Good setup procedures can prevent needless warranty claims and give customers a greater sense of confidence in Kawasaki and their Kawasaki Dealers.

This Assembly and Preparation Manual explains step by step procedures of the following items for the Kawasaki Ninja 650R, ER-6f and ER-6f ABS.

Uncrating

Opening Crate

WARNING

Always wear protective gloves, boots and eye protection when uncrating to prevent injury.

WARNING

Place the crate upright on its base.

Remove the cardboard cover.

Remove the handlebar and the parts box.

CAUTION

When removing the crate bracket from the motorcycle, be careful not to drop any parts or the bracket onto the fuel tank and other components, and not to scratch the fuel tank or other components with the crate bracket.

UNCRATING 3

First, remove the lower bolts (D = 8, L = 16) at the steering stem and discard them.

Remove the upper bolts (D = 8, L = 22) to take off the steering stem support bracket and discard them.

Remove the lower bolts (D = 6, L = 12) and washer to take off the front master cylinder.
