TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE j
Please read this Owner’s Manual carefully before riding so that you will be
thoroughly familiar with the proper operation of your motorcycle’s controls, its fea-
tures, capabilities, and limitations. This manual offers many safe riding tips, but its
purpose is not to provide instruction in all the techniques and skills required to ride
a motorcycle safely. Kawasaki strongly recommends that all operators of this vehi-
cle enroll in a motorcycle rider training program to attain awareness of the mental
and physical requirements necessary for safe motorcycle operation.
To ensure a long, trouble-free life for your motorcycle, give it the proper care and
maintenance described in this manual. For those who would like more detailed in-
formation on their Kawasaki Motorcycle, a Service Manual is available for purchase
from any authorized Kawasaki motorcycle dealer. The Service Manual contains de-
tailed disassembly and maintenance information. Those who plan to do their own
work should, of course, be competent mechanics and possess the special tools
described in the Service Manual.
Keep this Owner’s Manual aboard your motorcycle at all times so that you can
refer to it whenever you need information.
This manual should be considered a permanent part of the motorcycle and should
remain with the motorcycle when it is sold.

are the only means of identifying your particular machine from others of the same
model type. These serial numbers may be needed by your dealer when ordering
parts. In the event of theft, the investigating authorities will require both numbers
as well as the model type and any peculiar features of your machine that can help
them identify it.
