 70% , hydrocarbons (He) about 60%, nitrogen oxides (NOx)
about 10%.
Moreover, in order to improve the reliability of the system , we install fuel cut valves [C] as a catalyst protection system.

1. Exhaust Purification System
The burned gas, which goes out from the combustion chamber, is injected with secondary air (adding necessary oxygen),
and is cleaned up while passing through two small catalytic converters in the joint pipe and the main catalytic converter in
the silencer, and then goes out to the atmosphere.
Secondary A ir Injection System
1) In order to oxidize CO, and He by the catalysts, the proper amount of oxygen is necessary. As original combustion gas
has little remaining oxygen, air is injected in the exhaust ports by the secondary air injection system in order to supply
enough oxygen to the combustion gas to purify CO, and He to a certain extent as well as prepare for activation of the
catalysts. Since the carburetor is set at richer level [A], and airjfuel mixture (NF) is about 11 "" 14, NOx is at lower level
from the beginning as shown in the figure. And, NF becomes lean (about 13.5 ,..., 15) after the combustion chambers
owing to secondary air injection and combustion.

2) Precatalytic Converters [AJ
A small-size three-way catalytic converter (precatalytic converter) is installed in the pipe ahead at the joint [BI of the
silencer. A precatalytic converter is made of a punched metal pipe [C] of stainless steel, and its surface is covered with
alumina upon which platinum and rhodium as catalysts are applied . Generally, the temperature of the exhaust gas must
be higher than the activation temperature, so we set this precatalytic converter at the upper portion of the main catalytic
converter where the temperature of exhaust gas is high. Accordingly, the precatalytic converter will be activated even
under low load conditions. Activation of the precataJytic converter raises the exhaust gas temperature by the catalyst
reaction , which helps the main catalytic converter operate more efficiently. The precatalytic converter purifies CO, HC,
and NOx to a certain extent.
3) Main Catalytic Converters (OJ
The converter is a three-way catalytic converter upon which platinum and rhodium are applied, and has a cylindrical
metallic honeycomb structure IE) made by bending a corrugated sheet and a flat sheet of stainless steel into a spiral of
increasing diameter. The main catalytic converter is installed in the first expansion chamber of the silencer. When the
exhaust gas passes through the upper portion of the secondary air injection system, the precatalytic converter, and the
inside of the honeycomb, the main catalytic converter works efficienlly to reduce CO, HC, and NOx. So, we can keep it
within regulation.
The honeycomb structure is convenient for Ihe catalytic converter because il has a farge surface area bul small size to
react effectively and has low exhaust resistance. In addition, its inherent strength helps resist vibration, and has simple
structure welded directly on the silencer.

2. Catalyst Protection System
When excessive unburned gasoline flows more than the allowable amount into the exhaust gas during running, the
temperature of the catalysts rises abnormally because the unburned gasoline reacts with heated catalysts (at the activation
temperature or higher). In an excessive case, the problem such as melting-down occurs. Moreover, there is a possibility
that the purification performance becomes poorer when it is cool (below the activation temperature). So, the fuel cut valve
[AI as a catalyst protection system is installed on each carburetor float bowl [BJ . It runs by the Ie Igniter and opens and
closes the fuel passage toward a main jet [C). A catalys t protection system works in the following cases.
1) Prevention of unburned gasoline from flowing when overs peed limiter works.
The limiter has fuel cut-off and ignition cut·off operations.
2) Prevention of unburned gasoline from flowing when the engine stop switch is turned off during running.
When the engine stop switch is turned off while coasting the motorcycle, fuel is cut off. For example, fuel is cut off under
the abnormal running condition that you go down the slope with the engine stop switch OFF.
3) Prevention of unburned gasoline from flowing when misfire occurs by a cutoff of a primary coil in a stick coil.
Fuel is cut off when an electric current of a primary coil becomes abnormal because of a cutoff of the primary coil when
the engine is running.
4) Prevention of solenoid valve lock
If a driver always runs the engine under the red zone in the tachometer, the IC igniter doesn't operate overs peed limiter
and the catalyst protection system doesn't have a chance to work. The old fuel may gum up the fuel cut valves which
remain seated in the float bowls. To cope with, the IC igniter test-operates the fuel cut valves when starting the engine
and prevents lock of the valves.
5) Usage of leaded gasoline is prohibited completely.
leaded gasoline harms the purification efficiency of the catalysts.
The performance of the catalyst protection system is summed up as follows.

3. Ma intenance
Special maintenance is not necessary except for the inspection of the air suction valve (which has been described in
this manual).
1) Replacement of Muffler Assy
It is impossible 10 replace only catalytic converters because they are welded in the muffler. So, in the following case,
the replacement of the muffler assy is also necessary.
• In case of using not-appointed fuel (leaded gasoline, etc.):
Purification efficiency decreases in a very short period because lead poisons the catalytic converters. Although the
appearance of the converter and engine performance are not effected, the replacement of a muffler assy is necessary
to secure the purification efficiency of exhaust gas.
• In case catalytic converters melt down by overheating:
Especially in the case that a 101 of unburned gasoline flows into the catalytic converters under the extreme running
condition far beyond common sense, there is a possibility that the catalysis overreact and that catalytic converters
overheat severely. If they melt down, it causes poor engine performance, deterioration of emission noise level, and
purification efficiency. So, the muffler assy must be replaced
2) Durability
It has the same durability as a conventional muffler.
3) Disposal to Waste
As any harmful toxic substance is not used especially, it can be disposed as usual industrial wastes. The body of the
muffler is made of aluminum steel. The catalytic converter is also made of stainless steel which has alumina on its
surface, and the main ingredients of catalysts are platinum and rhodium.
4. Handling Precautions
Catalyst protection system against mishandling is applied to a vehicle with catalysts. But, we prohibit depending on the
system too much when running.
1) Use only unleaded gasoline:
usage of leaded gasoline is prohibited completely. Only fue l and additives which are specified in the Owner's Manual
can be used.
2) Use specified engine oil which is described in the Owner's Manual:
In case of some ingredients which give bad effects to the catalysts (such as phosphorus 'P', lead ' Pb", sulfur'S") are
included, the purification efficiency decreases.
3) Coasting (such as cranking while going down a slope) is prohibited with the ign ition system OFF:
The engine running without ignit ing causes a great flow of unburned gasoline and the decreasing of purification efficiency,
and melting down of catalysts at the activation temperature or higher.
• When the ignition switch [A] is turned off, the fuel cut valves [B] do not work . So, avoid coasting with the ignition switch
OFF.
• Do not run the engine nor coast the motorcycle under the misfire which occurs by defects such as a bad connection
with the spark plug at the secondary wiring of the slick coil [C].
• Do not coast too much WIth the engine stop switch {D] OFF. Under the condition that the engine stop switch is turned
off during running, the IC igniter [E] closes the fuel cut valves to shut off fuel.
• Do not run the engine nor coast the motorcycle too much under the condition that the primary wiring of the stick coil
does not connect completely (misfire). Incomplete connection or cut-off of the primary coil makes the fuel cut valves
start to cut fuel. In this case, from the standpoint to prolect the catalysts, the fue l for all cylinders is cut off even if one
cylinder has been affected.

• Do nol run overs peed limiter too much from the standpoint to protect the engine. (Overs peed limiter has a protection
system thaI applies ignition cui method and fuel cut method together. Conventional system applies fuel-on method.)
• Do not run the engine even jf only one cylinder has a misfire or has unstable running. In this case, request the nearest
service facility to correct it. If you have no choice but running by yourself, keep engine rpm as low as possible and try
to fi nish running at the shortest period.
• When the battery is dead, do nol push-start. Connect another full-charged battery with jumper cables, and start the
engine.

5. Additional Information
1) Secondary Air Injection System
The mechanism is simple and power loss is minimum because the system uses the vacuum pressure created by exhaust
pulses.
The secondary injection air helps the fueVair mixture burn more completely (Primary air means air which flows through
the Inlet pipe). As the exhaust valve opens, and the burned fuel passes the exhaust valve, a stream of fresh air is
introduced through the air suction valve. This fresh air burns the unburned gas and converts the carbon monoxide (CO)
and hydrocarbons (HC) into harmless carbon dioxide (C02) and water (H2O).
CO + 1/2 02 - C02
HC+02-CQ2+H20
The secondary air injection system consists of a vacuum switch valve, and two air suction valves. Without using an air
pump, the air suction valve can draw fresh air into the exhaust passage near the exhaust valves by vacuum that exhaust
pulses generate.
Air Suction Val ves
The air suction valves is a check valve which allows fresh air to flow only from the air cleaner via air hoses into the
exhaust port and prevents return flow, Remove and inspect the air suction valves periodically (see Engine Top End chapter
in this Service Manua l), Also, remove and inspect the air suction valves whenever the idle speed is unstable, engine power
is greatly reduced, or there are abnormal engine noises.
Vacuum Switch Valve
Although the vacuum switch valve usually permits secondary air flow, it closes when a high vacuum (lOW pressure) is
developed at the inlet pipe during engine braking. This is to shul off secondary air flow and prevent explosions in the
exhaust ports which mighl be caused by extra unburned fuel in the exhaust during deceleration. These explosions, or
backfiring in the exhaust system could damage the air suction valves.
Regular inspection of the vacuum switch valve is not needed. If backfiring occurs frequently in the exhaust system
during engine braking or if there are abnormal engine noises, check the vacuum switch valve as described in the text (see
Engine Top End chapter in this Service Manual).

2) Operation of Three-way CatalytiC Converter
The three-way catalysts are used for the catalytic converters and the main catalytic converter. These converters can
clean up carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) at the same time.
CO and HC are oxidized (0 is added) by platinum (Pt) and converted to harmless carbon dioxide gas (CCh) and water
(H 20), and then the exhaust gas is cleaned up:

3) Property of Catalyst
Most catalysts are powders 01 metal or of metallic compounds, and they increase the rate of a chemical reaction.
Catalysts are supposed to act in some way to loosen the bonds of the reacting substances. In other words, they lower
the energy of activation, thus allowing the reaction to proceed more rapidly. To activate catalysts, the temperature of the
exhaust gas must be higher than the activation temperature tha t is 220· ...., 230' C lor new catalysts, and 270' ...., 280 G C
for used catalysts (after 10000 ..... 20000 km ride)

The catalyst itself undergoes no permanenl chemical change, or can be recovered when the chemical reaction IS
completed. So, the muff!er with bullt·in catalyst has the same durability as the conventional muffler.
The mechanism of catalytic action is supposed to be a surface phenomenon in which reactants are absorbed onto a
small portion of the surface of the catalyst. The ca talytic converter is made of stainless steel and the surface is applied by
alumina (aluminum oxide AI20J). The alumina adheres to the stainless sleel wall and the catalyst adheres to the alumina
very well. The alumina surface is not uniform and there are corners, edges, dislocations, and grain boundaries. Catalyst
is applied on the alumina and this makes the catalyst surface rough. The rougher the surface is, the more actively the
catalyst adsorbs the reactants.
If various impurities like lead are adsorbed, they block the small portion of the catalyst surface, preventing absorption 01
CO, HC, and NOx. This is the reason why leaded fuel poisons the catalyst without any break on the surface or generation
of heat.
Catalysts are generally efficient in small quantities. A catalyst can catalyze the reaction of several thousand to a million
times its weight in reactants. The three-way catalyst is a blend of platinum (Pt) and rhodium (Rh) which are expensive.
But a converter uses only about 0.05 gram of Pt and 0.0 1 gram 01 Rh and a main catalytic converter uses only about 0.4
gram 01 Pt and 0.1 gram of Rh.

3-4 COOLING SYSTEM
Coolant Flow Chart
Permanent type antifreeze is used as a coolant to protect the cooling system from rust and corrosion. When the engine
starts, the water pump turns and the coolant circulate s.
The thermostat is a wax pellet type which opens or closes with coolant temperature changes. The thermostat
continuously changes its valve opening to keep the coolant temperature at the proper level. When coolant temperature
is below 58 "" 62°C, the thermostat closes so that the coolant flow is restricted through the air bleeder hole, causing the
engine to warm up more quickly. When coolant temperature is more than 58 ~ 62°C, the thermostat opens and the coolant
flows.
When the coolant temperature goes up beyond 96 '" 100°C, the radiator fan switch conducts to operate the radiator
fan. The radiator fan draws air through the radiator core when there is not sufficient ai r flow such as at low speeds. This
increases up the cooling action of the radiator. When the temperature is above 91 °C , the fan switch opens and the radiator
fan stops.
In this way, this system controls the engine temperature within narrow limits where the engine operates most efficiently
even if the engine load varies.
The system is pressurized by the radiator cap to suppress boiling and the resultant air bubbles which can cause engine
overheating. As the engine warms up, the coolant in the radiator and the water jacket expands. The excess coolant flows
through the radiator cap and hose to the reserve tank to be stored there temporarily. Conversely, as the engine cools
down, the coolant in the radiator and the water jacket contracts, and the stored coolant flows back to the radiator from the
reserve tank.
The radiator cap has two valves. One is a pressure valve which holds the pressure in the system when the engine
is running. When the pressure exceeds 0.95 ..... 1.25 kg/m 2, the pressure valve opens and releases the pressure to the
reserve tank. As soon as pressure escapes, the valve closes, and keeps the pressure at 0.95 ~ 1.25 kg/m 2 . When the
engine cools down, another small valve (vacuum valve) in the cap opens. As the coolan t cools, the coolant contracts to
form a vacuum in the system. The vacuum valve opens and allows the coolant from the reserve tank to enter the radiator.

t t. Aeserver Tank
When the engine is very hoi, the pressure valve in the radiator cap allows air and vapor to escape into the reserve
tank. When the engine cools down, the pressure drop draws the vacuum valve (another small valve) open, admitting
coolant from the reserve tank into the radiator.

3·6 COOLING SYSTEM
Coolant
Coolant Deterioration Inspection
• Visually inspect the coolant in the reserve lank.
* If whitish conon-like wafts are observed, aluminum parts in the cooling
system are corroded. If the coolant is brown, iron or steel parts are
rusting. In either case, flush the cooling system.
If the coolant gives off an abnormal smell, check for a cooling system
leak. II may be caused by e)(haust gas leaking into the cooling
*
system.
Coolant Level Inspection
NOTE
o Check the level when the engine is cold (room or ambient
temperature).
• Check the coolant level in the reserve tank with the motorcycle held
perpendicular,
If the coolan t level is lower than the low level line [AJ, add coolant to
the full level line [6J.
*
CAUTION
For refilling, add the specified mixture of coolant and soft
water. Adding water alone dilutes the coolant and degrades
its anticorrosion properties. The diluted coolant can attack
the aluminum engine parts. In an emergency, soft water alone
can be added. But the diluted coolant must be returned to the
correct mixture ratio within a few days.
If coolant must be added often, or the reservoir tank has
run completely dry, there is probably leakage In the cooling
system. Check the system for leaks.
Coolant Draining
AWARNING
To avoid burns, do not remove the radiator cap or try to change
the coolant when the engine Is still hot. Wait until it cools
down. Coolant on tires will make them slippery and can cause
an accident and Injury. Immediately wipe up or wash away any
coolant that spills on the frame, engine, or other painted parts.
Since coolant Is harmful to the human body, do not use for
drinking.

Valve Clearance Adjustment
• To change the valve clearance, remove the camshaft chain tensioner,
camshafts and valve lifters. Replace the shim with one of a different
thickness.
NOTE
o Mark and record the valve lifter and shim locations so they can be
reinstalled in their o(iginal positions.
o If there is no clearance, select a shim which is several sizes smaller
and then measure the clearance.
• To select a new shim which brings the valve clearance within the
specified range, refer to the Valve Clearance Adjustment Charts.
• Apply a thin coat of molybdenum disulfide grease to the valve lifters.
• Install the camshafts. Be sure to time the camshafts properly {see
Camshaft Installation} .
• Remeasure any valve clearance that was adjusted. Readjust if
necessary.
CAUTION
Do not put sh im stock under the shim. This may cause
the shim to pop out at high rpm, causing extensive engine
damage.
Do not grind the shim. This may cause it to fracture, causing
extensive engine damage.

Seat Cutter Operation Care :
1. This valve seat cutter is developed to grind the valve for repair.
Therefore the cutter must not be used for other purposes than
seat repair.
2. Do not drop or shock the valve seat cutter, or the diamond
particles may fall off.
3. Do not fai l to apply engine oil to the valve seat cutter before
grinding the seat surtace. Also wash off ground particles sticking
to the cutter with washing oil.
NOTE
o Do not
use a wire brush to remove the metal particles from the
cutter. It will take off the diamond particles.
4. Setting the valve seat cutter holder in position, operate the cutter
in one hand. Do not apply too much force to the diamond portion,
NOTE
o Prior
to grinding, apply engine oil to the cutter and during the
operation, wash off any ground particles sticking to the cutter with
washing oil.
5. After use, wash it with washing oil and apply thin layer of engine
oil before sloring.
Marks Stamped on the Cutter:

Operating Procedures:
• Clean the seat area carefully.
• Coat the seat with machinist's dye.
• Fit a 45° cutter into the holder and slide it into the valve guide.
• Press down lightly on the handle and turn it right or left. Grind the
seating surface only until it is smooth.
CAUTION
00 not grind the seat too much. Overgrinding will reduce
va lve clearance by sinking the valve into the head. If the valve
sinks too far into the head , it will be impossible to adjust the
clearance , and the cylinder head must be replaced.
• Measure the outside diameter of the seating surface with a vernier
caliper.
If the outside diameter of the seating surface is too small, repeat the
45° grind until the diameter is within the specified range.

Engine Oil and Oil Filter
AWARNING
Motorcycle operation with insufficient, deteriorated , or contaminated engine oil will cause accelerated wear and may result in engine or transmission seizure , accident, and injury.
Oil Level Inspection
• Check that the engine oil level is between the upper [Aj and lower [Bj
levels in the gauge.
NOTE
o Situate the motorcycle so that it is perpendicular to the ground.
o
o
If the motorcycle has just been used, wait several minutes for afl
the oil to drain down.
If the oil has just been changed, start the engine and run it for
several minutes at idle speed. This fills the oil filter with oil. Stop
the engine, then wait several minutes until the oil settles.
CAUTION
Racing the engine before the oil reaches every part can cause
engine seizure.
If the engine oil gets extremely low or if the oil pump or oil
passages clog up or otherwise do not function properly, the
oil pressure warning light will light. If this light stays on
when the engine is running above idle speed, stop the engine
immediately and find the cause.
Engine Oil Change
• Support the motorcycle perpendicular to the ground afte r war ming up
the engine.
• Remove the engine drain plug [AJ to drain the oil.
o The oil in the oil filter can be drained by removing the filter (see Oil
Filter Change).

accord in various positions. it is well balanced.
If the wheel always stops in one position, adjust the wheel balance.
*
Balance Adjustment
• If the wheel always stops in one position, provisionally attach a
balance weight [AJ on the rim at the marking using adhesive tape.
• Rotate the wheel 1/4 turn [8], and see whether or not the wheel stops
in this position. If it does, the correct balance weight is being used.
If the wheel rotates and the weight goes up, replace the weight with
the next heavier size. If the wheel rotates and the weight goes down,
replace the weight with the next lighter size. Repeat these steps until
the wheel remains at rest after being rotated 1/4 turn.

Tire Inspection
As the tire tread wears down, the tire becomes more susceptible
to puncture and failure. An accepted estimate is that 90 % of all tire
failures occur during the last 10 % of tread life (90 % worn). So it is
false economy and unsafe to use the tires until they are bald.
• Remove any imbedded stones or other foreign particles from the
tread.
• Visually inspect the tire for cracks and cuts, replacing the tire in case
of damage. Swelling or high spots indicate internal damage, requiring
tlfe replacement.
• Measure the tread depth at the center of the tread with a depth gauge
(AI. Since the lire may wear unevenly, take measurement at several
places.
If any measurement is less than the service limit, replace the tire.

are parallel with the rim flanges.
If the rim flanges and tire sidewall rim lines are not parallel, remove
the valve core.
• Lubricate the rim flanges and tire beads.
• Inslallthe valve core and inflate the tire again.
• After Ihe lire beads seat in the rim flanges, check for air leaks.
o Inflate the tire slightly above standard inflation.
o Use a soap and water solution or submerge the tire, and check for
bubbles that would indicate leakage.
• Adjust Ihe air pressure to the specified pressure.
• Inslall the brake disc(s) so that the marked side faces out.
• Adjust the wheel balance.

Repair
Currently two types of repair for tubeless tires have come into
wide use. One type is called a temporary (external) repair which
can be carried out without removing the tire from the rim, and the
other type is called permanent (internal) repair which requires lire
removal. It is generally understood that higher running durability is
obtained by permanent (internal) repairs than by temporary (external)
ones.
Also, permanent (internal) repairs have the advantage of
permitting a thorough examination for secondary damage not visible
from external inspection of the tire. For these reasons, Kawasaki
does not recommend temporary (external) repair. Only appropriate
permanent (internal) repairs are recommended. Repair methods may
vary slightly from make to make. Follow the repair methods indicated
by the manufacturer of the repair tools and materials so that safe results
can be obtained.

• Turn both chain adjusters evenly until the drive chain has the correct
amount of slack. To keep the chain and wheel properly aligned, the
notch IE] on the lett wheel alignment indicator IF] should align with
the same swing arm mark or position [Gj that the right indicator notch
aligns with.
Misalignment of the wheel will result in abnormal wear and
result in an unsafe

• Rotate the rear wheel to inspect the drive chain for damaged rollers,
and loose pins and links.
If there is any irregularity, replace the drive chain.
Lubricate the drive chain if it appears dry.
• Stretch the chain taut by hanging a 98 N (10 kg , 20 Ib) weight [A] on
the chain.
• Measure the length of 20 links {B] on the straight part (C] of the chain
from the pin center of the 1st pin to the pin center of the 21st pin.
Since the chain may wear unevenly, take measurements at several
places.
If any measurements exceed the service limit, replace the chain. Also,
replace the front and rear sprockets when the drive chain is replaced.

AWARNING
If the driv e chain wear exceeds the service limit, replace the
chain or an unsafe riding condition may result. A chain
that breaks or jumps off the sprockets could snag on the
engine sprocket or lock the rear wheel, severely damaging the
motorcycle and causing it to go out of control.
For safely, use only the standard chain. It is an endless type
and should not be cut for installation.
Lubrication
• If a special lubricant is not available, a heavy oil such as SAE 90 is
preferred to a lighter oil because it will stay on the chain longer and
provide bener lubrication.
• If the chain appears especially dirty, dean it before lubrication.
O . A pply OIl.
CAUTION
The O-rings between the side plates seal in the lubricant between the pin and the bushing. To avoid damaging the O-rings
and resultant loss of lubricant, observe the following rules.
Use only kerosene or diesel oil for cleaning an O-ring drive
chain.
Any other cleaning solution such as gasoline or trichloroethylene will cause deterioration and swelling of the O-ring.
Immediately blow the chain dry with compressed air after
cleaning.
Complete cleaning and drying the chain within 10 minutes.
• Apply oil to the sides of the rollers so that oil will penetrate to the
rollers and bushings. Apply the oil to the O-rings so that the a-rings
will be coated with oil.
• Wipe off any excess oil.

• After changing the flu id, check the brake for good braking power, no

If necessary, bleed the air from the lines.
*
Bleeding the Brake Line
The brake flu id 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 lever or pedal movement will be partially
used in compressing the air. This will make the lever or pedal feel
spongy, and there will be a loss in braking power.
AWARNING
Be sure to bleed the air from the brake line whenever brake
lever or pedal action feels soh or spongy aher the brake fluid
is changed, or whenever a brake fine fitting has been loosened
for any reason.

Brake Fluid
AWARNING
When working with the disc brake , observe the precautions
listed below.
1. Never reuse old brake fluid.
2. Do not use fluid from a container that has been left unsealed
or that has been open for a long lime.
3. Do not mix two types and brands of fluid for use in the brake.
This lowers the brake fluid boiling point and could cause the
brake to be ineffective. It may also cause the rubber brake
parts to deteriorate.
4. Don't leave the reservoir cap off for any length of time to avoid
moisture con tamination of the fluid.
5. Dan', change the fluid in the rain or when a strong wind is
blowing.
6, Except tor the disc pads and disc, use only disc brake
fluid, isopropyl alcohol, or ethyl alcohol for cleaning brake
parts. Do not use any other fluid for 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 off any fluid or oil
that inadvertently gets on the pads or disc with a high-flash
point solvent. Do not use one which will leave an oily residue.
Replace the pads with new ones if they cannot be cleaned
satisfactorily.
8. Brake fluid quickly ruins painted surfaces; any spilled fluid
should be completely wiped up immediately.
9 . If any of the brake line fitti ngs or the bleed valve is opened
at any time, the AIR MUST BE BLED FROM THE BRAKE
LINE.

• When removing the brake hose, take care not to spill the brake fluid
on the painted or plastic parts.
• When removing the brake hose, temporarily secure the end of the
brake hose to some high place to keep fluid loss to a minimum.
• There are washers on each side of the brake hose fitting. Replace
them with new ones when installing.
• When installing the hoses, avoid sharp bending, kinking , ftattening or
twisting , and route the hoses according to Hose Routing section in
General Information chapter.

• Bleed the brake line after installing the brake hose (see Bleeding the
Brake line).
Brake Hose Inspection
• The high pressure inside the brake line can cause fluid to leak or the
hose to burst if the line is no properly maintained. Bend and twist
the rubber hose while examining it.
Replace it if any cracks or bulges are noticed.

Precautions
There are a number of important precautions thai are musts when
servicing electrical systems. Learn and observe all the rules below.
o Do not reverse the battery lead connections. This will burn out the
diodes on the electrical parts.
o Always check battery condition before condemning other parts of an
electrical system A fully charged battery is a must for conducting
accurate electrical system tests.
o The electrical parts should never be struck sharply, as with a hammer,
or allowed to fall on a hard surface. Such a shock to the parts can
damage them.
o To 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 button
pushed when the starter motor will not turn over, or the current may
burn out the starter motor windings.
o 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.
o Take care not to short the leads that are directly connected to the
battery positive (+) terminal to the chassis ground.
o Troubles 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
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 fo r signs of burning, fraying, etc. Poor wires and bad
connections will affect electrical system operation.
o Measure coil and winding resistance when the part is cold (at room
temperature).

Initial Charge
While a maintenance free battery can be used after only fill ing with electrolyte, a battery may not be able to sufficiently
move a starter motor to start an engine in the cases shown in the table below, where an initial charge is required before
use, However, if a battery shows a terminal voltag e of higher than 12.5 V after 10 minutes of filling (Note 1), no initial
charge is necessary.
Condition requiring initial charge
At low temperatures (lower than 0 C)

Precautions
1)
2)
No need of topping-up
No topping-up is necessary in this battery until it ends its life under normal use. Forcibly prying off the sealing plug
to add water is very dangerous. Never do that.
Refreshing charge
If an engine will not start, a horn sounds weak, or lamps are dim, It indicates the battery has been discharged. Give
refresh charge for 5 to 10 hours with charge current shown in the specification (see the Electrical System chapter).
When a fast charge is inevitably required, do it following precisely the maximum charge current and time conditions
indicated on the battery.
CAUTION
This battery is designed to sustain no unusual deterioration if refresh-eharged according to the method
specified above . However. the battery' S performance may be reduced noticeably If charged under conditions
other than given above.
Never remove the sealing plug d uring refresh charge.
If by chance an excessive amount of gas is generated due to overcharging, the safety valve operates to keep
the battery safe .
3)
4)
When you do not use the motorcycle for months
Give a refresh charge before you store the motorcycle and store it wi th the negative lead removed. Give a refresh
charge every month during storage.
Battery life
If the battery will not start the engine even after several refresh charges, the battery has exceeded its useful life.
Replace it. (Provided , however, the vehicle's starting system has no problem.)
AWARNING
Keep the battery away from sparks and open flames during charging, since the battery gives off an exp losive
gas mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. When using a battery charger, connect the battery to the charger before
turning on the charger. This procedure prevents sparks at the battery terminals which could ignite any battery
gases.
No fire should be drawn near the battery, or no terminals should have the tightening loosened .
The electrolyte contains sulfuric acid . Be careful not to have It touch your skin or eyes. If touched , wash it
off with liberal amount of water. Get medical attention if severe.
Interchange
A maintenance free battery can fully display its pertormance only when combined with a proper vehicle electric system.
Therefore, replace a maintenance free battery only on a motorcycle which was originally equipped with a maintenance
free battery.
Be careful, if a maintenance free battery is installed on a motorcycle which had an ordinary battery as original eqUipment,
the maintenance free battery'S life will be shortened.

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.
o Turn off the ignition switch.
o Remove the fuel tank (see Fuel System chapter).
o Supply fuel to the carburetors with an auxiliary fuel tank.

• Using the highest resistance range of the hand tester, measure the
resistance between each of the black leads and chassis ground.
Any hand tester reading less than infinity (00) indicates a short,
necessitating stator replacement.

Additional Considerations for Racing
This motorcycle has been manufactured for use in a reasonable
and prudent manner and as a vehicle only.
However, some may
wish to subject this motorcycle to abnormal operation, such as would
be experienced under racing conditions.
KAWASAKI STRONGLY
RECOMMENDS THAT All AlDERS RIDE SAFELY AND OBEY ALL
LAWS AND REGULATIONS CONCERNING THEIR MOTORCYCLE
AND ITS OPERATION.
Racing should be done under supervised conditions, and recognized
sanctioning bodies should be contacted for further details. For those
who desire to participate in competitive racing or related use, the
following technical information may prove useful. However, please note
the following important notes.
• You are entirely responsible for the use of your motorcycle under
abnormal conditions such as racing, and Kawasaki shall not be liable
for any damages which might arise from such use.
• Kawasaki's Limited Motorcycle Warranty and Limited Emission Control Systems Warranty specifically exclude motorcycles which are
used in competition or related uses. Please read the warranty carefully.
• Motorcycle raCing is a very sophisticated sport, subject to many
variables. The fallowing 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 perlormance
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 perlormed, the main
jet can be replaced with a smaller or larger one. A smaller numbered
jet gives a leaner mixture and a larger numbered jet a richer mixture.
Spark Plug :
The spark plug ignites the fuel and air mixture in the combus tion
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 carburelion 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.

Side Electrode (HI
APPENDIX 16-3
Additional Considerations for Racing
When a plug of the correct heat range is being used, the electrodes
will stay hot enough to keep all the carbon burned off, but cool enough
to keep from damaging the engine and the plug itself. This temperature
is about 400 ..... 80lte (750 '" 1450°F) and can be judged by noting the
condition and color of the ceramic insulator around the center electrode.
If the ceramic is clean and of a light brown color, the plug is operating
al the fight temperature.
A spark plug for higher operating temperatures is used for racing.
Such a plug is designed for belter cooling efficiency so that it will not
overheat and thus is often called a ' colder" plug. If a spark plug with
too high a heat range is used· that is, a 'cold" plug thai cools itself 100
well· the plug will stay too cool to burn off the carbon, and the carbon
will collect on the electrodes and the ceramic insulator.
The carbon on the electrodes conducts electricity, and can short the
center electrode to ground by either coating the ceramic insulator or
bridging across the gap. Such a short will prevent an effective spark.
Carbon build-up on the plug can also cause other troubles. It can heat
up red-hot and cause preignition and knocking, which may eventually
burn a hole in the top of the piston.
16-4 APPENDIX
Additional Considerations for Racing
Spark Plug Inspection
• Remove the spark plug and inspect the ceramic insulator.
right temperature plug is being used can be
ascertained by noting the condition of the ceramic insulator around
the electrode. A light brown color indicates the correct plug is being
used. If the ceramic is black, it indicates thai the plug is firing at too
Iowa temperature, so the next hotter type should be used instead. If
the ceramic is white, the plug is operating a too high a temperature
and it should be replaced with the next colder type.

CAUTION
If the spark plug is replaced with a type other than the standard
plug, make certain the replacement plug has the same thread
pitch and reach (length of threaded portion) and the same type
electrode (regular type or projected type) as the standard plug .
If the plug reach is too short, carbon will build up on the plug
hole threads in the cylinder head, causing overheating and
making It very difficult to Insert the correct spark plug later.
If the reach is too long, carbon will build up on the exposed
spark plug threads causing overheating, preignition , and
possibly burning a hole in the piston top. In addition, it may be
impossible to remove the plug without damaging the cylinder
head.

Preparation

Before Installing

Modify the parts based on your race regulation.

To avoid misuse keep the parts replaced with the kit parts separate.

When reusing parts, clean them and check them for damage or deterioration. Main Removal Parts:

Lights

Rear View Mirrors Side Stand

Starter Lockout Switch

Remove the side stand switch. When the optional main harness is not used, connect removing Black/Yellow and Green/White Leads directly.

Racing Kit Parts

Also, we have provided the spare parts, and other optional parts (engine, frame, and electric parts) for racing. So please order each parts referring to the “Racing Kit Parts List” in the back of this manual.

Engine Parts Installation

Air Intake Parts

Remove the wire net of Ram – Air duct intake to reduce the air flow resistance.

Remove the tank (16181-0011) to reduce the weight. Plug the holes firmly with a tape. The air pressure in the duct rises during high speed operation because the Ram Air System is used.

Remove the secondary valves of cylinder head and relational parts, then plug the each holes.

Remove the oil receiver and plug the hole.

Remove the air cleaner element or cut the cleaner element off remaining punched plate to reduce the air flow resistance.

1.Remove the parts.

2.Plug the holes.

3.Replace with plugs (92043-1506), and plug the holes.

10

Cylinder Head

Grind off the stepped portions of the ports and smooth the inside of ports to make intake/exhaust gas flow more smooth.

Grind off the stepped portion only at the mating surface between the carburetor holder and the intake port. Do not port it. To extend the intake port, air flow speed will be reduced and the engine performance at the high speed range may be down.

Mark the carburetor holders so that they can be installed in their original positions. Grind off and smooth the stepped portions at the mating surface between valve seat and

the port.

Smooth the inside of the intake port and exhaust port. Use the hand grinder.

Use #200 oil stone for eliminating any stepped portions.

Use #200 oil stone for smoothing and #300 oil stone for finishing.

NOTE

These procedures make air resistance less and intake/exhaust gas flow more smooth. However, much more effect can not be expected by excessive grinding and smoothing. It may be done to the extent of getting rid of uneven surfaces.

1.Stepped Portions of carburetor holder and cylinder head.

2.Stepped Portions of valve seat and cylinder head.

11

The combustion chambers are modified by cutting work but the edges shown must be hand finished for smooth corners (Round them to about R1).

Chamfer the machining edge of the cylinder head where the valve seat is installed, also smooth the dome of the combustion chamber with the valves installed. Excessive smoothing may reduce the cylinder compression.

XXX. Edges

NOTE

When grinding the cylinder head bottom surface or using thinner gaskets, adjust the valve timing to keep that the valve to piston clearance is not less than the minimum value (IN: 0.8 mm, EX: 1.4 mm).

Camshaft Chain Tensioner

Replace the cam chain tensioner with the kit to gain the durability.

Apply the engine oil to the tensioner rod, O-ring and tensioner body, insert them into the tensioner body.

Check to see that the tensioner rod turns freely in the body, if not, polish the tensioner rod or fine the female threads in the body with a tap (Diameter × Pitch = 6 mm × 1.0 mm).

Install the tensioner on the cylinder block with the tensioner rod is fully pushed back. Turn the tensioner rod in with a screwdriver until it becomes hard to turn.

Turn the crankshaft clockwise forcing lightly to the tensioner rod with twisting force to take up any gap and tighten the locknut.

Tighten the rock nut after adjustment.

NOTE

Never forward the tensioner rod forcibly, this will increase mechanical loss of the tensioner and may damage to the chain guide.

The cam chain tensioner must be adjusted at every race.

If you don’t adjust the valve timing for racing, install the camshaft sprocket to the kit camshaft using the round bolt holes and adjust the cam chain timing according to the Ninja ZX-6R Service Manual. If you adjust the valve timing, install the sprocket to the camshaft between the adjustable range of the long bolt holes.

Tighten the camshaft sprocket bolts to 15 N·m (1.5 kgf·m, 11.0 ft·lb) of torque.

When grinding the cylinder head bottom surface, grinding the cylinder top surface or using thinner gaskets, be sure the valve to piston clearance especially.

When using the sprocket long bolt holes and adjusting the valve timing to be different from the standard timing, check the valve to piston clearance of all cylinders after adjusting the valve clearance correctly.

Valve to Piston Clearance (Min.)

Intake

0.8 mm

Exhaust

1.4 mm

If the valve to piston clearance is less than the minimum value, do not start the engine because the valves will touch the piston and the engine may be damaged.

Measure the valve to piston clearance at about 12° ATDC (Intake) and 11° BTDC (Exhaust) of crankshaft timing. At this point, the valve to piston clearance will be minimum.

Valve Springs

The original machine’s valve springs should be used

.

Cylinder Compression

To adjust the cylinder compression, adjust the thickness of the cylinder head gasket and the cylinder base gasket or smooth the cylinder top surface to make the piston squish 0.65 ~ 0.8 mm. Keep the piston squish more than 0.65 mm.

Position the piston at Top Dead Center, and put a small piece of modeling clay on the shoulder of the piston. Install the cylinder head gasket and cylinder head, and tighten the head bolts to the specified torque.

Remove the cylinder head and measure the thickness of the clay. The thickness of the collapsed clay is the size of the squish.

Squish Measurement

[1]

Front and Rear

0.65 ~ 0.80 mm

[2]

Left and Right

0.67 ~ 0.85 mm

The most preferable squish measurement is [1] 0.65 mm/[2] 0.67 mm. Select proper cylinder head gasket and cylinder base gasket.

Note that by grinding the cylinder head surface only left and right squishes become narrower, while by grinding the cylinder top surface or decreasing the gasket-thickness all the squishes become narrower.

Connecting Rod Bolts

Use the original connecting bolts and nuts.

The original connecting rod bolt has recesses at both ends to measure its length and determine the bolt stretch.

Install the original bolts into the connecting rod.

Before every tightening, use a point micrometer to measure the length of the bolts and record the values to find the bolt stretch.

Apply a small amount of molybdenum disulfide grease to the threads of bolts. Tighten the big end nuts at the torque of 11.8 ±2 N·m (1.2 ±0.2 kgf·m): reference Check the length of the bolts and find the bolt stretch.

Bolt Length after tightening – Bolt Length before tightening = Stretch

Bolt Stretch

Usable Range: 0.33 ~ 0.38 mm (0.013 ~ 0.015 in.)

Turn the big end nuts more until the bolt stretch reaches the usable range.

NOTE

Replace the original bolts with new ones if they have already been tightened up to usable range 2 times.
