EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION

To protect the environment in which we all live, Kawasaki has incorporated crankcase emission (1) and exhaust emission (2) control systems in compliance with applicable regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board. Additionally, Kawasaki has incorporated an evaporative emission control system (3) in compliance with applicable regulations of the California Air Resources Board on vehicles sold in California only.

1. Crankcase Emission Control System

This system eliminates the release of crankcase vapors into the atmosphere. Instead, the vapors are routed through an oil separator to the inlet side of the engine. While the engine is operating, the vapors are drawn into combustion chamber, where they are burned along with the fuel and air supplied by the fuel injection system.

2. Exhaust Emission Control System

This system reduces the amount of pollutants discharged into the atmosphere by the exhaust of this motorcycle. The fuel, ignition, and exhaust systems of this motorcycle have been carefully designed and constructed to ensure an efficient engine with low exhaust pollutant levels.

The exhaust system of this model motorcycle manufactured primarily for sale in California includes a catalytic converter system.

3. Evaporative Emission Control System

Vapors caused by fuel evaporation in the fuel system are not vented into the atmosphere. Instead, fuel vapors are routed into the running engine to be burned, or stored in a canister when the engine is stopped. Liquid fuel is caught by a vapor separator and returned to the fuel tank.

The Clean Air Act, which is the Federal law covering motor vehicle pollution, contains what is commonly referred to as the Act’s “tampering provisions”.

“Sec. 203(a) The following acts and the causing thereof are prohibited...

(3)(A) for any person to remove or render inoperative any device or element of design installed on or in a motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine in compliance with regulations under this title prior to its sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser, or for any manufacturer or dealer knowingly to remove or render inoperative any such device or element of design after such sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser.

(3)(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 motorcycle.

c.Addition of components or accessories that result in the vehicle exceeding the standards.

d.Permanently removing, disconnecting, or rendering inoperative any component or element of design of the emission control systems.

WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL DEALERS OBSERVE THESE PROVISIONS OF FEDERAL LAW, THE VIOLATION OF WHICH IS PUNISHABLE BY CIVIL PENALTIES NOT EXCEEDING $10 000 PER VIOLATION.

TAMPERING WITH NOISE CONTROL SYSTEM PROHIBITED

Federal law prohibits the following acts or the causing thereof. (1) The removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes of maintenance, repair, or replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or (2) the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person.

Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are the acts listed below.

•Replacement of the original exhaust system or muffler with a component not in compliance with Federal regulations.

•Removal of the muffler(s) or any internal portion of the muffler(s).

•Removal of the air box or air box cover.

•Modifications to the muffler(s) or air inlet system by cutting, drilling, or other means if such modifications result in increased noise levels.

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 the 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-13

Technical Information-Variable Valve Timing

Overview

The camshafts that are provided in the engine determine the amount of valve overlap, which affects the engine’s characteristics. As a result, some engines are high-speed oriented while others are low -speed oriented. (Generally speaking, engines with a greater valve overlap are high-speed oriented.)

Ordinarily, it is difficult for a given engine to deliver both high-speed and low-speed characteristics. However, the variable valve timing mechanism steplessly varies the amount of valve overlap in accordance with engine speed and throttle position sensor data. Thus, it produces power characteristics that suit running conditions, from the lowto the high-speed range.

Lock Mechanism

•During idle, the lock mechanism locks the camshaft at the most retarded position.

•When the engine is stopped, the force of the spring returns the solenoid valve to its most retarded position, thus placing the camshaft in the most retarded position.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-17

Technical Information-Electrical Windshield

Overview

Wind protection for rider and passenger is based on a supersport-style design philosophy. Aerodynamically curving wind around the riders reduces buffeting that occurs when wind curls around windshield that simply "block" the wind.

This model is equipped with the electrically adjustable windshield. The cable connects the windshield with the actuator that is powered by an electric motor. When the adjusting button on the handlebar is pushed, the actuator reels off the cable to change windshield height up or down.

CAUTION

Make sure all body parts, clothing or other objects are not near the movable parts of the windshield when it is being moved to avoid such items from becoming pinched or caught.

Technical Information-KIPASS (Kawasaki’s Intelligent Proximity Activation Start

System)

Overview

•For better user convenience, a system to wirelessly start the engine is used instead of the conventional mechanical key. This frees the rider from handling the ignition key, a helpful feature in the rain or after putting on gloves.

•For improved security, a theft deterrence system that involves reciprocal encryption and authentication among multiple units is used instead of a system based on an immobilizer.

•Tire pressure measurement sensors are used for monitoring the air pressures of the front and rear tires at regular intervals and alerting the rider in case an abnormal condition is detected while the vehicle is running.

•A CAN (Controller Area Network) communication system is used for transmitting and receiving system encryption and authentication data, diagnosis data, and meter indication data consisting of various types of information. This ensures high-volume, high-speed communication while enabling

a significant reduction in wiring, which ensures reliability.

KIPASS: Kawasaki’s Intelligent Proximity Activation Start System

This product uses MISTY, an encryption algorithm developed by Mitsubishi Electric Corporation.

WARNING

KIPASS may interfere with the operation of certain medical device such as implanted pacemakers and implanted cardiac defibrillators. The FOB key or the antenna of KIPASS ECU must be kept more than 22 cm (9 in.) from these type of medical devices. Operators with medical devices such as implanted pacemakers and implanted cardiac defibrillators should consult with their doctors.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-19

Technical Information-KIPASS (Kawasaki’s Intelligent Proximity Activation Start

System)

Key Knob Operation

•The key knob consists of ON, OFF, FSS, and LOCK positions.

*FSS indicates the following positions in which the key knob can be released during operation: F = fuel tank, S = seat, and S = saddlebag.

Starting the Engine

•The key knob can be turned to the ON position when the key knob symbol appears on the LCD meter. Then, the letters "Kawasaki" will appear for 3 seconds on the LCD screen.

○When the engine operates normally, the turn signal lights in the meter will flash (answer-back) twice to inform the rider of normal operation.

(FOB key, steering lock, and DFI ECU authentication)

Running

•The system tries to detect the FOB each time the vehicle goes above 20 km/h.

*The system will not detect the FOB key if it cannot detect the vehicle speed, such as in case of a meter malfunction.

•If the system cannot detect the FOB key, an error message will appear on the meter. The message will disappear if the system can detect the FOB key.

*If the system is unable to authenticate, it will maintain authentication communication until the ignition is turned OFF.

•The operation range of the FOB key could change because it uses weak radiowave signals. Thus, an error message could appear even if the FOB key is within the use range.

*This will not stop the engine after it is started.

1-20 GENERAL INFORMATION

Technical Information-KIPASS (Kawasaki’s Intelligent Proximity Activation Start

System)

Vehicle Stopped

•The system performs authentication of the FOB key as the key knob is turned OFF. If the FOB key is not there, a warning message will appear on the meter.

•If the authentication of the FOB key is completed as the key knob is turned OFF, the meter will provide an answer-back once. Then, the key knob becomes locked 5 seconds later.

*If the FOB key is lost, the key knob becomes locked 10 seconds later.

•If the key knob is left unlocked, the vehicle can be moved even if the FOB key is not in the rider’s possession.

*Make sure to set the key knob to the lock position before leaving the vehicle.

CAN Communication

•CAN is a type of serial communication proposed by Robert Bosch GmbH, a European manufacturer of electronic components. Offering high-speed and high-safety communication, this system was

launched in 1986 to be used as a LAN network linking onboard ECUs (Electric Control Units). *At Kawasaki, this system is already being used on the ZX1400A/B.

1.Uses two communication lines (called bus lines, consisting of high and low voltages) and changes their electric potentials to transmit and receive data.

2.Uses high-speed CAN to communicate at high speeds. Because it can exchange large volumes of data within a short time, it is also highly reliable.

3.CAN communication helps reduce the number of wiring harnesses.
