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,

$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.

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.
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 K AWASAKI. 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
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, Or ing
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.
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.
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 right 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.

Technical Information – Oxygen Sensor
Overview
Kawasaki has adopted an oxygen sensor [A] for the European and California models in addition to the secondary air
injection system and honeycomb catalyst. This helps Kasawaki keep the motorcycle with cleaner exhaust gas and
cope with the emission regulations.
The oxygen sensor [A] is mounted above the exhaust
manifold [B], w hereas the honeycomb catalyst is located
inside the silencer in the downstream of the exhaust gas.
GENERAL INFORMATION 1-11
The oxygen sensor uses the substance called zirconia
(ZrO
2). The electromotive force varies depending on the
density of the oxygen. The sensor measures the oxygen
density of the exhaust gas to detect whether the air/fuel
mixture is lean or rich in relation to the optimum air/fuel
mixture.
When the ECU is in the oxygen sensor feedback mode, it
controls combustion by making the fuel injection amount of
the injector rich or lean through the signal from the sensor.
1-12 GENERAL INFORMATION
Technical Information – Oxygen Sensor
Construction and Operation
The oxygen sensor uses, a solid electrolyte called zirco-
nia.
An electrolyte is a substance that has positive (+) and
negative (−) ions and can move freely i n a liquid.
For explanation purposes, picture a solid electrolyte plate
as a wall and chambers A and B are divided by this wall. If
both sides of the wall have platinum electrodes with holes,
the difference in oxygen density (weight) between chambers A and B will move the oxygen from the chamber of
higher oxygen density to the chamber of lower oxygen density until the two chambers are about equal in density. What
actually moves are the oxygen ions (−) through the wall of
the solid electrolyte.
The higher-density-side chamber will receive the “Pt”
electrode surface with holes on the solid electrolyte wall
and will become minus the oxygen ions (O
the O
2− ions reach the “Pt” electrode of the opposite side.
Since the result of this O
“e
−” (just like “cells” w ork in a battery), voltage will be built
2− move also brings movement of
within the sensor.
2−). At this point,
The (conceptual) sectional view of the actual element in
the oxygen sensor is shown. The sensor is exposed to exhaust gas. The shape of the sensor is tubular since the atmospheric side and exhaust gas side are parted by the wall.
That means that the inside of this tubular solid electrolyte is
the atmosphere side (higher oxygen density), and the outside of the tube faces the exhaust gas. The outside surface,
which is in the stream of exhaust gases, has a coated layer
of porous ceramic. Voltage is generated and can be measured because of the difference in oxygen density (positive
and negative ions).
Technical Information – Oxygen Sensor
The sensor, uses the fresh air as the oxygen reference,
and consists of a passageway to lead the fresh air inside
the tubular element. Installed in this passageway is, a air
permeable filter that allows the fresh air to pass through,
but won’t allow moisture through. This keeps the sensor in
touch with the atmosphere.
At a normal temperature, Zirconia (solid electrolyte) is
an insulator and not able to sense the gases. Since the
exhaust gas temperature does not become hot instantly,
it takes sometime before the sensor starts to work. To
solve the problem of the slow temperature increase of exhaust gases (which warms the electrolyte element), a built
-in heater located i nside the tubular element increases the
temperature of the sensor so it can operate at a low exhaust gas temperature.Furthermore this built-in heater
helps keep the sensor at a constant temperature.
GENERAL INFORMATION 1-13
Air/Fuel Ratio Control By Oxygen Sensor
”λ=1” indicates the optimum air/fuel ratio point, meaning
the air/fuel ratio at which optimum (complete) combustion
can be obtained. In the proximity of this mixture, the purification efficiency of the catalyst will be maximized.
The purification ratio of the three kinds of gas, HC (hydrocarbons), CO (carbon monoxide), Nox (nitrogen oxides)
using the ternary (three) catalyst is shown in Fig. 4.
The best purification rate is at the zone where the oxygen sensor ’s signal shows the sharp changes. This zone is
called the “window” and if the oxygen sensor signal moves
back and forth between the rich side (fuel rich) and lean
side (fuel lean) from the oprimum mix ratio (but still within
the width of the window), it indicates that the exhaust gas
is in a good purification rate zone.
1-14 GENERAL INFORMATION
Technical Information – Oxygen Sensor
Figure 5 shows how the sensor operates the controlling
factors.
There is a sharp voltage drop of about 1V (in reality, about
0.9 V) the sensor uses for control (a standard reference).
By utilizing this voltage and using 0.45 V as the reference
line, an output larger than the line indicates that exhaust gas
is in the lean zone. So, when the system senses a “rich”
condition through the sensor’s output voltage, it controls
the fuel injection amount to make the fuel gradually leaner.
When it reaches a leaner point, the sensor voltage signal
drops sharply at the proximity λ=1 and goes below 0.45V.
The system, at this level, senses that it has changed to
“lean” and reverse the voltage signal to make the fuel richer.
It then controls the fuel injection amount to make the fuel
gradually richer. When it drops to a richer point, the signal
drops sharply at the proximity λ=1 and goes over 0.45V. The
system, at this level, senses that it has changed to “rich”
and reverse the signal to make the fuel leaner. By having
the signal repeat back and forth between the rich and lean
sides, it can constantly stay within the window of the good
purification rates. Thereby the oxygen sensor, works as a
combustion control sensor for the optimum air/fuel ratio.
Technical Information – Oxygen Sensor
Maintenance
1) Periodic Inspections
Periodic inspections or special maintenance is not required for the sensor.
2) Oxygen Sensor Removal and Installation
Handle the oxygen sensor with care. Be careful not
to damage sensor wires. Do not service the oxygen
sensor while it is hot and not use an inpact wrench
while removing or installing the oxygen sensor.
Avoid the fouling (damaging) of the sensing part of the
sensor with foreign substances such as coolant, battery
fluid, anti-corrosion fluid, and brake fluid.
Stop using the sensor if it is fouled with these substances.
Also stop using the sensor if the head part of the sensor
(exposed to the atmosphere) is fouled. Since the sensor has a filter that allows air to escape but stop water,
fouling of the sensor head may clog this filter.
Being subjected to a flame is also unacceptable for the
sensor with the same reason as above.
3) Condition of the Sensor
Perform resistance measurements and visually check
for scars, bends, and clogging of the sensor filter.
4) If trouble with the sensor occurs, one of the following
service codes will be displayed. Accordingly, follow the
related procedures in the Service Manual for necessary
maintenance.

1-16 GENERAL INFORMATION
Technical Information – Electric Solenoid Operated Decompressor
An automatic decompressor (Automatic Compression
Reliese) system is installed to the right side of the engine.
This decompressor is activated by an electric solenoid to
make starting engine easy. When the ignition is switched
on and the starter button depressed, the solenoid pulls a
fulcrum-mounted link that depresses push rods in each
camshaft.
The push rods activate the decompression mechanism
to partially open the exhaust valves as the piston nears top
dead center, releasing some of compression that can cause
resistance during starting.
Releasing the starter button de-activates the solenoid and
a spring returns the push rods to their normal operating position.

Technical Information – Dual Balancer Shaft System
Dual balancers harmonize primary balance and reduce
vibration.
The VN2000-A1 engine applied two balancer shafts, one
[1] is located in front of the front cylinder and another one
[2] is behind the rear cylinder.
Each balancer shaft is driven by the chain which driven to
the counterclockwise by crankshaft sprocket that rotate to
the clockwise viewed from the righr side.
The hydraulically operated chain tensioner is located between crankshaft and rear balancer shaft.
The hydraulic chain tensioner is supplied the oil pressure
from lubrication feed pump.
Two chain guides applied, one is between the crankshaft
and front balancer shaft and another is under the crankshaft
sprocket.

Wheel and Tires:
Tire Air Pressure Inspection
Measure the tire air pressure with an air pressure gauge
•
[A] when the tires are cold (that is, when the motorcycle
has not been ridden more than a mile during the past 3
hours.)
Adjust the tire air pressure according to the specifications
if necessary.
Air Pressure (when cold)
Front Upto186kg(410lb)250 kPa (2.5 kgf/cm², 36 psi)
Rear
Upto186kg(410lb)290 kPa (3.0 kgf/cm², 42 psi)
WARNING
To ensure safe handling and stability, use only the
recommended standard tires for replacement, inflated to the standard pressure. Use the same manufacture’s tires on both front and rear wheels.
NOTE
Most countries may have their own regulations requiring
○
a minimum tire tread depth; be sure to follow them.
Check and balance the wheel when a tire is replaced
○
with a new one (see Wheels/Tires chapter).
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 replacing the
•
tire in case of damage. 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.
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.)
(DE, AT, CH) 1.6 mm (0.063 in.)

Throttle Control System 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 t hat 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 [D] until
○
thereisnoplay.
Tighten the locknut against the adjuster.
○
Turn the adjuster of the accelerator cable [C] until the
○
proper amount of throttle grip free play is obtained and
tighten the locknut against the adjuster.
Periodic Maintenance Procedures
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:900 ± 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.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-33
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]
Fuel Hose and Connection Inspection
The fuel hose [ A] is 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 or the hose to
burst. Remove the fuel tank (see Fuel System (DFI) chapter) and check the fuel hose.
Replace the fuel hose if any fraying, cracks [B] or bulges
[C] are noticed.
Check that the hose joints are securely connected.
•
When installing the fuel hoses, avoid sharp bending, kink-
•
ing, flattening or twisting.
Replace the hose if it has been sharply bent or kinked
flattening or twisting.

Periodic Maintenance Procedures
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 with the motor-
•
cycle held upright. The coolant level should be between
the “F” (full) level and the “L” (low) level (In the photo, the
mufflers have been removed for clarity).
Front [A]
Reserve Tank [B]
Coolant Level Hose [C]
“F” Level [D]
“L” Level [E]
If the coolant level is lower than the “L” level, remove the
reserve tank cap, then add coolant to the“F” level.
CAUTION
For refilling, add t he 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 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 reserve 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.
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.

coolant and install the cap (in the photo, the muffler has
been removed for clarity).
Install the fuel tank (see Fuel System chapter).
•
Start the engine and warm it up thoroughly until the radi-
•
ator fan turns on and then stop the engine.
Check the coolant level in the reserve tank several times
•
while the engine is cooling down, and replenish as necessary.
If the coolant level is lower than the “L” level line [B], add
coolant to the “F” level line.
CAUTION
Do not add more coolant above the “F” level line.
Periodic Maintenance Procedures
