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 flash-point solvent when cleaning parts. High
flash-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.
Page 11
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 Remov ed 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.
GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3
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.
Page 12
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.
All of the tightening torque values are for use with dry,
solvent - cleaned threads unless otherwise indicated. If a
fastener which should have dry, clean threads gets contaminated with lubricant, etc., applying even the specified torque
could damage it.
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 thatrequire Liquid Gasketor a
Non-permanent Locking Agent, c lean 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.
Page 13
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 i nner and outer race and result in bearing damage.
GENERAL INFORMATION 1-5
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.
Page 14
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 Leads
A two-color lead is identified first by the primary color and
then the stripe color. Unless instructed otherwise, electrical
leads 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.

Cooling System
Coolant Level Inspection
NOTE
Check the level when the engine is cold (room or ambi-
○
ent temperature).
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 “LOW” level line [B],
remove the reserve tank cap cover [C] by removing screw,
and then remove the reserve tank cap [D] and add coolant
to the “FULL” level line [E].
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 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.
Cooling System
Water 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.
Torque - Water Hose Clamp Screws: 4.4 N·m (0.45 kgf·m,

Wheels and Tires
Wheel/Tire Damage Inspection
Remove any imbedded stones [A] or other foreign parti-
•
cles [B] from tread.
Visually inspect the tire for cracks and cuts, and replace
•
the tire if necessary. Swelling or high spots indicate internal damage, requiring tire replacement.
Visually inspect the wheel for cracks, cuts and dents dam-
•
age.
If any damage is found, replace the wheel if necessary.
Tire Tread Wear Inspection
As the tire tread wears down, the tire becomes more susceptible to puncture and failure. An accepted estimate is
that 90% of all tire failures occur during the last 10% of tread
life (90% worn). So it is false economy and unsafe to use
the tires until they are bald.
Measure the tread depth at the center of the tread with a
•
depth gauge [A]. Since the tire may wear unevenly, take
measurement at several places.
If any measurement is less than the service limit, replace
the tire (see Tire Removal/Installation in the Wheels/Tires
chapter).
Tread Depth
Service Limit:

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 leads that are directly con-
nected to the battery positive (+) terminal to the chassis
ground.
When charging, remove the battery from the motorcycle.
This is to prevent ECU damage by excessive voltage.
Whenever the DFI electrical connections are to be dis-
connected, 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].
FUEL SYSTEM (DFI) 3-15
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, con-
nectors, leads and wiring.
If a transceiver is installed on the motorcycle, 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, 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 sur-
faces of these parts clean with compressed air.
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 installing the fuel hoses, avoid sharp bending, kink-
ing, flattening or twisting, and run the fuel hoses with a
minimum of bending so that the fuel flow will not be obstructed.
Run the hoses according to Cable, Wire, and Hose Rout-
ing section in the Appendix chapter.
To prevent corrosion and deposits in the fuel system, do
not add t o fuel any fuel antifreeze chemicals.
Page 80
3-16 FUEL SYSTEM (DFI)
DFI Servicing Precautions
If the motorcycle is not properly handled, the high pres-
sure inside the fuel line can cause fuel to leak or the hose
to burst. Check the fuel hose [A] (see Fuel Hose Inspection (fuel leak, damage, installation condition) in the Periodic Maintenance chapter).
Replace the fuel hose if any fraying, cracks or bulges are
noticed.
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/dipstick [A] after filling the engine oil.
Page 81
Tr oubleshooting the DFI System
Outline
When a problem occurs with DFI system, the yellow engine warning indicator light (LED) [A] blinks on to alert the
rider.
And the engine warning symbol [A] and the service code
(error code) [B] are displayed on the LCD by the number of
two digits.
FUEL SYSTEM (DFI) 3-17
When the service code is displayed, for first ask the rider
about the conditions [A] of trouble, and then start to determine the cause [B] 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.
Even if the repair has been done, the service codes stored
in memory of the ECU are not erased to preserve the problem history. But, the service code can be erased with the
specified procedures.
When the motorcycle is down, the vehicle-down sensor
operates and the ECU shuts off the fuel pump relay, fuel
injectors and ignition system. The ignition switch is left on.
If the starter button is pushed, the electric starter turns but
the engine does not start. To start the engine again, raise
the motorcycle, turn the ignition switch off, and then on.
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.
Page 82
3-18 FUEL SYSTEM (DFI)
Tr oubleshooting the DFI System
When checking the DFI parts, use a tester 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]. Insert
the needle adapter inside the seal until the needle adapter
reaches the terminal.
Special Tool - Needle Adapter Set: 57001-1457
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 con-
•
nector, noting the position of the lock [D] and the lead
color before measurement. Do not reverse connections
of a tester.
Be careful not to short-circuit the leads of the DFI or elec-
•
trical 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 ap-
ply 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 the 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.
Page 83
Tr oubleshooting the DFI System
Pull each connector 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 a tester between the ends of the leads.
If the tester does not read about 0 , the lead is defective.
Replace the lead or the main 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 con-
tinuity between the end [E] and the ground [F]. This en-
ables to check a long harness for continuity. If the harness
is open, repair or replace the harness.
FUEL SYSTEM (DFI) 3-19
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 re-
placed.
Narrow down suspicious locations by repeating the con-
•
tinuity 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.

The self-diagnosis system is monitoring the DFI system
and ignition system.
The ECU notifies the rider of troubles in DFI system and
ignition system by blinking the yellow engine warning indicator light (LED) [A] when DFI and ignition system parts
are faulty, and initiates fail-safe function. In case of serious
troubles, ECU stops the i njection and ignition operations.
The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) displays the engine
warning symbol [A] and service code(s) [B] to show the

Throttle Sensor Position and Idle Speed Control Valve Actuator Position Reset
How to Reset Throttle Sensor Position and Idle
Speed Control Valve Actuator Position
The ECU records the throttle sensor position and idle
speed control valve actuator position. Therefore, the throttle sensor position and idle speed control valve actuator position have to be reset when throttle body, intake air pressure sensor, idle speed control valve actuator or ECU has
been reinstalled.
NOTE
If close or open the throttle grip randomly, the ECU may
○
record the incorrect the throttle sensor position when
the ECU or the throttle body has been reinstalled. It
can cause hard to start the engine or idling speed is not
smooth when engine installation.
The idle speed control valve actuator has a motor in-
○
side, which controls idle speed control valve actuator to
obtain smooth idling speed. The ECU may record the
incorrect idle speed control valve actuator position during the engine speed is not working when the ECU or
the throttle body has been reinstalled. It can cause engine stop, hard to start the engine or rough idling speed.
Throttle Sensor Position and Idle Speed Control Valve
Actuator Position Reset Procedure
1. Place the motorcycle on its center stand.
2. Put the side stand up, and turn the engine stop switch
to run position.
3. Turn the ignition switch off.
4. Fully open the throttle grip.
5. Turn the ignition switch on.
6. Release the throttle grip after waiting for eight seconds.
7. Turn the ignition switch off.
8. Turn the ignition switch on.
9. The throttle sensor position and idle speed control v alve
actuator position have been reset successfully.
If the trouble occurs after resetting, repeat the steps from
1 to 8 again.

Throttle Sensor (Service Code 06)
The throttle sensor is a rotating variable resistor that
change output voltage according to throttle operating.
The ECU senses this voltage change and determines fuel
injection quantity, and ignition timing according to engine
rpm, and throttle opening.
