Foreword
This Kawasaki Service manual supplement
information provides unique to the Kawasaki
KLV1000-A1, which is based on the Suzuki
DL1000K4. It must be used in conjunction with the
other chapters of this manual. Read both this
supplement and the base manual for complete
information on proper service procedures for the
model covered by this manual.
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.
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 motorcycle:
zFollow the Periodic Maintenance Chart in the
Service Manual.
zBe alert for problems and non-scheduled
maintenance.
zUse proper tools and genuine Kawasaki
Motorcycle parts. Special tools, gauges, and
testers that are necessary when servicing
Kawasaki motorcycles are listed in this manual.
Genuine parts provided as spare parts are listed in
the Parts Catalog.
zFollow the procedures in this manual carefully.
Don’t take shortcuts.
zRemember to keep complete records of
maintenance and repair with dates and any new
parts installed.

and replace the terminal cover on the positive terminal.
* When performing service to electrical parts, if the service procedures not require use of bat-
tery power, disconnect the negative cable the battery.
* When tightening the cylinder head and case bolts and nuts, tighten the larger sizes first.
Always tighten the bolts and nuts diagonally from the inside toward outside and to the speci-
nuts, cotter p ins, circlips and certain other parts as specifie d, be sure to repl ace them with
new ones. Als o, before installing these new parts, be sure to remov e any left over material
from the mating surfaces.
* Never reuse a circlip. When installing a new circlip, take care not to expand the end gap larger
than required to slip the circlip over the shaft. After installing a circlip, always ensure that it is
completely seated in its groove and securely fitted.
* Us e a torq ue wrench to ti ghten f asteners to the sp ecified torque. W ipe o ff grea se and oil if a

ENGINE OIL
Use a prem ium quality 4-stroke motor oil to ensure lon ger service life of you r motorc ycle. Use o nly oils w hich ar e rated SF or
SG under the API serv ice classifi cation. The recomm ended v iscosity is SAE 10W-40. If an SAE 10W-40 motor oil is not available, select an alternative according to the fol lowing chart.
BRAKE FLUID
Specificat ion an d classificat ion : DOT 4
#
Since the brake system of this motorcycle is filled with a glycol-based br ake fluid by the manufacturer, do not use or mix different types of fluid such as silicone-based and petroleum-based
fluid for refilling the system, otherwise serious d amage will result.
Do not use any brake fluid taken from old or used or unsealed containers.
Never re-use brake fluid left over fr om a previous se rvicing, which has been stored for a lo ng
period.
FRONT FORK OIL
Use fork oi l SS8 or an equivalent fork oil.
ENGINE COOLANT
Use an anti-freeze/engine coolant compatible with an aluminum radiator, mixed with distilled water only.
WATER FOR MIXING
Use distilled water only. Water other than distill e d water can corrode and clog the aluminum radiator.
ANTI-FREEZE/ENGINE COOLANT
The engine coo lant perform as a corrosion an d rust inhibitor as well as anti-freeze. Therefore, the engine
coolant should be used at all times even though the atmospheric temperature in your area does not go down
to freezing point.
Suzuki reco mmends th e use of SUZ UKI COOL ANT anti-free ze/engine coo lant. If this i s not availabl e, use
an equivalent which is compatible with an aluminum radiator.
LIQUID AMOUNT OF WATER/ENGINE COOLANT
Solution capacity (total): 2 200 ml (2.3/1.9 US/Imp qt)
For engine coolant mixture information, refer to cooling system section, page 5-2.
Mixing of anti-freeze/engine coolant should be limited to 60%. Mixing beyond it would reduce
its efficiency. If the anti-freeze/engine coo lant mixing ratio is below 50%, rust inhabiting performance is greatly reduced. Be sure to mix it above 50% even though the atmospheric temperature does not go down to the freezing point.

1-6 GENERAL INFORMATION
BREAK-lN PROCEDURES
During m anu factur e o nly the be st po ssible mate rials a re us ed and all ma c hined par ts a re fi nish ed to a very
high standard but it is still necessary to allow the moving parts to “BREAK-IN” before subjecting the engine
to maximum stresses. The future performance and reliability of the engine depends on the care and restraint
exercised during its early life. The general rules are as follows.
• Keep to these break-in engine speed limits:
Initial 800 km ( 500 miles): Below 4 500 r/min
Up to 1 600 km (1 000 miles): Below 7 000 r/min
Over1 600 km (1 000 miles): Be low 9 500 r/min
• Upon reaching an odometer reading of 1 60 0 km (1 000 mil es ) you can subje ct t he moto rcycl e to full thro ttle operation. However, do not exceed 9 500 r/min at any time.
CYLINDER IDENTIFICATION

MAINTENANCE AND TUNE-UP PROCEDURES
This section describes the servicing procedures for each item of
the Periodic Maintenance requirements.
AIR CLEANER
Inspect every 6 000 km (4 000 miles, 6 months) and
replace every 18 000 km (11 000 miles, 18 months).
• Remove the seat. (6-4)
• Remove the fuel tank. (4-52)
• Remove the air cleaner box cap
• Remove the air cleaner element
.
.
• C arefully u se air hose to blow the dust from the cleaner element.
Always use air pressure on the throttle body side of
the air cleaner elem ent. If air pressure is used on th e
other side, dirt will be forced into the pores of the air
cleaner element thus restricting air flow through the
air cleaner element.
• Install the O-ring
• Reinstall the cleaned or new air cleaner element in the
reverse order of removal.
If driving under dusty condition, clean the air cleaner
element more frequently. The su rest way to accelerate
engine wear is to use the engine without the element
or to use a ruptured element. Make sure that the air
cleaner is in good condition at all times. Life of the
engine depends largely on this component!

CLEANING AND LUBRICATING
• Wash the chain with kerosene. If the chain tends to rust
quickly, the intervals must be shortened.
Do not use trichlene, gasoline or any similar fluids:
These fluids have too great a dissolving power for this
chain and, what is more importan t, they can damage
the “O”-rings (or seals) confining the grease in the
bush to pin clearance. Remember, high durability
comes fro m the presence of grease in that clearance.
• After wa shing an d dryi ng the chain , oil it with a h eavy- weight
motor oil.
* Do not use any oil sold commercially as “drive chain
oil”. Such oil can damage the “O”-ri ngs (or seals).
* The standard drive chain is RK525SMOZ7. SUZUKI
recommends that this standard drive chain should
be used for the replacement.

STEERING
Inspect initially at 1 000 km (600 m iles, 1 mon th) and
every 12 000 km (7 500 miles, 1 2 months) thereafter.
Steering shou ld be adjus ted proper ly for smo oth turning of handlebars and safe running. Overtight steering prevents smooth
turning of the ha ndleb ars and too loos e steer ing wil l caus e poor
stability. Che ck that there is no play in t he steering stem w hile
grasping the lo we r fork tu bes b y suppo rting the mac h ine so th at

COMPRESSION PRESSURE CHECK
The compression of a cylinder is a good indicator of its internal condition.
The decis ion to overhau l the c ylinder i s often based on the r esults of a com press ion tes t. Perio dic ma intenance records kept at your dealership should include compression readings for each maintenance service.
Low compression pressure can indicate any of the following conditions:
* Worn-down piston or piston rings
* Piston rings stuck in grooves
* Poor seating of valves
* Ruptured or otherwise defective cylinder head gasket
Overhau l the engine in the following cases:
* Compression pressure in one of the cylinders is less than 800 kPa (8 kgf/cm², 114 psi).
* Difference in compression pressure between two cylinders is more than 200 kPa (2 kg f/cm², 28 psi).
* A ll comp ressi on pressur e are below 1 000 k Pa (10 k gf/cm ², 14 2 psi) ev en when they mea sure mor e than
800 kPa (8 kgf/cm², 114 psi).

COMPRESSION TEST PROCEDURE
NOTE:
* Before testing the engine for compression pressure, make
sure that the cy linder hea d bo lts are tight ened to the s p ecifie d
torque values and valves are properly adjusted.
* Have the engine warmed up by idling before testing.
* Be sure that the battery used is in fully-charged condition.
Remove the parts concerned and test the compression pressure
in the following manner.
• Remove the radiator . (5-4)
• Remove all the spark plugs. (2-5)
• Fit the compression gauge in one of the plug holes, while taking care of the tight connection.
• Keep the throttle grip in full-open position.
• While cranking the engine a few seconds with the starter, and
record the maximum gauge reading as the compression of
that cylinder.
• Repeat this procedure with an other cylinder.
