EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION

To protect the environment in which we all live, Kawasaki has incorporated crankcase emission (1) and exhaust emission (2) control systems (EM) in compliance with applicable regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board.
1. Crankcase Emission Control System
A sealed-type crankcase emission control system is used to eliminate blow-by gases. The blow-by gases are led to the breather chamber through the crankcase. Then, it is led to the air cleaner.
Oil is separated from the gases while passing through the inside of the breather chamber
from the crankcase, and then returned back to the bottom of crankcase.
2. Exhaust Emission Control System The exhaust emission control system applied to this engine consists of a carburetor and
an ignition system having optimum ignition timing characteristics.
The carburetor has been calibrated to provide lean air/fuel mixture characteristics and op-
timum fuel economy with a suitable air cleaner and exhaust system.

TAMPERING WITH EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM PROHIBITED

Federal law and California State 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 engine for the purpose of emission control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or (2) the use of the engine 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: Do not tamper with the original emission related part:
Carburetor and internal parts
Spark plug
Magneto or electronic ignition system
Fuel filter element
Air cleaner elements
Crankcase
Cylinder head
Breather chamber and internal parts
Intake pipe and tube

Foreword

This manual is designed primarily for use by trained m echanics 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 as to 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, and the use of substitute tools may ad­versely affect safe operation.
To get the longest life out of your engine:
Follow the Periodic Maintenance Chart in the
Service Manual.
Be alert for problems and non-scheduled
maintenance.
Use proper tools and genuine Kaw asaki en-
gine parts. 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.

1-2 GENERAL INFORMATION
Before Servicing
Before starting to service the engine, carefully read the applicable section to eliminate unnecessary work. Photographs, diagrams, notes, cautions, warnings, and detailed descriptions have been in­cluded wherever necessary. Nevertheless, even a detailed account has limitations, a certain amount of basic knowledge is required for successful work.
Especially note the following:
(1) Dirt
Before removal and disassembly, clean the engine. Any dirt entering the engine, carburetor, or other parts, will work as an abrasive and shorten the life of engine. For the same reason, before installing a new part, clean off any dust or metal filings.
(2) 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 evenly, in a staggered sequence. This is to avoid distortion of the part and/or causing gas or oil leakage. Conversely when loosening the bolts, nuts, or screws, first loosen all of them by about a quarter of a turn and then remove them. Where there is a tightening sequence indication in this Service Manual, t he bolts, nuts, or screws must be tightened in the order and method indicated.
(3) Torque
When torque values are given in this Service Manual, use them. Either too little or too much torque may lead to serious damage. Use a good quality, reliable torque wrench.
(4) Force
Common sense should dictate how much force is necessary in assembly and disassembly. If a part seems especially difficult to remove or install, stop and examine what may be causing the problem. Whenever tapping is necessary, t ap lightly using a wooden or plastic-faced mallet. Use an impact driver for screws (particularly for the removal of screws held by a locking agent) in order to avoid damaging the heads.
(5) Edges
Watch for sharp edges, especially during m ajor engine disassembly and assembly. Protect your hands with gloves or a piece of thick cloth when lifting the engine or turning it over.
(6) High-Flash Point Solvent
A high-flash point solvent is recommended to reduce fire danger. A commercial solvent com­monly available in North America is Standard solvent (generic name). Always follow manufacturer and container directions regarding the use of any solvent.
(7) Gasket, O-Ring
Do not reuse a gasket or O-ring once it has been in service. The mating surfaces around the gasket should be free of foreign matter and perfectly smooth to avoid oil or compression leaks.
(8) Press
A part installed using a press or driver, such as a journal, should first be coated with oil on its outer or inner circumference so that it will go into place smoothly.
(9) Oil Seal and Grease Seal
Replace any oil or grease seals that were removed with new ones, as removal generally dam­ages seals.
When pressing in a seal which has manufacturer’s marks, press it in with the marks facing out. Seals should be pressed into place using a suitable driver, which contacts evenly with the side of seal, until the face of the seal is even with the end of the hole.
(10)Seal Guide
A seal guide is required for certain oil or grease seals during installation to avoid damage to the seal lips. Before a shaft passes through a seal, apply a little oil, preferably high temperature grease on the lips to reduce rubber to metal friction.
(11)Lubrication
Engine wear is generally at its maximum while the engine is warming up and before all the rubbing surfaces have an adequate lubricative film. During assembly, oil or grease (whichever is more suitable) should be applied to any rubbing surface which has lost its lubricative film. Old
GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3
Before Servicing
grease and dirty oil should be cleaned off. Deteriorated grease has lost its lubricative quality and may contain abrasive foreign particles.
Don’t use just any oil or grease. Some oils and greases in particular should be used only in certain applications and may be harmful if used in an application for which they are not intended. This manual m akes reference to molybdenum disulfide grease (MoS2) in the assembly of certain engine parts. Always check manufacturer recommendations before using such special lubricants.
(12)Electrical Wires
All the electrical wires are either single-color or two-color and, with only a few exceptions, must be connected to wires of the same color. On any of the two-color wires there is a greater amount of one color and a lesser amount of a second color, so a two-color wire is identified by first the primary color and then the secondary color. For example, a yellow wire with thin red stripes is referred to as a " yellow/red" wire; it would be a "red/yellow" wire if the colors were reversed to make red the main color.
(13)Replacement Parts
When there is a replacement instruction, replace these parts with new ones every time they are removed. There replacement parts will be damaged or lose their original function once removed.
(14)Inspection
When parts have been disassembled, visually inspect these parts for the following conditions or other damage. If there is any doubt as to the condition of them, replace them with new ones.
Abrasion Crack Hardening Warp Bent Dent Scratch Wear Color change Deterioration Seizure
(15)Specifications
Specification terms are defined as follows:
"Standards" show dimensions or performances which brand-new parts or systems have.
"Service Limits" indicate the usable limits. If the measurement shows excessive wear or dete­riorated performance, replace the damaged parts.

2-8 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Air Cleaner Housing (Case and Body) Inspection
Clean the housing with detergent and water and dry thor-
oughly.
Check the housing for deformation or other damage. The
housing must seal well and permit only filtered air to reach
the carburetor.
If the housing is damaged, it must be replaced.
Check that no foreign material is obstructing the air pas-
sage.
Engine Top End
Cylinder Head Cleaning and Inspection
Remove the cylinder head (see Engine Top End chapter).
Scrape the carbon deposits from the head and exhaust
port with a suitable tool [A].
To avoid gouging, use scrapers that are made of a m ate-
rial that w ill not cause damage.
Clean the head in a bath of high flash-point solvent and
dry it with com pressed air.
WARNING
Clean the cylinder head in a well-ventilated area,
and take care that there are no sparks or flame any-
where near the working area, this includes any ap-
pliance with a pilot light. Do not use gasoline or a
low flash-point solvent to clean the cylinder head.
A fire or explosion could result.
Straight edge [A] across the mating surface of the head at
several different points, and measure warp by inserting a
thickness gauge [B] between the straightedge and head.
If warp exceeds the service limit, repair the mating sur-
face. Replace the cylinder head if the mating surface is
badly damaged.

Cylinder Head Warp

Service Limit: 0.03 mm (0.001 in.)
Check the cylinder head for cracks or other damage.
Cracks not visible to the eye may be detached by using
a metal crack detection system (Visual color check: com-
monly found at automotive parts tore.).
If a crack is present in the cylinder head, replace it.
Inspect the mating surface for burrs and nicks.
Valve Clearance Inspection
NOTE
Valve clearance must be checked when the engine is cold (at room temperature).
Remove the rocker cover (see Engine Top End chapter).
Place the piston at top dead center (TDC) of the compres-
sion stroke turning the crankshaft rotational direction.
Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Then check the valve clearance.
Using a thickness gauge [A], measure the valve clearance beween the rocker arm [B] and the valve stem end. If the valve clearance is incorrect, adjust it.

Valve Clearance (when cold)

Intake, Exhaust
Valve Clearance Ad justment
Since valve repairs change the valve clearance, adjust
the valve clearance to the specification. Assemble the cylinder head and install the cylinder head
assembly on the block (see Engine Top End chapter). Turn the crankshaft to the proper direction until the piston
is at TDC of the compression stroke (described above). Loosen the lock screws [A] and valve clearance adjusting
nuts [B]. Insert a 0.10 mm (0.004 in.) thickness gauge [C] between
the rocker arm and valve stem, and tighten the adjusting nut until the thickness gauge begins to bind between the rocker arm and valve stem end. Use a sweeping motion with the thickness gauge while making this adjustment.

Valve Seat Inspection
Remove the valve (see Engine Top End chapter).
Inspect the valve seats for damage.
If the seats are warped or distorted beyond recondition­ing, replace the cylinder head. Pitted or worn valve seats can be refaced. Lap the valves
to the seats after refacing. Coat the valve seat with machinist’s dye.
Push the valve into the guide.
Rotate the valve against the seat with a lapping tool.
Pull the valve out, and check the seating pattern on the
valve head. It must be the correct width [A] and even all the way around.

Seat Cutter Operating Cares:
1. This valve seat cutter is designed only for valve seat re-
pair. Therefore the cutter must not be used for other pur­poses.
2. Do not drop or hit the valve seat cutter, or the diamond
particles may fall off.
3. Do not fail to apply engine oil to the valve seat cutter
before grinding the seat surface. Also wash off ground particles sticking to the cutter with washing oil.
NOTE
Do not use a wire brush to remove the metal particles from the cutter. It will take off the diamond particles.
4. Setting t he valve seat cutter holder [A] in position, op-
erate the cutter [B] with one hand [C]. Do not apply too much force to the diamond portion.
NOTE
Prior to grinding, apply oil to the cutter, and during t he operation wash off any ground particles sticking to the cutter with washing oil.
5. After use wash the cutter with washing oil and apply a
thin layer of engine oil before storing.

Operating Procedures:
Clean the seat area carefully.
Recondition the valve seats with the valve seat cutters
(45
,32) and lap the valves.
Check the seats for good contact all the way around with
machinist’s dye. Measure the seat width [A]. If it is more than the STD
width, the seating surface should be refaced. If the valve seating pattern is not correct, repair the seat.
Cutter angle [A]
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-11
Coat the seat with machinist’s dye.
Fit a 45 seat cutter [A] to the holder and slide it into the
valve guide. Resurface the valve seat with a 45 cutter, removing only enough material to produce a smooth and concentric seat.
CAUTION
Do not grind the seat too much. Overgrinding will reduce valve clearance by sinking the valve into the head. If the valve sinks too far into the head, i t will be impossible to adjust the clearance, and the cylin­der head must be replaced. Do not turn the cutter counterclockwise or drop it against the seat, or it will be dulled.
2-12 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Use a 32 seat cutter [A] to narrow the seat width to the
STD width.
Turn the seat cutter one turn at a time while pressing down
very lightly. Check the seat width after each turn.
CAUTION
The 32 cutter removes material very quickly.
Check the seat width frequently to prevent over
grinding.
NOTE
Keep the seat width as close as possible to the STD width.
Make a light pass with the 45 cutter to remove any pos-
sible burrs at the edge of the seat.
After resurfacing the seat, inspect for even valve seating.
Apply a machinist’s dye to the valve face, insert the
valve, and snap it closed against the seat several times.
The valve surface should show good contact all the way
around. Be sure the valve seat is centered on the valve
face. The position of the valve in the seat is evident after
lapping the valve.
If the seat does not make proper contact, lap the valve
into seat with a vacuum cap tool.
Coat the face of valve sparingly with a fine lapping com-
pound.
Use the vacuum cup tool [A], to grip top of the valve [B].
Rotate the valve in a circular motion to lap the valve to the
seat.
Lift the valve slightly from the seat every 8 to 10 strokes,
continue lapping operation until a uniform ring appears
around entire surface of the valve face.
When lapping is completed, wash all parts in solvent to
remove lapping compound. Dry the parts thoroughly.
Note the position of the lapping m ark on the valve face.
The lapping mark should appear on or near the center of
the valve face.
When the engine is assembled, be sure to adjust the valve
clearances (see Valve Clearance Adjustment).
Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Lubrication System
Oil Level Inspection
Place the engine on a level surface.
Remove the oil filler cap [A] and wipe its dipstick [B] with
a clean cloth. Insert the dipstick into gauge hole [C] without screwing it
in, then check the oil Level.
The oil level should be the operating range [A] (grid area)
on the dipstick. If the oil level is below “ADD” range [B], add enough en­gine oil to bring oil level to the operating range.
CAUTION
Do not add more oil above the operating range. Ex­cess oil will cause a smoking condition.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-13
Use the same type and make of oil that is already in the engine.
NOTE
If the engine oil type and make are unknown, use any brand of the specified oil to top up the level in preference to running the engine with the oil level low. Then at your earliest convenience, change the oil completely.
If the oil level is above “FULL” range [C], drain the excess oil by loosening the drain plug.
Oil Change
Change the oil after first 8 hours of operation. Thereafter
change oil every 100 hours. Start and warm up the engine so the oil will drain easily.
Stop the engine. Place the engine on a level surface.
Place a suitable container under the engine.
Remove the drain plug [A] and drain the oil.
WARNING
Be careful of hot oil when drained. It m ay be hot enough to burn you severely.
Check the washer [B] at the drain plug for damage. Re-
place the washer with a new one if it is damaged. Install the drain plug with the washer and tighten it.

Spark Plug Cleaning and Inspection
Remove the spark plug (See Electrical System chapter).
If the plug is oily or has carbon build up on it, clean the
plug using a high flash-point solvent and a wire brush or
other suitable tool.
If the spark plug electrodes are corroded or damaged,
or if the insulator is cracked, replace the plug. Use the
standard spark plug or its equivalent.

Spark Plug Gap Inspection
Measure the gap with a wire-type thickness gauge.
If the gap is incorrect, carefully bend the side electrode
with a suitable tool to obtain the correct gap.
