EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION

To protect the environment in which we all live, Kawasaki has incorporated crankcase emission (1), exhaust emission (2), and evaporative emission (3) control systems in compliance with applicable regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

1. Crankcase Emission Control System

A sealed-type crankcase emission control system is used to eliminate blow-by gases. The blow-by gases are led to the breather chamber through the crankcase. Then, it is led to the air cleaner. Oil is separated from the gases while passing through the inside of the breather chamber from the crankcase, and then returned back to the bottom of crankcase.

2. Exhaust Emission Control System

The exhaust emission control system applied to this engine family is engine modifications that consist of a catalytic converter in the muffler (US and CA models), a fuel injection and ignition system having optimum ignition timing characteristics.

The fuel injection system has been calibrated to provide lean air/fuel mixture characteristics and optimum fuel economy with a suitable air cleaner and exhaust system.

A maintenance free ignition system provides the most favorable ignition timing and helps maintain a thorough combustion process within the engine which contributes to a reduction of exhaust pollutants entering the atmosphere.

3. Evaporative Emission Control System

The evaporative emission control system for this vehicle consists of low permeation fuel hoses and a 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)(B) 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

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 vehicle.

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.

PLEASE DO NOT TAMPER WITH NOISE CONTROL SYSTEM

(US MODEL only)

To minimize the noise emissions from this product, Kawasaki has equipped it with effective intake and exhaust silencing systems. They are designed to give optimum performance while maintaining a low noise level. Please do not remove these systems, or alter them in any way which results in an increase in noise level.

TAMPERING WITH EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM PROHIBITED:

Federal regulations and California State law prohibit 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 purposes of emission 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.

Do not tamper with the original emission related parts:

Throttle body and internal parts

Spark plugs

Alternator or electronic battery ignition system

Fuel filter/Fuel injector/Fuel pump

Air cleaner element

ECU (Electronic Control Unit)

1-2 GENERAL INFORMATION

Before Servicing

Before starting to perform an inspection service or carry out a disassembly and reassembly operation on a vehicle, read the precautions given below. To facilitate actual operations, notes, illustrations, 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 vehicle, disconnect the battery wires from the battery to prevent the engine from accidentally turning over. Disconnect the ground wire (–) first and then the positive (+). When completed with the service, first connect the positive (+) wire to the positive

(+) terminal of the battery then the negative (–) wire 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-flush point solvent when cleaning parts. High

-flush 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 vehicle disassembly can cause excessive wear and decrease performance of the vehicle.

Before Servicing

Arrangement and Cleaning 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3

Storage of Removed 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 accident. Visually inspect removed parts for corrosion, discoloration, 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 beyond 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 disassembly, 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 sequence 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 quarter 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.

Force

Use common sense during disassembly and assembly, excessive force can cause expensive or hard to repair damage. 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 thoroughly so that no gasket material or other material remains. Install new gaskets and replace used

O-rings when re-assembling.

Liquid Gasket, Locking Agent

For applications that require Liquid Gasket or a

Non-Permanent Locking Agent, clean the surfaces so that no oil residue remains before applying liquid gasket or locking agent. Do not apply them excessively. Excessive application can clog oil passages and cause serious damage.

Before Servicing

Press

For items such as bearings or oil seals that must be pressed into place, apply small amount of oil to the contact area. Be sure to maintain proper alignment and use smooth movements when installing.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-5

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 with 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 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. Lubrication 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. Rotate the crankshaft to positive direction (clockwise viewed from right side).

Electrical Wires

A two-color wire is identified first by the primary color and then the stripe color. Unless instructed otherwise, electrical wires must be connected to those of the same color.

Instrument

Use a meter that has enough accuracy for an accurate measurement. Read the manufacture’s instructions thoroughly before using the meter. Incorrect values may lead to improper adjustments.

Make a line mark [D] on the gauge at the upper surface of the cover plate [E].

2-30 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

Remove the gauge and measure the distance [L] between the mark [D] and the gauge bottom end.

Calculate the belt deflection [H].

H = L (mm) – 82.4 (mm) or

H = L (in.) – 3.24 (in.) Belt Deflection

Belt Deflection

Standard:

22

31 mm (0.87

1.22 in.) (at checking)

(For reference) The 82.4 mm (3.24 in.) is the distance between the top surface of cover plate and the design base point of the drive belt for measuring.

If the belt deflection is not within the specified range, adjust the deflection by adding or removing spacers on the fixed sheave of the driven pulley.

NOTE

This is timesaving preliminary drive belt deflection measuring method. When recheck the belt deflection after deflection adjustment, follow the standard method described below.

If the belt deflection is not within the standard, adjust it by adding or removing spacers on the fixed sheave of the driven pulley.

NOTE

For easy drive belt deflection judgment, put a 9 mm wide tape [A] at the position on the belt deflection gauge as shown in the figure. With this tool the technician can judge the deflection directly by checking the position of the tape against the cover plate.

Standard Drive Belt Deflection Measurement

After deflection adjustment, check the belt deflection before installing the CVT cover following the method described below.

Measure the belt deflection [A] at the middle of two pulleys with a straightedge, the belt deflection gauge and a ruler.

Place a straightedge [B] on top of the belt between the drive pulley [C] and the driven pulley [D].

Push the belt away from the straightedge with the belt deflection gauge. Press the gauge head until the 59 N scale line aligns with the top end of the stopper.

Belt Deflection

Standard:

22

27 mm (0.87

1.06 in.) (at adjusting)

If the belt deflection is not within the specified range, adjust the deflection again.

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

Converter Drive Belt Deflection Adjustment

Disassemble the driven pulley (see Driven Pulley Disassembly in the Converter System chapter).

If the belt deflection is more than 31 mm (1.22 in.), remove the spacers to decrease it.

The rule-of-thumb is: 0.1 mm (0.004 in.) change in spacer thickness equals about 1.3 mm (0.051 in.) change in belt deflection.

If the adjustment cannot be done within the specified range even if the shim is removed, replace the drive belt.

If the belt deflection is less than 22 mm (0.87 in.), add the spacers [A] to increase it.

The rule-of-thumb is: 0.1 mm (0.004 in.) change in spacer thickness equals about 1.6 mm (0.063 in.) change in belt deflection.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-31

NOTE

When using the plural spacers, install the thick spacer to the movable sheave side and thin spacer to the fixed sheave side.

Brake Fluid Level Inspection

With the vehicle on level ground, check that the fluid level in the reservoir [A] is between the upper and lower level lines.

Upper Level ine (MAX) [B]

Lower Level ine (MIN) [C]

If the fluid level is lower than the lower level line, check for fluid leaks in the brake lines, and fill the reservoir to the upper level line.

WARNING

Mixing brands and types of brake fluid can reduce the brake system’s effectiveness and cause an accident resulting in injury or death. Do not mix two brands of brake fluid. Change the brake fluid in the brake line completely if the brake fluid must be refilled but the type and brand of the brake fluid that is already in the reservoir are unidentified.

Apply the brake forcefully for a few seconds and check for fluid leakage around the fittings.

WARNING

Air in the brake lines diminish braking performance and can cause an accident resulting in injury or death. If the brake pedal has a soft or «spongy» feeling mushy when it is applied, there might be air in the brake lines or the brake may be defective. Do not operate the vehicle and service the brake system immediately.

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

DFI Servicing Precautions

DFI Servicing Precautions

There are a number of important precautions that should be followed servicing the DFI system.

This DFI system is designed to be used with a 12 V sealed battery as its power source. Do not use any other battery except for a 12 V sealed battery as a power source.

Do not reverse the battery cable connections. This will damage the ECU.

To prevent damage to the DFI parts, do not disconnect the battery cables or any other electrical connections when the ignition switch is on or while the engine is running.

Take care not to short the cables that are directly connected to the battery positive (+) terminal to the chassis ground.

When charging, remove the battery from the vehicle. This is to prevent ECU damage by excessive voltage.

Do not turn the ignition switch ON while any of the DFI electrical connectors are disconnected. The ECU memorizes service codes.

Do not spray water on the electrical parts, DFI parts, connectors, leads, and wiring.

Whenever the DFI electrical connections are to be disconnected, first turn off the ignition switch, and disconnect the battery (–) terminal. Do not pull the lead, only the connector. Conversely, make sure that all the DFI electrical connections are firmly reconnected before starting the engine.

Connect these connectors until they click [A].

If a transceiver is installed on the vehicle, make sure that the operation of the DFI system is not influenced by electric wave radiated from the antenna. Check operation of the system with the engine at idle. Locate the antenna as far as possible away from the ECU.

When any fuel hose is disconnected, fuel may spout out by residual pressure in the fuel line. Cover the hose joint with a piece of clean cloth to prevent fuel spillage.

When any fuel hose is disconnected, do not turn on the ignition switch. Otherwise, the fuel pump will operate and fuel will spout from the fuel hose.

Do not operate the fuel pump if the pump is completely dry. This is to prevent pump seizure.

Before removing the fuel system parts, blow the outer surfaces of these parts clean with compressed air.

To prevent corrosion and deposits in the fuel system, do not add to fuel any fuel antifreeze chemicals.

DFI Servicing Precautions

To maintain the correct fuel/air mixture (F/A), there must be no intake air leaks in the DFI system. Be sure to install the oil filler cap [A] after filling the engine oil.

Troubleshooting the DFI System

Outline

(KRF750NA/PA/RA/SA/TA

NC/PC/RC/SC/VC)

When an abnormality in the DFI system occurs, the FI indicator symbol [A] (LCD) flashes on the meter panel to alert the driver. In addition, the condition of the problem is stored in the memory of the ECU (electronic control unit).

With the engine stopped and turned in the self-diagnosis mode, the service code [A] is indicated by the number of times the FI indicator symbol (LCD) blinks.

When due to a malfunction, the FI indicator symbol (LCD) remains flashed, first ask the rider about the conditions [B] of trouble, and then determine the cause [C] of problem.

First, conduct a self-diagnosis inspection and then a non-self-diagnosis inspection.

The non-self-diagnosis items are not indicated by the FI indicator symbol (LCD).

Do not rely solely on the DFI self-diagnosis function, use common sense.

Even when the DFI system is operating normally, the FI indicator symbol (LCD) may appear under strong electrical interference. No repair needed. Turn the ignition switch

OFF to stop the indicator symbol.

When the FI indicator symbol (LCD) flashes and the vehicle is brought in for repair, check the service codes.

When the repair has been done, the symbol disappears.

But the service codes stored in memory of the ECU are not erased to preserve the problem history can be referred using the KDS (Kawasaki Diagnostic System) when solving unstable problems.

Much of the DFI system troubleshooting work consists of confirming continuity of the wiring. The DFI parts are assembled and adjusted with precision, and it is impossible to disassemble or repair them.

Troubleshooting the DFI System

(KRF750ND/PD/RD/SD)

When a problem occurs with DFI system, the engine warning indicator light (LED) [A] goes on to alert the operator. In addition, the condition of the problem is stored in the memory of the ECU.

FUEL SYSTEM (DFI) 3-25

With the engine stopped and turned in the self-diagnosis mode, the service code [A] is displayed on the LCD (Liquid

Crystal Display) by the number of two digits.

If the problem is with the following parts, the ECU can not recognize these problem. Therefore, the yellow engine warning indicator light (LED) does not go on, and service code is not displayed.

LCD for Meter Unit

Fuel Pump

Fuel Injectors

Ignition Coil Secondary Wiring and Ground Wiring

ECU Power Source Wiring and Ground Wiring

When the service code [A] is displayed, for first ask the operator about the conditions [B] of trouble, and then start to determine the cause [C] of problem.

As a pre-diagnosis inspection, check the ECU for ground and power supply, the fuel line for no fuel leaks, and for correct pressure. The pre-diagnosis items are not indicated by the yellow engine warning indicator light (LED).

Don’t rely solely on the DFI self-diagnosis function, use common sense.

3-26 FUEL SYSTEM (DFI)

Troubleshooting the DFI System

When checking the DFI parts, use a digital meter which can be read two decimal place voltage or resistance.

The DFI part connectors [A] have seals [B], including the

ECU.

When measuring the input or output voltage with the connector joined, use the needle adapter set [C].

Special Tool — Needle Adapter Set: 57001-1457

Insert the needle adapters inside the seals from behind the connector until the adapter reaches the terminal.

NOTICE

Insert the needle adapter straight along the terminal in the connector to prevent short-circuit between terminals.

Make sure that measuring points are correct in the connector, noting the position of the lock [D] and the lead color before measurement. Do not reverse connections of the digital meter.

Be careful not to short-circuit the leads of the DFI or electrical system parts by contact between adapters.

Turn the ignition switch ON and measure the voltage with the connector joined.

NOTICE

Incorrect, reverse connection or short circuit by needle adapters could damage the DFI or electrical system parts.

After measurement, remove the needle adapters and apply silicone sealant to the seals [A] of the connector [B] for waterproofing.

Sealant — Liquid Gasket, TB1211: 56019-120

Always check battery condition before replacing the DFI parts. A fully charged battery is a must for conducting accurate tests of the DFI system.

Trouble may involve one or in some cases all items.

Never replace a defective part without determining what

CAUSED the problem. If the problem was caused by some other item or items, they too must be repaired or replaced, or the new replacement part will soon fail again.

Measure coil winding resistance when the DFI part is cold

(at room temperature).

Make sure all connectors in the circuit are clean and tight, and examine wires for signs of burning, fraying, short, etc. Deteriorated wires and bad connections can cause reappearance of problems and unstable operation of the

DFI system.

If any wiring is deteriorated, replace the wiring.

Troubleshooting the DFI System

Pull each connector [A] apart and inspect it for corrosion, dirt, and damage.

If the connector is corroded or dirty, clean it carefully. If it

• is damaged, replace it. Connect the connectors securely.

Check the wiring for continuity.

Use the wiring diagram to find the ends of the lead which is suspected of being a problem.

Connect the hand tester between the ends of the leads.

Special Tool — Hand Tester: 57001-1394

Set the tester to the × 1 Ω range, and read the tester.

If the tester does not read 0 Ω, the lead is defective. Replace the lead or the main harness or the sub harness.

If both ends of a harness [A] are far apart, ground [B] the one end [C], using a jumper lead [D] and check the continuity between the end [E] and the ground [F]. This enables to check a long harness for continuity. If the harness is open, repair or replace the harness.

FUEL SYSTEM (DFI) 3-27

When checking a harness [A] for short circuit, open one end [B] and check the continuity between the other end

[C] and ground [D]. If there is continuity, the harness has a short circuit to ground, and it must be repaired or replaced.

Narrow down suspicious locations by repeating the continuity tests from the ECU connectors.

If no abnormality is found in the wiring or connectors, the

DFI parts are the next likely suspects. Check the part, starting with input and output voltages. However, there is no way to check the ECU itself.

If an abnormality is found, replace the affected DFI part.

If no abnormality is found in the wiring, connectors, and

DFI parts, replace the ECU.

4-4 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 (coupled with the oil pump) turns and the coolant circulates.

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 67°C (153°F), 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 69.5

72.5°C (157

163°F), the thermostat opens and the coolant flows. When the coolant temperature goes up beyond 100°C (212°F), the radiator fan relay conducts to operate the radiator fan. The radiator fan draws air through the radiator core when there is not sufficient air flow such as at low speeds. This increases up the cooling action of the radiator. When the temperature is below 90°C (194°F), the fan relay 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 contract, 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 93

123 kPa (0.95

1.25 kgf/cm², 13

18 psi), 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 93

123 kPa (0.95

1.25 kgf/cm², 13

18 psi).

When the engine cools down, another small valve (vacuum valve) in the cap opens. As the coolant 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.

Coolant Deterioration Inspection

Tilt up and hold the front fender front (see Front Fender

Front Removal in the Frame chapter).

Visually inspect the coolant in the reserve tank [A].

If whitish cotton-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 cooling system leak. It may be caused by exhaust gas leaking into the cooling system.

Coolant Level Inspection

NOTE

Check the level when the engine is cold (room or ambient temperature).

Check the coolant level in the reserve tank with the vehicle held perpendicularly.

Reserve Tank [A]

F (full) Mark [B]

L (low) Mark [C]

If the coolant level is lower than the L mark [A], remove the reserve tank cap [B], then add coolant to the F mark

[A].

NOTICE

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 attach the aluminum engine parts. In an emergency, soft water 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 reserve tank has run completely dry; there is probably leakage in the cooling system. Check the system for leaks.

Coolant Draining

Refer to the Coolant Change in the Periodic Maintenance chapter.

Coolant Filling

Refer to the Coolant Change in the Periodic Maintenance chapter.

Coolant

Pressure Testing

Tilt up and hold the front fender front (see Front Fender

Front Removal in the Frame chapter).

Remove the radiator cap, and install a cooling system pressure tester [A] on the radiator filler neck.

NOTE

Wet the cap sealing surfaces with water or coolant to prevent pressure leakage.

Build up pressure in the system carefully until the pressure reaches 123 kPa (1.25 kgf/cm², 18 psi).

NOTICE

During pressure testing, do not exceed the pressure for which the system is designed. The maximum pressure is 123 kPa (1.25 kgf/cm², 18 psi).

Watch the gauge for at least 6 seconds.

If the pressure holds steady, the system is alright.

If the pressure drops soon, check for leaks.

Camshaft Chain Tensioner Removal

NOTICE

This is a non-return type cam chain tensioner. The push rod does not return to its original position once it moves out to take up cam chain slack. Observe all the rules listed below:

When removing the tensioner, do not take out the mounting bolts only partway.

Retightening the mounting bolts from this position could damage the tensioner and the camshaft chain. Once the bolts are loosened, the tensioner must be removed and reset as described in “Camshaft Chain Tensioner Installation”.

Do not turn over the crankshaft while the tensioner is removed. This could upset the cam chain timing, and damage the valves.

Camshaft Bearing Wear Inspection

The journal wear is measured using plastigage (press gauge), which is inserted into the clearance to be measured. The plastigage indicates the clearance by the amount it is compressed and widened when the parts are assembled.

Cut strips of plastigage to journal width. Place a strip on each journal parallel to the camshaft with the camshaft installed in the correct position so that the plastigage will be compressed between the journal and rocker case.

Install the rocker case, tightening the bolts in the correct sequence to the specified torque (see Rocker Case Installation).

NOTE

Do not turn the camshaft when the plastigage is between the journal and rocker case.

Remove the rocker case and measure the plastigage width [A] to determine the clearance between the journal and the rocker case. Measure the widest portion of the plastigage.

KACR Inspection

The Kawasaki Automatic Compression Release (KACR) momentarily opens the exhaust valves on the compression stroke at very low speeds. This allows some of the compression pressure to escape, making it easy to turn over the engine during starting.

Due to the simplicity of the mechanism, no periodic maintenance is needed. There are only two symptoms of problems with the KACR mechanism [A]: compression is not released during starting, and compression is released during running.

(1) If compression is not released during starting, the

• weights are not returning to their rest position.

Remove the camshaft (see Camshaft Removal).

Remove the KACR unit.

Visually inspect the spring.

If damaged, deformed, or missing, replace the spring.

Remove the spring and move the weights back and forth.

If the weights do not move smoothly, replace the KACR unit. Also inspect the exhaust rocker arm for any damage, and replace the rocker arm if necessary.

If the manufacturer’s instructions are not available, use the following procedure.

Seat Cutter Operation Care

1. This valve seat cutter is developed to grind the valve seat 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 fail to apply engine oil to the valve seat cutter before grinding the seat surface. Also wash off ground particles sticking to the cutter with washing oil.

NOTE

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

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 storing.

Marks Stamped on the Cutter

The marks stamped on the back of the cutter [A] represent the following.

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.

NOTICE

Do not grind the seat too much. Overgrinding will reduce valve 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.

If the outside diameter of the seating surface is too small, repeat the 45° grind [A] until the diameter is within the specified range.

Original Seating Surface [B]

NOTE

Remove all pittings of flaws from 45° ground surface.

After grinding with 45° cutter, apply thin coat of machinist’s dye to seating surface. This makes seating surface distinct and 32° and 60° grinding operation easier.

When the valve guide is replaced, be sure to grind with

45° cutter for centering and good contact.

Valves

If the outside diameter (O.D.) [A] of the seating surface is too large, make the 32° grind described below.

If the outside diameter of the seating surface is within the specified range, measure the seat width as described below.

Grind the seat at a 32° angle [B] until the seat O.D. is within the specified range.

To make the 32° grind, fit a 32° cutter into the holder, and slide it into the valve guide.

Turn the holder one turn at a time while pressing down very lightly. Check the seat after each turn.

NOTICE

The 32° cutter removes material very quickly.

Check the seat outside diameter frequently to prevent overgrinding.

After making the 32° grind, return to the seat O.D. measurement step above.

To measure the seat width, use vernier calipers to measure the width of the 45° angle portion of the seat at several places around the seat.

If the seat width is too narrow, repeat the 45° grind until the seat is slightly too wide, and then return to the seat

O.D. measurement step above.

If the seat width is too wide, make the 60° [A] grind described below.

If the seat width is within the specified range, lap the valve to the seat as described below.

Grind the seat at a 60° angle until the seat width is within the specified range.

To make the 60° grind, fit 60° cutter into the holder, and slide it into the valve guide.

Turn the holder, while pressing down lightly.

After making the 60° grind, return to the seat width measurement step above.

Correct Width [B]

Valves

Lap the valve to the seat, once the seat width and O.D.

are within the ranges specified above.

Put a little coarse grinding compound on the face of the valve in a number of places around the valve head.

Spin the valve against the seat until the grinding compound produces a smooth, matched surface on both the seat and the valve.

Repeat the process with a fine grinding compound.

[B] Valve Seat

[C] Valve

The seating area should be marked about in the middle of the valve face.

If the seat area is not in the right place on the valve, check to be sure the valve is the correct part. If it is, it may have been refaced too much; replace it.

Be sure to remove all grinding compound before assembly.

When the engine is assembled, be sure to adjust the valve clearance (see Valve Clearance Adjustment in the Periodic Maintenance chapter).

Engine Oil and Oil Filter

WARNING

Vehicle operation with insufficient, deteriorated, or contaminated engine oil will cause accelerated wear and may result in engine seizure, accident, and injury. Check the oil level before each use and change the oil and filter according to the periodic maintenance chart.

Oil Level Inspection

Park the vehicle so that it is level, both side-to-side and front-to-rear.

If the oil has just been changed, start the engine, and run it for several minutes to fill the oil filter.

NOTICE

Allow the engine to idle for several minutes so that oil may reach all parts of the engine. Racing a «dry» engine may cause severe damage.

Stop the engine and wait several minutes for all the oil to drain back to the sump.

Remove:

Left Seat (see Seat Removal in the Frame chapter)

Quick Rivets [A]

Heat Guard Plate [B]

Unscrew the oil filler cap [A], wipe its dipstick [B] dry, and tighten it into the filler opening.

Unscrew the oil filler cap and check the oil level. The oil level should be between the upper (H) and lower (L) level lines [C].

If the level is too high, suck the excess oil out the filler hole with a syringe or other suitable device.

If the level is too low, add oil through the filler hole. Use the same type and make of oil that is already in the engine.

Engine Oil Change

Refer to the Engine Oil Change in the Periodic Maintenance chapter.

Oil Filter Change

Refer to the Oil Filter Change in the Periodic Maintenance chapter.

Oil Screen Removal

Split the crankcase (see Crankcase Disassembly in the

Crankshaft/Transmission chapter).

Pull the oil screen [A] out of the crankcase.

Oil Screen Cleaning

Clean the oil screen [A] thoroughly whenever it is removed for any reason.

Clean the oil screen with a high-flash point solvent and remove any particles stuck to it.

WARNING

Gasoline and low-flash point solvents can be flammable and/or explosive and cause severe burns. Clean the screen in a well-ventilated area, and take care that there are no sparks or flame anywhere near the working area; this includes any appliance with a pilot light. Do not use gasoline or a low-flash point solvent to clean the screen.

NOTE

While cleaning the screen, check for any metal particles that might indicate internal engine damage.

Check the screen carefully for any damage, holes, broken wires, or gasket pulling off.

If the screen is damaged, replace it.

Start the engine and warm up the engine.

Run the engine at the specified speed, and read the oil pressure gauge [A].

Oil Pressure

Standard: 515 kPa (5.3 kgf/cm², 74.7 psi) @4 000 r/min (rpm), Oil Temperature 120°C

(248°F)

If the oil pressure is much lower than the standard, inspect the relief valve, oil pump, and/or crankshaft bearing insert wear.

If the oil pressure is much higher than the standard, inspect the oil filter, oil screen, and other areas of the lubri-

• cation system for clogging.

Stop the engine.

Remove the oil pressure gauge and adapter.

WARNING

Hot oil can cause severe burns. Beware of hot engine oil that will drain through the oil passage when the gauge adapter is removed.

Apply silicone sealant to the oil pressure switch, and tighten it.

Oil Pressure Relief Valve Removal

Split the crankcase (see Crankcase Disassembly in the

Crankshaft/Transmission chapter).

Remove the oil pressure relief valve [A].

Oil Pressure Relief Valve Installation

See crankcase assembly (see Crankcase Assembly in the Crankshaft/Transmission chapter).

Apply a non-permanent locking agent to the threads of oil pressure relief valve, and tighten it.

Torque — Oil Pressure Relief Valve: 15 N·m (1.5 kgf·m, 11 ft·lb)

Oil Pressure Relief Valve Inspection

Remove the relief valve.

Using a wooden stick, push the inner valve to make sure that the valve [A] moves smoothly and that it returns to its original position by the force of the spring [B].

NOTE

The relief valve cannot be disassembled and it must be inspected in the assembled state.

If the valve movement is not smooth, wash the relief valve with high-flash point solvent, and use compressed air to remove any foreign particles from it.

WARNING

Gasoline and low-flash point solvents can be flammable and/or explosive and cause severe burns.

Clean the oil pressure relief valve in a well-ventilated area, and take care that there are no sparks or flame anywhere near the working area; this includes any appliance with a pilot light. Do not use gasoline or a low-flash point solvent to clean the oil pressure relief valve.

If the valve does not move smoothly even after washing it, replace the relief valve. The oil pressure relief valve is precision made with no allowance for replacement of individual parts.

Ball Bearing, Needle Bearing, and Oil Seal

Ball and Needle Bearing Replacement

NOTICE

Do not remove the ball or needle bearings unless it is necessary. Removal may damage them.

Using a press or puller, remove the ball bearing and/or three needle bearings.

NOTE

In the absence of the above mentioned tools, satisfactory results may be obtained by heating the case to approximately 93°C (200°F) max., and tapping the bearing in or out.

NOTICE

Do not heat the case with a torch. This will warp the case. Soak the case in oil and heat the oil.

Using a press and the bearing driver set [A], install the new ball bearing until it stops at the bottom of its housing.

Three new needle bearings must be pressed into the crankcase so that the end is flush with the end of the hole.

Special Tool — Bearing Driver Set: 57001-1129

Ball and Needle Bearing Wear Inspection

NOTICE

Do not remove the bearings for inspection. Removal may damage them.

Check the ball bearings.

Since the ball bearings are made to extremely close tolerances, the wear must be judged by feel rather than measurement. Clean each bearing in a high-flash point solvent, dry it (do not spin the bearing while it is dry), and oil it with engine oil.

Spin [A] the bearing by hand to check its condition.

If the bearing is noisy, does not spin smoothly, or has any

• rough spots, replace it.

Check the needle bearings.

The rollers in a needle bearing normally wear very little, and wear is difficult to measure. Instead of measuring, inspect the bearing for abrasion, color change, or other damage.

If there is any doubt as to the condition of a needle bearing, replace it.

Oil Seal Inspection

Inspect the oil seals.

Replace it if the lips are misshapen, discolored (indicating that the rubber has deteriorated), hardened or otherwise damaged.

Wheel Alignment

Toe-in is the difference between the distance of front and the one of rear at the axle height position in the front wheels.

When there is toe-in, the distance A (Rear) is the greater than B (Front) as shown.

The purpose of toe-in is to prevent the front wheels from getting out of parallel at any time, and to prevent any slipping or scuffing action between the tires and the ground. If toe-in is incorrect, the front wheels will be dragged along the ground, scuffing and wearing the tread knobs.

Caster and camber are build-in and require no adjustment.

A (Rear ) – B (Front) = Amount of Toe-in

(Distance A and B are measured at axle height with the vehicle sitting on the ground, or at 1G.)

Toe-in Inspection

Lift the front wheels off the ground.

Apply a heavy coat of chalk near the center of the front tires.

Using a needle nose scriber, make a thin mark near the center of the chalk coating while turning the wheel.

Set the wheels so that the marks on the tires are at the front side and at the level of the axle height.

Ground the front wheels.

Set the steering wheel straight ahead.

At the level of the axle height, measure the distance between the scribed lines with a measure.

Move the vehicle rearward until the marks on the front

• tires are at the rear side and at the same level as the axle.

Measure the distance between the scribed lines.

Subtract the measurement of the front from the measurement of the rear to get the toe-in.

Toe-in of Front Wheels

Standard: 20

40 mm (0.79

1.57 in.) at 1G

If the toe-in is not the specified range,go on to the Toe-in

Adjustment procedure.

Toe-in Adjustment

Loosen the locknuts [A] on each tie-rod and turn the adjusting rods [B] the same number of turns and the same direction on both sides to achieve the specified toe-in.

Wheel Alignment

NOTE

The toe-in will be near the specified range, if the length of the tie-rod distance between the dust boot end [A] of steering gear assembly and the locknut [B] is 80 mm

(3.15 in.) [C] on both the left and right tie-rods.

Tighten:

Torque — Tie-rod End Locknuts: 44 N·m (4.5 kgf·m, 32 ft·lb)

Check the toe-in again.

Test drive the vehicle.

Tires

Tire Removal

Remove the wheel.

Unscrew the valve core to deflate the tire.

Use a proper valve core tool [A].

Lubricate the tire beads and rim flanges on both sides of the wheel with a soap and water solution, or water [A].

This helps the tire beads slip off the rim flanges.

NOTICE

Do not lubricate the tire beads and rim flanges with engine oil or petroleum distillates because they will deteriorate the tire.

Remove the tire from the rim using a suitable commercially available tire changer.

NOTE

The tires cannot be removed with hand tools because they fit the rims tightly.

Tire Installation

Inspect the rim (see Wheel (Rim) Inspection).

Replace the air valve with a new one.

NOTICE

Replace the air valve with whenever the tire is replaced. Do not reuse the air valve.

Check the tire for wear and damage (see Tire Inspection in the Periodic Maintenance chapter).

Lubricate the tire beads and rim flanges with a soap and water solution, or water.

WARNING

Lubricants other than water or a water and soap solution can cause the bead to separate from the rim and cause an accident resulting in serious injury or death. Use only water or a water and soap solution to lubricate the bead when installing the tire.

Tires

Check the tire rotation mark [A] on the tire, and install the tire on the rim accordingly.

The tires should be installed on the rims so that each air valve is toward the outside of the vehicle.

NOTE

The direction of the tire rotation [B] is shown by an arrow on the tire sidewall.

Install the tire on the rim using a suitable commercially available tire changer.

Lubricate the tire beads again and center the tire on the rim.

Support the wheel rim [A] on a suitable stand [B] to prevent the tire from slipping off.

Inflate the tire until the tire beads seat on the rim.

Maximum Tire Air Pressure (to seat beads when cold)

Front and Rear 250 kPa (2.5 kgf/cm², 36 psi)

WARNING

Overinflating a tire can cause it to explode, causing serious injury or death. Be sure to install the valve core whenever inflating the tire, and do not inflate the tire to more than maximum pressure.

Check to see that rim lines [A] on both sides of the tire are parallel with the rim flanges [B].

If the rim lines and the rim flanges are not parallel, deflate the tire, lubricate the sealing surfaces again, and reinflate

• the tire.

After the beads are properly seated, check for air leaks.

Apply a soap and water solution around the tire bead and check for bubbles.

Deflate the tire to the specified pressure.

Output Bevel Gears Adjustment

The backlash and tooth contact pattern of the bevel gears must be correct to prevent the gears from making noise and being damaged.

When replacing any one of the backlash-related parts, be sure to check and adjust the backlash and tooth contact.

First adjust the backlash, and then tooth contact by replacing shims.

These two adjustments are of critical importance and must be carried out in the correct sequence, using the procedures shown.

Bevel Gear Backlash Adjustment

The amount of backlash is influenced by driven bevel gear position more than by drive bevel gear position.

Remove the output drive idle gear (see Output Drive

Bevel Gear Removal).

Set up a dial gauge [A] against the output drive shaft spline groove to check gear backlash.

To measure the backlash, turn the shaft clockwise and counterclockwise slightly so as not to move the mate gear.

The difference between the highest and lowest gauge reading is the amount of backlash.

If the backlash is not within the limit, replace the shim(s) at the driven bevel gear.

Change the thickness a little at a time.

Recheck the backlash, and readjust as necessary.

Output Bevel Gear Backlash

Standard: 0.05

0.11 mm (0.002

0.004 in.)

(at output drive shaft spline)

Tooth Contact Adjustment

Tooth contact location is influenced by drive gear position more than by driven gear position.

Clean any dirt and oil off the bevel gear teeth.

Apply checking compound to 4 or 5 teeth on the output driven bevel gear.

NOTE

Apply checking compound to the teeth in a thin, even coat with a fairly stiff paint brush. If painted too thickly, the exact tooth pattern may not appear.

The checking compound must be smooth and firm with the consistency of tooth paste.

Special compounds are available at automotive supply stores for the purpose of checking differential gear tooth patterns and contact. Use this for checking the bevel gears.

Turn the output driven shaft for 3 or 4 turns in the drive and reverse (coast) directions, while creating a drag on the drive bevel gear shaft.

Check the drive pattern and coast pattern of the bevel gear teeth. The tooth contact patterns of both drive and coast sides should be centrally located between the top and bottom of the tooth, and a little closer to the toe of the tooth.

If the tooth contact pattern is incorrect, replace the shim(s) at the drive bevel gear and shim(s) at the driven bevel gear, following the examples shown. Then erase the tooth contact patterns, and check them again. Also check the backlash every time the shims are replaced. Repeat the shim change procedure as necessary.

NOTE

If the backlash is out of the standard range after changing shims, correct the backlash before checking the tooth contact pattern.

Front Final Bevel Gear Adjustment

The backlash (distance one gear will move back and forth without moving the mate gear) and tooth contact pattern of the bevel gears must be correct to prevent the gears from making noise and being damaged.

Above two adjustments are of critical importance and must be carried out following the correct sequence and method.

When any one of the backlash-related parts are replaced, check and adjust the bevel gear backlash, and tooth contact by replacing shims.

The amount of backlash is influenced by the ring gear position more than by the pinion gear position.

Tooth contact location is influenced by the pinion gear position more than by the ring gear position.

It is not necessary to install the variable front differential control unit.

When installing the pinion gear bearing holder, a non-permanent locking agent is not used.

Use the following two spare bolts when installing the front final gear case center cover [A].

M10 Bolt [B] L = 35 mm (1.38 in.), P = 1.25 mm (0.049

in.)

M8 Bolt [C] L = 40 mm (1.57 in.), P = 1.25 mm (0.049 in.)

Front Final Gear Case

Temporarily install the right front axle in the gear case and hold it in a vise.

Mount a dial gauge [A] so that the tip of the gauge is against the splined portion [B] of the pinion gear shaft.

To measure backlash, turn the pinion gear shaft right and left [C] while holding the front axle steady. The difference between the highest and lowest gauge reading is the amount of backlash.

Measure backlash at three locations (equally spaced on the splines).

Front Final Bevel Gear Backlash

Standard: 0.08

0.16 mm (0.003

0.006 in.)

(at pinion gear spline)

If the backlash is not within the standard, replace the ring gear shims according to the below NOTE. To increase backlash, increase the thickness of the shim(s) [1] and decrease the thickness of the shim(s) [2]. To decrease backlash, decrease the thickness of the shim(s) [1] and increase the thickness of the shim(s) [2].

NOTE

The total of the ring gear shims, [1] and [2], should be less than [D] (the clearance between the ring gear assembly and gear case covers).

Example:

D = 2.34 mm →[1] + [2] = 2.30 mm

D = 2.26 mm →[1] + [2] = 2.25 mm

The second decimal of the total of [1] and [2] should be

.x0 or .x5 nearest of D.

Recheck the backlash, and readjust if necessary.

Front Final Gear Case Tooth Contact Adjustment

Clean any dirt and oil off the bevel gear teeth.

Apply checking compound to 4 or 5 teeth on the pinion gear.

NOTE

Apply checking compound to the teeth in a thin, even coat with a fairly stiff paint brush. If painted too thickly, the exact tooth pattern may not appear.

The checking compound must be smooth and firm, with the consistency of tooth paste.

Special compounds are available at automotive supply stores for the purpose of checking differential gear tooth patterns and contact. Use one of these for checking the bevel gears.

FINAL DRIVE 11-61

11-62 FINAL DRIVE

Front Final Gear Case

Assemble the front final gear case (see Front Final Gear

Case Backlash Adjustment).

Turn the pinion gear shaft [A] for one revolution in the drive and reverse (coast) direction, while creating a drag on the ring gear.

Remove the ring gear and pinion gear unit to check the drive pattern and coast pattern of the bevel gear teeth.

The tooth contact patterns of both (drive and coast) sides should be centrally located between the top and bottom of the tooth. The drive pattern can be a little closer to the toe and the coast pattern can be a somewhat longer and closer to the toe.

If the tooth contact pattern is incorrect, replace the pinion gear shim(s), following the examples shown.

Then erase the tooth contact patterns and check them again. Also check the backlash every time the shim(s) are replaced. Repeat the shim change procedure as necessary.

NOTE

If the backlash is out of the standard range after changing the pinion gear shim(s), change the ring gear shim(s) to correct the backlash before checking the tooth contact pattern.

Rear Final Bevel Gear Adjustment

The backlash and tooth contact pattern of the bevel gears must be correct to prevent the gears from making noise and being damaged.

After replacing any of the backlash-related parts, be sure to check and adjust the backlash and tooth contact of the bevel gears. First, adjust backlash, and then tooth contact by replacing shims.

The amount of backlash is influenced by the ring gear position more than by the pinion gear position.

Tooth contact locations is influenced by the pinion gear position more than by the ring gear position.

Rear Final Gear Case

Rear Final Gear Case Backlash Adjustment

Clean dirt and oil off bevel gear teeth.

Measure length [A], [B] and [C], and calculate the clearance [D] between the ring gear assembly and gear case covers.

[D] = [A] + [B] – [C]

[E] Rear Final Gear Case

[F] Ring Gear Assembly

[G] Rear Final Gear Case Right Cover

Assemble the rear final gear case (see Rear Final Gear

Case Assembly).

When installing the pinion gear bearing holder, a non-permanent locking agent is not used.

Use the following two spare bolts when installing the rear final gear case right cover [A].

M12 Bolt [B] L = 35 mm (1.38 in.), P = 1.25 mm (0.049

in.)

M10 Bolt [C] L = 35 mm (1.38 in.), P = 1.25 mm (0.049

in.)

Rear Final Gear Case

Temporarily install the rear axles in the gear case and hold them.

Mount a dial gauge [A] so that the tip of the gauge is against the splined portion [B] of the pinion gear shaft.

To measure backlash, turn the pinion gear shaft right and left [C] while holding the rear axles steady. The difference between the highest and lowest gauge reading is the amount of backlash.

Measure backlash at three locations (equally spaced on the splines).

Rear Final Bevel Gear Backlash

Standard: 0.05

0.11 mm (0.002

0.004 in.)

(at pinion gear spline)

If the backlash is not within the standard, replace the ring gear shims according to the below NOTE. To increase backlash, decrease the thickness of the shim(s) [1] and increase the thickness of the shim(s) [2]. To decrease backlash, increase the thickness of the shim(s) [1] and decrease the thickness of the shim(s) [2].

NOTE

The total of the ring gear shims, [1] and [2], should be less than [D] (the clearance between the ring gear assembly and gear case covers).

Example:

D = 2.34 mm →[1] + [2] = 2.30 mm

D = 2.26 mm →[1] + [2] = 2.25 mm

The second decimal of the total of [1] and [2] should be

.×0 or .×5 nearest of D.

Recheck the backlash, and readjust if necessary.

Tooth Contact Adjustment

Clean any dirt and oil off the bevel gear teeth.

Apply checking compound to 4 or 5 teeth of the pinion gear.

NOTE

Apply checking compound to the teeth in a thin, even coat with a fairly stiff paint brush. If painted too thickly, the exact tooth pattern may not appear.

The checking compound must be smooth and firm, with the consistency of tooth paste.

Special compounds are available at automotive supply stores for the purpose of checking gear tooth patterns and contact. Use one of these for checking the bevel gears.

FINAL DRIVE 11-91

11-92 FINAL DRIVE

Rear Final Gear Case

Assemble the rear final gear case (see Rear Final Gear

Case Assembly).

Turn the pinion gear for one revolution in the drive and reverse (coast) direction, while creating drag on the ring gear.

Remove the ring gear and pinion gear unit to check the drive pattern and coast pattern of the bevel gear teeth.

The tooth contact patterns of both (drive and coast) sides should be centrally located between the top and bottom of the tooth. The drive pattern can be a little closer to the toe and the coast pattern can be a somewhat longer and closer to the toe.

If the tooth contact pattern is incorrect, replace the pinion gear shim(s), following the examples shown (see Front

Final Gear Case Tooth Contact Adjustment).

Then erase the tooth contact patterns, and check them again. Also check the backlash every time the shim(s) are replaced. Repeat the shim change procedure as necessary.

NOTE

If the backlash is out of the standard range after changing the pinion gear shim(s), change the ring gear shim(s) to correct the backlash before checking the tooth contact pattern.

Bearing and Oil Seal

Ball or Needle Bearing Inspection

Since the bearings are made to extremely close tolerances, the clearance cannot normally be measured.

NOTICE

Do not remove any bearings for inspection except the right rear axle bearing.

Turn each bearing in the case or hub back and forth [A] while checking for plays, roughness, or binding.

If bearing play, roughness, or binding is found, replace the bearing.

FINAL DRIVE 11-93

Check the needle bearings [A].

The rollers in the needle bearing normally wear very little, and wear is difficult to measure. Instead of measuring, inspect the bearing for abrasion, color change, or other damage.

If the bearing is damaged, replace the bearing.

11-94 FINAL DRIVE

Bearing and Oil Seal

Oil Seal Inspection

Inspect the oil seals [A].

Replace any if the lips are misshapen, discolored (indicating that the rubber has deteriorated), hardened, or been otherwise damaged.

Brake Fluid

WARNING

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 time.

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 contamination of the fluid.

5. Don’t add or change the fluid in the rain or when a strong wind is blowing.

6. Except for 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 washed away immediately.

9. If any of the brake line fittings or the bleed valve is opened at any time, the AIR MUST BE BLED

FROM THE BRAKE LINE.

Front Brake Fluid Recommendation

Use extra heavy-duty brake fluid only from a container marked DOT3.

Brake Fluid

Brake Line Air Bleeding

The brake fluid has a very low compression coefficient so that almost all the movement of the brake pedal is transmitted directly to the caliper for braking action. Air, however, is easily compressed. When air enters the brake lines, brake 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.

WARNING

Air in the brake lines diminish braking performance and can cause an accident resulting in injury or death. If the brake lever has a soft or «spongy» feeling mushy when it is applied, there might be air in the brake lines or the brake may be defective. Do not operate the vehicle and service the brake system immediately.

NOTE

The procedure to bleed the brake line is as follows.

Remove the reservoir cap [A] and fill the reservoir with new brake fluid.

Slowly pump the brake pedal several times until no air bubbles can be seen rising up through the fluid from the holes at the bottom of the reservoir.

Bleed the air completely from the front master cylinder by this operation.

NOTE

Start with the rear master cylinder and finish with the front left or right caliper.

Remove the rubber cap from the bleed valve on the rear master cylinder.

Connect a clear plastic hose [A] to the bleed valve on the rear master cylinder, and run the other end of the hose into a container.

Brake Fluid

Bleed the brake line and the rear master cylinder as follows:

Repeat this operation until no more air can be seen coming out into the plastic hose.

1. Pump the brake pedal until it becomes hard, and apply the brake pedal and hold it [A].

2. Quickly open and close [B] the bleed valve while holding the brake pedal applied.

3. Release the brake pedal [C].

NOTE

The fluid level must be checked several times during the bleeding operation and replenished as necessary. 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.

Remove the clear plastic hose.

Tighten:

Torque — Rear Master Cylinder Bleed Valve: 7.8 N·m (0.80

kgf·m, 69 in·lb)

Install the rubber cap.

Repeat the previous step for front calipers [A].

After the air bleeding, tighten the caliper bleed valves.

Torque — Caliper Bleed Valves: 7.8 N·m (0.80 kgf·m, 69 in·lb)

When air bleeding is finished, add fluid up to the upper level in the reservoir.

Tighten:

Torque — Front Master Cylinder Reservoir Cap: 3.4 N·m

(0.35 kgf·m, 30 in·lb)

Apply the brake forcefully for a few seconds, and check for fluid leakage around the fittings.

Calipers

Caliper Piston Seal Damage Inspection

The piston seals [A] around the piston maintain the proper pad/disc clearance. If the seals are not satisfactory, pad wear will increase, and constant pad drag on the disc will raise brake and brake fluid temperature.

Replace the piston seals in accordance with the Periodic

Maintenance Chart or under any of the following conditions.

Brake fluid leakage around the pad

Brakes overheat

There is a large difference in inner and outer pad wear.

The seal is stuck to the pistons.

If the piston seal is replaced, replace the dust seal as well. Also, replace all seals every other time the pads are changed.

Dust Seal and Friction Boot Damage Inspection

Replace the dust seals [A] in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart or check that the dust seals and friction boots [B] are not cracked, worn swollen, or otherwise damaged.

If they show any damage, replace them.

Front Brake Caliper Piston and Cylinder Damage

Inspection

Visually inspect the piston [A] and cylinder surfaces [B].

Replace the caliper if the cylinder and piston are badly scored or rusty.

Front Brake Caliper Holder Shaft Wear Inspection

The caliper body must slide smoothly on the caliper holder shafts [A]. If the body does not slide smoothly, one pad will wear more than the other, pad wear will increase, and constant drag on the disc will raise brake and brake fluid temperature.

Check to see that the caliper holder shafts are not badly worn or stepped, and that the rubber boots [B] are not damaged.

If the rubber boot is damaged, replace the rubber boot.

If caliper holder shaft is damaged, replace the caliper holder shaft and rubber boot as a unit.

Precautions

There are a number of important precautions that should be taken when servicing electrical systems. Learn and observe all the rules below.

Do not reverse the battery lead connections. This will burn out the diodes in the electrical parts.

Always check battery condition before condemning other parts of an electrical system. A fully charged battery is required for conducting accurate electrical system tests.

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.

To prevent damaging 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.

Because of the high current, never keep the ignition switch key turned “START” position when the starter motor will not turn over, or the current may burn out the starter motor windings.

Take care not to short the leads that are directly connected to the battery positive (+) terminal to chassis ground.

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 too must be repaired or replaced, or the new replacement will soon fail again.

Make sure all connectors in the circuit are clean and tight, and examine wires for signs of burning, fraying, etc. Defective wires and bad connections will affect electrical system operation.

Measure coil and winding resistance when the part is cold

(at room temperature).

Wiring Inspection

Visually inspect the wiring for signs of burning, fraying, etc.

If any wiring is defective, replace the damaged wiring.

Pull each connector [A] apart and inspect for corrosion, dirt, and damage.

If the connector is corroded or dirty, clean it carefully. If it

• is damaged, replace it.

Check the wiring for continuity.

Use the wiring diagram to find the ends of the lead which is suspected of being a problem.

Connect the hand tester between the ends of the leads.

Special Tool — Hand Tester: 57001-1394

Set the tester to the ×1 Ω range.

If the tester does not read 0 Ω, the lead is defective. Replace the lead or the wiring harness [B] if necessary.

Battery

Battery Activation (CA Model)

Electrolyte Filling

Make sure that the model name [A] of the electrolyte container matches the model name [B] of the battery. These names must be the same.

Battery Model Name

KRF750N/P/R/S: KMX14-BS

NOTICE

Each battery comes with its own specific electrolyte container; using the wrong container may overfill the battery with incorrect electrolyte, which can shorten battery life and deteriorate battery performance. Be sure to use the electrolyte container with the same model name as the battery since the electrolyte volume and specific gravity vary with the battery type.

NOTICE

Do not remove the aluminum sealing sheet [A] from the filler ports [B] until just prior to use. Be sure to use the dedicated electrolyte container for correct electrolyte volume.

DANGER

Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte can cause severe burns. To prevent burns, wear protective clothing and safety glasses when handling electrolyte. If the electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or eyes, wash the area with liberal amounts of water and seek medical attention for more severe burns.

Place the battery on a level surface.

Check to see that the sealing sheet has no peeling, tears, or holes in it.

Remove the sealing sheet.

NOTE

The battery is vacuum sealed. If the sealing sheet has leaked air into the battery, it may require a longer initial charge.

Remove the electrolyte container from the vinyl bag.

Detach the strip of caps [A] from the container and set aside, these will be used later to seal the battery.

NOTE

Do not pierce or otherwise open the sealed cells [B] of the electrolyte container. Do not attempt to separate individual cells.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 16-25

16-26 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Battery

Place the electrolyte container upside down with the six sealed cells into the filler ports of the battery. Hold the container level, push down to break the seals of all six cells. You will see air bubbles rising into each cell as the ports fill.

NOTE

Do not tilt the electrolyte container.

Check the electrolyte flow.

If no air bubbles [A] are coming up from the filler ports, or if the container cells have not emptied completely, tap the container [B] a few times.

NOTE

Be careful not to have the battery fall down.

Keep the container in place. Don’t remove the container from the battery, the battery requires all the electrolyte from the container for proper operation.

NOTICE

Removal of the container before it is completely empty can shorten the service life of the battery.

Do not remove the container until it is completely empty.

After filling, let the battery sit for 20

60 minutes with the electrolyte container kept in place, which is required for the electrolyte to fully permeate into the plates.

Make sure that the container cells have emptied completely, and remove the container from the battery.

Place the strip of caps [A] loosely over the filler ports, press down firmly with both hands to seat the strip of caps into the battery (don’t pound or hammer). When properly installed, the strip of caps will be level with the top of the battery.

NOTICE

Once the strip of caps is installed onto the battery, never remove the caps, nor add water or electrolyte to the battery.

NOTE

Charging the battery immediately after filling can shorten service life.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 16-27

Battery

Initial Charge

Newly activated sealed batteries require an initial charge.

Standard Charge: 1.2 A × 5

10 hours

If using a recommended battery charger, follow the charger’s instructions for newly activated sealed battery.

Kawasaki-recommended chargers:

Battery Mate 150-9

OptiMate PRO 4-S/PRO S/PRO2

Yuasa MB-2040/2060

Christie C10122S

If the above chargers are not available, use equivalent one.

Let battery sit 30 minutes after initial charge, then check voltage using a voltmeter. (Voltage immediately after charging becomes temporarily high. For accurate measuring, let the battery sit for given time.)

NOTE

Charging rates will vary depending on how long the battery has been stored, temperature, and the type of charger used. If voltage is not at least 12.8 V, repeat charging cycle.

To ensure maximum battery life and customer satisfaction, it is recommended the battery be load tested at three times its amp-hour rating for 15 seconds.

Re-check voltage and if less than 12.8 V repeat the charging cycle and load test. If still below 12.8 V the battery is defective.

Precautions

1) 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 seal cap to add water is very dangerous. Never do that.

2) 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 Refreshing Charge).

When a fast charge is inevitably required, do it following precisely the maximum charge current and time conditions indicated on the battery.

NOTICE

This battery is designed to sustain no unusual deterioration if refresh-charged 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 seal caps during 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) When you do not use the vehicle for months

Give a refresh charge before you store the vehicle and store it with the negative cable removed.

Give a refresh charge once a month during storage.

4) 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.)

16-28 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Battery

DANGER

Batteries produce an explosive gas mixture of hydrogen and oxygen that can cause serious injury and burns if ignited. Keep the battery away from sparks and open flames during charging. 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. 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 and seek medial attention for more severe burns.

Interchange

A sealed battery can fully display its performance only when combined with a proper vehicle electrical system. Therefore, replace a sealed battery only on a vehicle which was originally equipped with a sealed battery.

Be careful, if a sealed battery is installed on a vehicle which had an ordinary battery as original equipment, the sealed battery’s life will be shortened.

Charging Condition Inspection

Battery charging condition can be checked by measuring battery terminal voltage.

Remove the battery (see Battery Removal).

NOTICE

Be sure to disconnect the negative (−) cable first.

Measure the battery terminal voltage.

NOTE

Measure with a digital voltmeter [A] which can be read to one decimal place voltage.

If the reading is below the specified, refreshing charge is required.

Turn off the ignition switch, and disconnect the hand tester.

If the regulator/rectifier output voltage is between the values given in the table, the charging system is working normally.

If the output voltage is much higher than the values specified in the table, the regulator/rectifier is defective or the regulator/rectifier leads are loose or open.

If the battery voltage does not increase as the engine speed increases, then the regulator/rectifier is defective or the alternator output is insufficient for the loads. Check the alternator and regulator/rectifier to determine which part is defective.

Alternator Inspection

There are three types of alternator failures: short, open, 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, perform the following procedures.

Disconnect the alternator lead connectors [A].

Connect a hand tester [B] as shown in the table.

Start the engine.

Run it at the rpm given in the table.

Note the voltage readings (total 3 measurements).

If the output voltage is within the values in the table, the alternator is operating correctly, and the regulator/rectifier is damaged. A much lower reading indicates that the alternator is defective.

Check the stator coil resistance as follows:

Stop the engine.

Disconnect the alternator connector.

Connect a hand tester as shown in the table.

Note the readings (total 3 measurement).

If there is more resistance than shown in the table, or no reading (infinity) for any two leads, the stator has an open and must be replaced. Much less resistance means the stator is shorted and must be replaced.

Using the highest resistance range of the hand tester, measure the resistance between each of the black leads and chassis ground.

Any reading less than infinity (∞) indicates a short, necessitating stator replacement.

If the stator coils have normal resistance, but the voltage check shows the alternator to be defective; then the rotor magnetism has probably weakened, and the rotor must be replaced.

Remove the speed sensor (see Speed Sensor Removal).

Connect the speed sensor connector [A] with the battery

[B], 10 kΩ resistor [C] and hand tester [D] as shown.

Set the tester to the DC 25 V range.

Special Tool — Hand Tester: 57001-1394

Trace [A] each side of the speed sensor surface with the screwdriver.

Then the tester indicator should flick [B].

If the tester indicator does not flick, replace the speed sensor.

Switch Inspection

Using the hand tester, check to see that only the connections shown in the table have continuity.

For the ignition switch and headlight switch, refer to tables in the Wiring Diagram.

If the switch has an open or short, repair or replace it with a new one.

Slide the cover [B] rearward and remove it.

Remove:

Fuse Box Lid [A]

Pull the fuses [A] straight out of the fuse box with needle nose pliers.

Fuse Installation

If a fuse fails during operation, inspect the electrical system to determine the cause, and then replace it with a new fuse of proper amperage.

Install the fuses on the original position as specified on the fuse box lid [A].

Insert the projection [A] of the cover [B] under the electric parts case [C] and install the cover.

Fuses

Fuse Inspection

Inspect the fuse element.

If it is blown out, replace the fuse. Before replacing a blown fuse, always check the amperage in the affected circuit. If the amperage is equal to or greater than the fuse rating, check the wiring and related components for a short circuit.

Housing [A]

Fuse Element [B]

Terminals [C]

Blown Element [D]

NOTICE

When replacing a fuse, be sure the new fuse matches the specified fuse rating for that circuit.

Installation of a fuse with a higher rating may cause damage to wiring and components.

Foreword

This manual is designed primarily for use by trained mechanics in a properly equipped shop. However, it contains enough detail and basic information to make it useful to the owner who desires to perform his own basic maintenance and repair work. A basic knowledge of mechanics, the proper use of tools, and workshop procedures must be understood in order to carry out maintenance and repair satisfactorily. Whenever the owner has insufficient experience or doubts his ability to do the work, all adjustments, maintenance, and repair should be carried out only by qualified mechanics.

In order to perform the work efficiently and to avoid costly mistakes, read the text, thoroughly familiarize yourself with the procedures before starting work, and then do the work carefully 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 adversely 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 operation on a motorcycle, read the precautions given below. To facilitate actual operations, notes, illustrations, 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, disconnect the battery cables from the battery to prevent the engine 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 (–) cable 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-flush point solvent when cleaning parts. High -flush 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 vehicle disassembly can cause excessive wear and decrease performance of the vehicle.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3

Before Servicing

Arrangement and Cleaning 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 Removed 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 accident. Visually inspect removed parts for corrosion, discoloration, 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 beyond its service limit.

Replacement Parts

Replacement parts must be KAWASAKI genuine or recommended by KAWASAKI. Gaskets, O-rings, oil seals, grease seals, circlips or cotter pins must be replaced with new ones whenever disassembled.

Assembly Order

In most cases assembly order is the reverse of disassembly, 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 sequence 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 quarter 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.

Force

Use common sense during disassembly and assembly, excessive force can cause expensive or hard to repair damage. 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 thoroughly 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 surfaces so that no oil residue remains before applying liquid gasket or non-permanent locking agent. Do not apply them excessively. 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 contact 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 with 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. Lubrication 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. Rotate the crankshaft to positive direction (clockwise viewed from output side).

Electrical Wires

A two-color wire is identified first by the primary color and then the stripe color. Unless instructed otherwise, electrical wires must be connected to those of the same color.

Instrument

Use a meter that has enough accuracy for an accurate measurement. Read the manufacture’s instructions thoroughly before using the meter. Incorrect values may lead to improper adjustments.

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

Fuel System (DFI)

Air Cleaner Element Cleaning

NOTE

In dusty areas, the element should be cleaned more frequently than the recommended interval.

After riding through rain or on muddily roads, the element should be cleaned immediately.

WARNING

If dirt or dust is allowed to pass through into the throttle assy, the throttle may become stuck, possibly causing accident.

CAUTION

If dirt gets through into the engine, excessive engine wear and possibly engine damage will occur.

Remove the element (see Air Cleaner Element Replacement).

Clean the element by tapping it lightly to loosen dust.

Blow away the remaining dust by applying compressed air [A] from the outside to the inside (from the clean side to the dirty side).

Visually inspect the element for no tears or no breaks and inspect the sponge gaskets [B] also.

If the element or gasket has any tears or breaks, replace the element.

Throttle Control System Inspection

Check that the throttle grip [A] moves smoothly from full open to close, and the throttle closes quickly and com-

pletely by the return spring in all steering positions.

If the throttle grip does not return properly, check the throttle cable routing, grip free play, and cable damage. Then lubricate the throttle cable.

Check the throttle grip free play [B].

Throttle Grip Free Play

Standard: 2 3 mm (0.08 0.12 in.)

If the free play is incorrect, adjust the throttle cable as follows.

Loosen the locknut [A].

Turn the adjuster [B] until the proper amount of free play can be obtained.

Tighten the locknut against the adjuster securely.

If the throttle grip free play can not be adjusted with the adjuster, use the adjusters in the middle of the throttle cables.

Loosen the locknut, and screw the adjuster at the upper end of the accelerator cable all the way in.

Tighten the locknut against the adjuster securely.

2-16 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

Loosen the locknuts [A], and turn the lower adjusters [B] until the proper amount of throttle grip free play is obtained.

Tighten the locknuts against the adjusters securely.

If the throttle grip free play can not be adjusted with the lower adjusters, use the adjuster at the upper end of the cable again.

Engine Vacuum Synchronization Inspection

NOTE

These procedures are explained on the assumption that the inlet and exhaust systems of the engine are in good condition.

Situate the motorcycle so that it is vertical.

Remove the fuel tank (see Fuel Tank Removal in the Fuel System (DFI) chapter).

Pull off the rubber caps [A] from the fittings of each throttle body.

Upside View [B]

Pull off the air switching valve hose [A] from the air cleaner housing.

Plug the air switching valve hose end and air cleaner housing fitting.

Connect a vacuum gauge (special tool) and hoses [A] to the fittings on the throttle body.

Special Tool — Vacuum Gauge: 57001-1369

Connect a highly accurate tachometer [B] to one of the stick coil primary leads.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-17

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

Remove the fuel outlet hose (see Fuel Hose Replacement).

Connect the following parts temporary. Fuel Pump Lead Connector [A]

Fuel Level Sensor Lead Connector [B] Extension Tube [C]

Special Tool — Extension Tube: 57001-1578

Start the engine and warm it up thoroughly.

Check[A]. the idle speed, using a highly accurate tachometer

Idle Speed

Standard: 1 100 ±50 r/min (rpm)

If the idle speed is out of the specified range, adjust it with the adjusting screw (see Idle Speed Adjustment).

CAUTION

Do not measure the idle speed by the tachometer of the meter unit.

While idling the engine, inspect the throttle body vacuum, using the vacuum gauge [B].

Throttle Body Vacuum

Standard: 35.3 ±1.3 kPa (265 ±10 mmHg) at idle speed

If any vacuum is not within specifications, first synchronize the balance of the left (#1, #2 throttle valves) and right (#3, #4 throttle valves) assemblies.

Example:

#1: 260 mmHg #2: 290 mmHg #3: 250 mmHg #4: 270 mmHg

With the engine at the correct idle speed, equalize higher vacuum of #1 or #2 (for example 290 mmHg) to higher vacuum of #3 or #4 (for example 270 mmHg) by turning the center adjusting screw [A].

Upside View [B]

NOTE

After adjustment, the final vacuum measurement between the highest throttle valves may not be 290 mmHg (for example). The goal is to have the highest two vacuums between the left (#1 and #2) and right (#3 and #4) banks be the same.

Open and close the throttle after each measurement, and adjust the idle speed as necessary.

Once the throttle valves have been synchronized, inspect output voltage of the main throttle sensor to ensure proper operation (procedure is explained at the end of this section).

2-18 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

If any one vacuum measurement is out of the specified range after left (#1, #2) and right (#2, #3) synchronization, adjust the bypass screws [A].

Upside View [B]

Adjust the lower vacuum between #1 and #2 to the higher vacuum of #1 and #2.

Adjust the lower vacuum between #3 and #4 to the higher vacuum of #3 and #4.

Open and close the throttle valves after each measurement, and adjust the idle speed as necessary.

Check the vacuums as before.

If all vacuums are within the specification range, finish the engine vacuum synchronization.

If any vacuum can not be adjusted within the specification, remove the bypass screws #1 #4 and clean them.

Turn in the bypass screw [A] with counting the number of turns until it seals fully but not tightly. Record the number of turns.

Torque — Bypass Screws: 0.2 N·m (0.02 kgf·m, 1.8 in·lb)

CAUTION

Do not over tighten them. They could be damaged, requiring replacement.

Remove:Bypass Screw

Spring [B]

Washer [C]

O-ring [D]

Check the bypass screw and its hole for carbon deposits. If any carbons accumulate, wipe the carbons off from the bypass screw and the hole, using a cotton pad penetrated with a high-flash point solvent.

Replace the O-ring with a new one.

Check the tapered portion [E] of the bypass screw for wear or damage.

If the bypass screw is worn or damaged, replace it.

Turn in the bypass screw until it seats fully but not tightly.

Torque — Bypass Screws: 0.2 N·m (0.02 kgf·m, 1.8 in·lb)

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-19

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

Back out the same number of turns counted when first turned in. This is to set the screw to its original position.

NOTE

A throttle body has different “turns out” of the bypass screw for each individual unit. On setting the bypass screw, use the “turns out” determined during disassembly.

Repeat the same procedure for other bypass screws.

Repeat the synchronization.

If the vacuums are correct, check the output voltage of the main throttle sensor (see Main Throttle Sensor Output Voltage Inspection in the Fuel System (DFI) chapter).

Special Tool — Throttle Sensor Setting Adapter: 57001 -1538

Main Throttle Sensor Output Voltage

Connections to Adapter:

Digital Meter (+) → R (sensor Y/W) lead

Digital Meter (–) → W (sensor BR/BK) lead

Standard: DC 0.985 1.015 V at idle throttle opening

If the output voltage is out of the standard, check the input voltage of the main throttle sensor (see Main Throttle Sensor Input Voltage Inspection in the Fuel System (DFI) chapter).

Remove the vacuum gauge hoses and install the rubber caps on the original position.

Idle Speed Inspection

Start the engine and warm it up thoroughly.

With[A]. the engine idling, turn the handlebar to both sides

If handlebar movement changes the idle speed, the throttle cables may be improperly adjusted or incorrectly routed or damaged. Be sure to correct any of these conditions before riding (see Throttle Control System Inspection and Cable, Wire, and Hose Routing section in the Appendix chapter).

WARNING

Operation with improperly adjusted, incorrectly routed or damaged cables could result in an unsafe riding condition.

Check the idle speed.

Idle Speed

Standard: 1 100 ±50 r/min (rpm)

If the idle speed is out of the specified range, adjust it.

2-20 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

Idle Speed Adjustment

Start the engine and warm it up thoroughly.

Turn the adjusting screw [A] until the idle speed is correct. Open and close the throttle a few times to make sure that the idle speed is within the specified range. Readjust if

necessary.

Fuel Hose Inspection (fuel leak, damage, installation condition)

If the motorcycle is not properly handled, the high pressure inside the fuel line can cause fuel to leak [A] or the hose to burst. Remove the fuel tank (see Fuel Tank Removal in the Fuel System (DFI) chapter) and check the fuel hoses.

Replace the hose if any fraying, cracks [B] or bulges [C] are noticed.

Check that the hoses are routed according to Cable, Wire, and Hose Routing section in the Appendix chapter.

Replace the hose if it has been sharply bent or kinked. Hose Joints [A]

Fuel Outlet Hose [B]

Fuel Inlet Hose [C] Front [D]

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-21

2-22 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

Cooling System

Coolant Level Inspection

NOTE

Check the level when the engine is cold (room or ambient temperature).

Remove the front seat (see Front Seat Removal in the Frame chapter).

Check the coolant level in the reserve tank [A] with the motorcycle held perpendicular (Do not use the side-

stand.).

If the coolant level is lower than the “L” level line [B], unscrew the reserve tank cap and add coolant to the “F” level line [C].

“L”: low “F”: full

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 ruins painted surfaces. Immediately wash away any coolant that spills on the frame, engine, wheels or other painted parts.

Radiator Hose and Pipe Inspection (coolant leak, damage, installation condition)

The high pressure inside the radiator hose can cause coolant to leak [A] or the hose to burst if the line is not properly maintained.

Visually inspect the hoses for signs of deterioration. Squeeze the hoses. A hose should not be hard and

brittle, nor should it be soft or swollen.

Replace the hose if any fraying, cracks [B] or bulges [C] are noticed.

Check that the hoses are securely connected and clamps are tightened correctly.
