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 in-

cludes a catalytic converter system.

3. Evaporative Emission Control System Vapors caused by fuel evaporation in the fuel system are not vented into the atmosphere. In-

stead, 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 f leet of m otor 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 a s follows :

1. Tampering does not include the temporary removal or rendering inoperative of devices or elements of design in o rder to perform maintenance.

2. Tampering could include:

a.Maladjustment of vehicle components such that the emission standards are ex-

ceeded.

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 stan-

dards.

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,

THEVIOLATIONOFWHICHISPUNISHABLEBYCIVILPENALTIESNOTEXCEEDING $10,000 PER VIOLATION.

Page 8

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.

•

torcycle parts. Special tools, gauges, and

testers that are necessary when servicing

Kawasaki motorcycles are introduced by the

Special Tool Catalog or Manual. Genuine

parts provided as spare parts are listed in the

Parts Catalog.

Follow the procedures in this manual care-

•

fully. Don’t take shortcuts.

Remember to keep complete records of main-

•

tenance and repair with dates and any new

parts installed.

How to Use This Manual

In preparing this manual, we divided the product into its major systems. These systems became the manual’s chapters. All information for a particular system from adjustment through disassembly and inspection is located in a single chapter.

The Quick Reference Guide shows you all of the product’s system and assists in locating their chapters. Each chapter in turn has its own comprehensive Table of Contents.

The Periodic Maintenance Chart is located in the Periodic Maintenance chapter. The chart gives a time schedule for required maintenance operations.

If you want spark plug information, for example, go to the Periodic Maintenance Chart first. The chart tells you how frequently to clean and gap the plug. Next, use the Quick Reference Guide to locate the Periodic Maintenance chapter. Then, use the Table of Contents on the first page of the chapter to find the Spark Plug section.

Whenever you see these WARNING and CAUTION symbols, heed their instructions! Always follow safe operating and maintenance practices.

WARNING

This warning symbol identifies special

instructions or procedures which, if not

correctly followed, could result in per-

sonal injury, or loss of life.

CAUTION

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 wires from the battery to prevent the engine from accidentally turning over. Disconnect the ground wire (–) first and then the positive (+). When completed with the service, first connect the positive (+) wire to the positive (+) terminal of the battery then the negative (–) wire 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 w hen 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.

Page 13

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.

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 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.

Page 14

1-4 GENERAL INFORMATION

Before Servicing

Tightening Sequence

Bolts, nuts, or screws must be tightened according to the specified sequence to prevent case warpage or deformation which can lead to malfunction. 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.

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 new gaskets and replace used O-rings when re-assembling

Liquid Gasket, Locking Agent

For applications that require Liquid Gasket or a Locking agent, clean the surfaces so that no oil residue remains before applying liquid gasket or locking agent. Do not apply them excessively. Excessive application can clog oil passages and cause serious damage.

Page 15

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.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-5

Oil Seal, Grease Seal

Do not remove pressed oil or grease seals unless r emoval 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.

Circlips, Cotter Pins

Replace circlips or cotter pins that were removed with new ones. Install the circlip with its sharp edge facing outward and its chamfered side facing inward to prevent the clip from being pushed out of its groove when loaded. Take care not to open the clip excessively when installing to prevent deformation.

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.

Page 16

1-6 GENERAL INFORMATION

Before Servicing

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.

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

Fuel System (DFI)

Fuel Hose and Connection Inspection

The f uel hoses are designed to be used throughout the

○

motorcycle’s life without any maintenance, however, if the motorcycle is not properly handled, the high pressure inside the fuel line can cause fuel to leak [A] or the hose to burst. Remove the fuel tank (see Fuel System chapter) and check the fuel hose. Replace the fuel hose if any fraying, cracks [B] or bulges [C] are noticed. Check that the hoses are securely connected and clamps

•

are tightened correctly. When installing, route the hoses according to Cable,

•

Wire, and Hose Routing section in the Appendix chapter. When installing the fuel hoses, avoid sharp bending, kink-

•

ing, flattening or twisting, and route the fuel hoses with a minimum of bending so that the fuel flow will not be obstructed. Replace the hose if it has been sharply bent or kinked.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-13

Throttle Control System Inspection

Throttle Grip Play Inspection

Check the throttle grip free play [A].

•

If the free play is incorrect, adjust the throttle cable (see below).

Throttle Grip Free Play

Standard: 2 ∼ 3 mm (0.08 ∼ 0.12 in.)

Check that the throttle grip moves smoothly from close to

•

full open, and the throttle closes quickly and completely in all steering positions by the return spring. If the throttle grip doesn’t return properly, check the throttle cable routing, grip free play, and cable damage. Then lubricate the throttle cable. Run the engine at the idle speed, and turn the handlebar

•

all the way to the right and left to ensure that the idle speed doesn’t change. If the idle speed increases, check the throttle grip free play and the cable routing.

If necessary, adjust the throttle cable as follows:

•

Loosen the locknuts [A] and screw the adjusters [B] all the

○

way in so as to give the throttle grip plenty of play (rear view). Turn out the adjuster of the decelerator cable [C] until

○

thereisnoplay. Tighten the locknut against the adjuster.

○

Turn the adjuster of the accelerator cable [D] until the

○

proper amount of throttle grip free play is obtained and tighten the locknut against the adjuster.

Page 36

2-14 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

Throttle Bore Cleaning

Check the throttle bore for cleanliness as follows:

•

Remove the air cleaner cover Allen bolt [A] and take off

○

the right air cleaner cover [B].

Front [C]

Check the throttle bores [A] at the throttle valves [B] and

○

around them for carbon deposits by opening the valves. If any carbon accumulates, wipe the carbon off the throttle bores around the throttle valves, using a lint-free cloth [C] penetrated with a high-flash point solvent.

Front [D]

Idle Speed Inspection

Start the engine and warm it up thoroughly.

•

At first the engine will run fast to decrease warm up time

○

(fast idle). Gradually the fast idle will lower to a certain RPM auto-

○

matically. This is the idle speed. Check the idle speed.

•

Idle Speed

Standard: 950 ± 50 r/min (rpm)

With the engine idling, turn the handlebar to both sides.

•

If handlebar movement changes the idle speed, the throttle cables may be improperly adjusted or incorrectly routed or damaged. Be sure to correct any of these conditions before riding (see Cable, Wire, and Hose Routing section in the Appendix chapter).

WARNING

Operation with improperly adjusted, incorrectly routed or damaged cables could result in an unsafe riding condition.

If the idle speed is out of the specified range, adjust it. Start the engine and warm it up thoroughly.

•

Wait until fast idle speed lowers to a certain value.

○

Turn the adjusting screw [A] until the idle speed is correct.

•

Open and close the throttle a few times to make sure that

○

the idle speed is within the specified range. Readjust if necessary.

Front [B]

Page 37

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

Air Cleaner Element Cleaning

NOTE

In dusty areas, the element should be cleaned more

○

frequently than the recommended interval. After riding through rain or on muddy roads, the element

○

should be cleaned immediately.

Remove:

•

Allen Bolt and Washer [A] and Left Air Cleaner Cover [B] Front [C]

Remove the element [A].

•

Push a clean, lint-free towel into the lower air cleaner duct

•

to keep dirt or other foreign material from entering.

WARNING

If dirt or dust is allowed to pass through into the throttle body assy, the throttle may become stuck, possibly causing accident.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-15

CAUTION

If dirt gets through into the engine, excessive engine wear and possibly engine damage will occur.

Clean the element by tapping it lightly to loosen dust.

•

Blow away the remaining dust by applying compressed

•

air [A] from the inside to the outside (from the clean side to the dirty side). Visually check the element for no tears or no breaks and

•

check the sponge gasket [B] also. If the element or gasket has any tears or breaks, replace the element. Install the left air cleaner cover.

•

Evaporative Emission Control System Inspection (CAL)

Inspect the canister as follows:

•

Remove the left side cover (see Frame chapter).

○

Remove the band [A] and take out the canister [B].

○

Visually inspect the canister for cracks and other damage.

○

If the canister has any cracks or bad damage, replace it with a new one.

NOTE

The canister is designed to work well through the motor-

○

cycle’s life without any maintenance if it is used under normal conditions.

Page 38

2-16 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

Run the purge hose (green) [A] above the canister

○

breather hose (blue) [B] through the hole [ C] into the tool case [D]. Do not run these hoses side by side on the battery side

○

of the canister. This prevents hoses from being flattened when installing the left side cover. Install the canister and the left side cover (see Frame

○

chapter). Face the white mark [E] left as shown.

○

Check the liquid/vapor separator as follows:

•

Disconnect t he hoses from the separator, and remove the

○

separator [A] from the motorcycle right side.

Front [B]

Visually inspect the separator for cracks and other dam-

○

age. If the separator has any cracks or damage, replace it with a new one. To prevent the gasoline from flowing into or out of the

○

canister, hold the separator perpendicular to the ground. Check the hoses of the evaporative emission control sys-

•

tem as follows: Check that the hoses are securely connected and clips

○

are in position. Replace any kinked, deteriorated or damaged hoses.

○

Route the hoses according to Cable, Wire, and Hose

○

Routing section in the Appendix chapter. Refer to the diagram of the evaporative emission control system in the Fuel System chapter too. When installing the hoses, avoid sharp bending, kinking,

○

flattening or twisting, and route the hoses with a minimum of bending so that the emission flow will not be obstructed.

Cooling System

Radiator Hose and Connection Inspection

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 i t 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.

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

Coolant Change

WARNING

To avoid burns, do not remove the radiator cap or try to change the coolant when the engine is still hot. Wait until it cools down. Coolant on tires will make them slippery, and can cause an accident and injury. Since coolant is harmful to the human body, do not use for drinking.

Place a container under the radiator drain bolt [A], then

•

remove the drain bolt (front view).

Remove the fuel tank (see Fuel System (DFI) chapter).

•

Remove the radiator cap [A] in two steps. First turn the

•

cap counterclockwise to the first stop. Then push and turn it further in the same direction and remove the cap. The coolant will drain from the radiator and engine.

○

Wheel/Tires

Tire 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.

Remove any imbedded stones or other foreign particles

•

from the tread.

Visually inspect the tire for cracks and cuts, replacing the

•

tire in case of damage. Swelling or high spots indicate

internal damage, requiring tire replacement.

Page 47

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

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 Wheels/Tires chapter).

Tread Depth

Front:

Standard: 4.3 mm (0.17 in.) Service Limit: 1 mm (0.04 in.)

DFI Servicing Precautions

There are a number of important precautions that should

be followed servicing the DFI system.

To maintain the correct fuel-air mixture (F/A), there must

○

be no inlet air leaks in the DFI system. Be sure to install the oil filler cap [A] after filling the engine oil, using the driver-filler cap [B].

Clutch Cover [C] Front [D]

Special Tool - Driver-Filler Cap: 57001–1454

Torque - Oil Filler Cap: 1.5 N·m (0.15 kgf·m, 13 in·lb)

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 lead connections. This will

○

damage the ECU. Do not disconnect the battery leads or any other electrical

○

connections when the ignition SW (switch) is on, or while the engine is running. Otherwise, surge damages the connector terminals or the DFI parts. 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.

FUEL SYSTEM (DFI) 3-19

Whenever the DFI electrical connections are to be discon-

○

nected, first turn off the ignition SW (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].

○

Do not turn the ignition SW ON while any of the DFI elec-

○

trical connectors are disconnected. The ECU memorizes fault codes. Do not spray water on the electrical parts, DFI parts, con-

○

nectors, leads, and wiring. Never water a vehicle with connectors unplugged because seals don’t work and terminals could corrode. To prevent corrosion and deposits in the fuel system, do

○

not add any fuel antifreeze chemicals to fuel. When any fuel hose is disconnected, do not turn on the

○

ignition SW. 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 t hese 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.

Troubleshooting the DFI System

Outline

When an abnormality in the system occurs, the FI indicator LED light [A] and FI symbol [B] go on t o alert the rider on the meter panel. In addition, the condition of the problem is stored in the memory of the ECU (electronic control unit).

With the engine stopped and turned in the self-diagnosis mode, the service code [A] is indicated by the number of times the FI indicator LED light blinks.

When due to a malfunction, the FI indicator LED light and FI symbol remains lit, ask the rider about the conditions [B] under which the problem occurred and try to determine the cause. Don’t rely solely on the DFI self-diagnosis function, use common sense.

First conduct a self-diagnosis inspection, and then a non

-self-diagnosis. The non-self-diagnosis items are not indicated by the FI indicator LED light.

Even when the DFI system is operating normally, the FI indicator LED light and FI symbol may light up under strong electrical interference. No repair needed. Turn the ignition SW (switch) OFF to stop the indicator light and FI symbol.

When the FI indicator LED light and FI symbol go on and the motorcycle is brought in for repair, check the service codes.

When the repair has been done, the LED light and FI symbol do not go on.

There are two ways to inspect the DFI system. One is

○

Voltage Check Method and the other is Resistance Check

Method.

Voltage Check Method

This method is conducted by measuring the input voltage

○

[B] to a sensor [A] first, and then the output voltage [C]

from the sensor.

Sometime this method can detect a fault of the ECU.

○

Refer to each Sensor Inspection section for detail in this

○

chapter.

Use a fully charged battery, and a digital meter [D] which

•

can be read two decimal places voltage or resistance.

Page 79

Troubleshooting the DFI System

The DFI part connectors [A] have seals [B], including the

○

ECU (except for ISC valves). Join the connector [A] and insert the needle adapter (spe-

•

cial tool) [C] inside the seal [B] from behind the connector until the adapter reaches the terminal.

Special Tool - Needle Adapter Set: 57001–1457

CAUTION

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 the hand tester or a digital meter. Be careful not to short-circuit the leads of the DFI or elec-

•

trical system parts by contact between adapters. Turn the ignition SW ON and measure the voltage with

•

the connector joined.

FUEL SYSTEM (DFI) 3-21

CAUTION

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.

Silicone Sea lant-

Always check battery condition before replacing the DFI

•

parts. A fully charged battery is a must for conducting accurate tests of the DFI system.

3-22 FUEL SYSTEM (DFI)

Troubleshooting the DFI System

Resistance Check Method

This m ethod is simple. No need for a fully charged battery

○

and the needle adapter. Just do the following especially

when a sensor [A] is suspect.

Turn the ignition SW OFF and disconnect the connectors.

•

Inspect the sensor resistance, using a digital meter (see

•

each Sensor Inspection in this chapter).

Inspect the wiring and connections [B] for continuity, using

•

the hand tester [C] (special tool, analog tester) rather than

adigitalmeter.

Special Tool - Hand Tester: 57001–1394

If the sensor, the wiring and connections are good, in-

spect the ECU for its ground and power supply (see this

chapter). If the ground and power supply are good, the

ECU is suspect. Replace the ECU.

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 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.

Pull each connector [A] 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 the hand tester between the ends of the leads.

○

Set the tester to the × 1 Ω range, and read the tester.

○

If the tester does not read 0 Ω, the lead is defective. Re-

place the lead.

Page 81

Troubleshooting the DFI System

If both ends of a harness [A] are far apart, ground [B]

○

the one end [C], using an auxiliary wire [D] and check the continuity between the end [E] and the ground [F]. This enables to check a long harness for continuity. If the harness is open, repair or replace the harness.

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 i s continuity, the harness has a short circuit to ground, and it must be repaired or replaced.

FUEL SYSTEM (DFI) 3-23

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.

Each rider reacts to problems in different ways, so it is important to confirm what kind of symptoms

○

the rider has encountered.

Try to find out exactly what problem occurred under exactly what conditions by asking the rider;

If the inlet air pressure sensor system fails (the signal Pv is out of the usable range, wiring short or open), the ECU sets the DFI in the α - N method (1).

If the inlet air temperature sensor fails (the signal is out of the usable range, wiring short or open), the ECU sets Ta at 45°C.

If the water temperature sensor system fails (the signal is out of the usable range, wiring short or open), the ECU sets Tw at 86°C.

Range or Criteria

Either crankshaft sensor must send signals (output voltage)

8 or more times continuously to the ECU.

Vehicle-down Sensor Output Voltage (signal)

Vd = 0.2 V ∼ 4.6 V

The injector must send signals (output voltage) 16 or more times continuously to the ECU.

The pump must send signals (output voltage) continuously to the ECU.

The ignition coil primary winding must send signals (output voltage) continuously to the ECU.

Backups by ECU

If either crankshaft sensor generates 8 or more signals, the ECU runs the engine by the signal of the good crankshaft sensor, but neither crankshaft sensors generate signals, the engine stops by itself.

If the vehicle-down sensor system has failures ( the output voltage Vd is out of the usable range, wiring short or open), the ECU shuts off the fuel pump, the fuel injectors and the ignition system.

If the injector #1 fails (signals less than 16 times, wiring short or open), the ECU shuts off the signal to the injector. Fuel is not supplied to the cylinder #1, though the engine keeps running.

If the injector #2 fails (signals less than 16 times, wiring short or open), the ECU shuts off the signal to the injector. Fuel is not supplied to the cylinder #2, though the engine keeps running.

If the fuel pump fails (no signals to ECU, wiring short or open), the ECU shuts off the pump, and then the engine stops because of fuel pressure drop.

If the ignition primary winding #1 has failures (no signal, wiring short or open), the ECU shuts off the injector #1 to stop fuel to the cylinder #1, though the engine keeps running.

If the ignition primary winding #2 has failures (no signal, wiring short or open), the ECU shuts off the injector #2 to stop fuel to the cylinder #2, though the engine keeps running.

Note:

(1) When the engine load is light like at idling or low speed, the ECU determines injection quantity by calculating from throttle vacuum (inlet air pressure sensor output voltage) and engine speed (crankshaft sensor output voltage). This method is called D-J method (low-speed mode). As engine speed increases, and the engine load turns middle to heavy, the ECU determines injection quantity by calculating from throttle opening (throttle sensor output voltage) and engine speed. This method is called α – N method (high-speed mode).

If the reading of input voltage is less than the standard, check the ECU for its ground, and power supply (see ECU section). If the input voltage is within the standard range, remove the fuel tank, and check the wiring from the ECU to the throttle sensor for continuity. If the wiring is good, check the output voltage of the throttle sensor.

Throttle Sensor (Service Code 11)

Output Voltage Inspection

Start the engine and warm it up thoroughly.

•

Check idle speed to make sure the throttle opening is cor-

•

rect.

Idle Speed

Standard: 9 50 ± 50 r/min (rpm)

If the idle speed is out of the specified range, adjust the

idle speed (see this chapter).

Turn off the ignition switch.

•

Remove the ECU (see this chapter). Do not disconnect

•

the ECU connectors.

Connect a digital meter [A] to the connector [B], using the

•

needle adapters [C].

Special Tool - Needle Adapter Set: 57001–1457

CAUTION

Insert the needle adapter straight along the lead in

the connector to prevent short circuit between ter-

minals.

Measure the output voltage of the sensor with the engine

•

stopped, and with the connector joined.

Turn the ignition SW ON.

•

Throttle Sensor Output Voltage

Connections to Sensor

Meter (+) → Y/W lead (terminal 26) Meter (–) → BR/BK lead (terminal 11)

Standard: 0.584 ∼ 0.604 V DC

(at idle throttle opening)

4.29 ∼ 4.59 V DC

(at full throttle opening)

If the output voltage is normal, replace the ECU.

If the reading is out of the standard range, inspect the

throttle sensor resistance.

After throttle sensor inspection, remove the needle

•

adapters, and apply silicone sealant to the seals [A] of

the connector [B] for waterproofing.
