EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION
Toprotect the environment in which weall live, Kawasaki has incorporatedcrankcaseemission
(1) and exhaust emission (2) control systems (EM) in compliance with applicable regulations of
the United States Environmental P rotection 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 opti-
mum 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 w ith the original emission related part:

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) Battery Ground
Remove the ground (–) lead from the battery before performing any disassembly operations on
the equipment. This prevents:
(a)t he possibility of accidentally turning the engine over while partially disassembled.
(b)sparks at electrical connections which will occur when they are disconnected.
(c)damage t o electrical parts.
(3) 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, the bolts, nuts, or screws
must be tightened in the order and method indicated.
(4) 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.
(5) 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,tap lightly using a wooden or plastic-faced mallet. Use
an impact driver f or screws (particularlyfor the removal of screws held by a locking agent) in order
to avoid damaging the heads.
(6) Edges
Watchfor sharp edges, especiallyduring major engine disassembly and assembly. Protect your
hands with gloves or a piece of thick cloth when lifting the engine or turning it over.
(7) High-Flash Point Solvent
A high-flash point solvent is recommended to reduce fire danger. A commercial solvent commonlyavailable in North America is Standard solvent (genericname). Alwaysfollow manufacturer
and container directions regarding the use of any solvent.
(8) 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.
(9) Liquid Gasket, Non-Permanent Locking Agent
Follow manufacturer ’s directions for cleaning and preparing surfaces where these compounds
will be used. Apply sparingly. Excessive amounts may block engine oil passages and cause
serious damage. An example of a non-permanent locking agent commonly available in North
America is Loctite Lock’n Seal (Blue).
(10)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.
(11)B all Bearing, Needle Bearing
Do not remove a ball bearing or a needle bearing unless it is absolutely necessary. Replace any
ball or needle bearings that were removed with new ones. Install bearings with the manufacturer
and size marks facing out, applying pressure evenly with a suitable driver to the end of the race
that contacts the press fit portion, and press it evenly over the base component.
Page 11
GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3
Before Servicing
(12)Oil Seal and Grease Seal
Replace any oil or grease seals that were removed with new ones, as removal generally dam-
ages 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.
(13)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.
(14)Circlip, Retaining Ring and Cotter Pin
When installing circlips and retaining rings, take care to compress or expand them only enough
to install them and no more. Install the circlip with i ts chamfered side facing load side as well.
Replace any circlips, retaining rings, and cotter pins that were removed with new ones, as removal weakens and deforms them. If old ones are reused, they could become detached while
running, leading to a problem.
(15)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
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 makes reference to molybdenum disulfide grease (MoS2) in the assembly of certain
engine parts. Always check manufacturer recommendations before using such special lubricants.
(16)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.
(17)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.
(18)Inspection
When parts have been disassembled, visually inspect these parts for the following conditions
or other damage. If there i s any doubt as to the condition of them, replace them with new ones.

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 lapper.
Coat the face of valve sparingly with a fine lapping com-

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.

Periodic Maintenance Procedures
When lapping is completed, wash all parts in solvent to
•
remove lapping compound. Dry the parts thoroughly.
Note the position of the lapping mark on the valve face.

Carburetor
Fuel and Air Flow
FX Models
The main system of the carburetor consists of the main jet [A], valve seat [B], main nozzle [C], and
the main air passage [D] (main air jet [E]). The main system meters fuel to the engine during m oderate
to heavy load conditions. Fuel flows through the main jet and into the main nozzle, where it is joined
by air from the main air passage (main air orifice). The resulting mixture flows out the end of the main
nozzle into t he carburetor bore, where it is atomized by the high speed air flow, and carried into the
engine.
Page 49
FUEL SYSTEM 3-15
Carburetor
The pilot system includes the pilot jet [F], pilot screw [G] (Idle mixture screw), pilot outlet [H], and
the bypass holes [I]. The pilot system meters the fuel/air mixture while the engine is idling and running
under a light load. Under these conditions there is very little air flow through the carburetor bore;
so little that it is not enough to draw fuel through the main system of the carburetor and atomize it.
Instead, the fuel is drawn through the pilot system, since the nearly closed throttle valve [J] causes
high speed air flow past the pilot outlet and bypass holes (even at low engine speed).
Fuel flow in the pilot system is metered by the pilot jet. Air for better atomization is admitted via the
pilot air jet in the mouth of the carburetor. The fuel/air mixture passes into the bore of the carburetor
side stream of the throttle valve through the bypass holes and pilot outlet. While the throttle valve is
almost closed, it covers the small bypass holes opening into the bore from the pilot system. As the
throttle valve begins to open, it uncovers the bypass holes, allowing more fuel/air mixture to flow. The
extra flow is needed because the engine starts to run f aster as the throttle is opened. The pilot screw
controls the amount of fuel/air mixture allowed through the pilot outlet, but does not meter the bypass
holes. A moderate amount of air comes in around the throttle valve at an idle, so adjusting the pilot
screw changes the fuel/air ratio. Turning the pilot screw (Idle mixture screw) out (Counterclockwise)
enrichens the mixture; turning it in (clockwise) leans the mixture.

Carburetor
FR and FS Models
The main system of the carburetor consists of the main
jet [A], main nozzle [B], and the main air passage [C] (main
air jet [D]). The main system meters fuel to the engine during moderate to heavy load conditions. Fuel flows through
the main jet and into the main nozzle, where it is joined by
air from the m ain air passage (main air jet). The resulting
mixture flows out the end of the main nozzle into the carburetor bore, where it is atomized by the high speed air flow,
and carried into the engine.
The pilot system includes the pilot jet [E], pilot screw [F]
(idle mixture screw), pilot air jet [G], pilot outlet [H], and the
bypassholes[I].The pilot system meters the fuel/airmixture
while the engine is idling and running under a light load.
Under these conditions there is very little air flow through
thecarburetor bore; so littlethat it is not enough to draw fuel
through the main system of the carburetor and atomize it.
Instead, the fuel isdrawn through thepilot system, sincethe
nearly closed throttle valve [J] causes high speed air flow
past the pilot outlet and bypass holes (even at low engine
speed).
Fuel flow in the pilot system is metered by the pilot jet. Air
for better atomization is admitted via the pilot air jet in the
mouth of the carburetor. The fuel/air mixture passes into
the bore of the carburetor side stream of the throttle valve
through the bypass holes and pilot outlet. While the throttle valve is almost closed, it covers the small bypass holes
opening into the bore from the pilot system. As the throttle
valve begins to open, it uncovers the bypass holes, allowing more fuel/air mixture to flow. The extra flow is needed
because the engine starts to run faster as the throttle is
opened. The pilot screw controls the amount of fuel/air
mixture allowed through the pilot outlet, but does not meter the bypass holes. A moderate amount of air comes in
around the throttle valve at idle, so adjusting the pilot screw
changes the fuel/air ratio. Turning the pilot screw (idle mixture screw) out (counterclockwise) enriches the mixture;
turning it in (clockwise) leans the mixture.

Carburetor Cleaning
WARNING
Clean the carburetor in a well-ventilated area, and
take care that there is no sparks or flame anywhere
near the working area; this includes any appliance
with a pilot light. Because of the danger of highly
flammable liquids, do not use gasoline or low-flash
point solvents to clean the carburetors.
CAUTION
Do not use compressed air on an assembled carburetor, or the floats may be crushed by the pressure.
Remove as many rubber or plastic parts from the
carburetor as possible before cleaning the carburetor with a cleaning solution. This w ill prevent dam age to or deterioration of the parts.
The carburetor body has plastic parts that cannot be removed. Do not use a strong carburetor
cleaning solution which could attack these parts;
instead, use a mild high-flash point cleaning solution safe for plastic parts.
Do not use wire or any other hard instrument to
clean carburetor parts, especially jets, as they may
be damaged.
Disassemble the carburetor (see Carburetor Disassem-
•
bly/Assembly).
Immerse all the carburetor metal parts in a carburetor
•
cleaning solution and clean them.
Rinse the parts in water and dry them with compressed
•
air.
Do not use rags or paper to dry parts. Lint may plug the
•
holes or passages.
Blow air through the holes and fuel passages with the
•
compressed air. All holes must be open.

Compression Measurement
Before measuring compression, do the following.
•
Be sure the battery is fully charged.
○
Thoroughly warm up the engine so that engine oil be-
○
tween the piston and cylinder wall will help sealing the
compression as it does during normal running.
Stop the engine.
○
Disconnect the spark plug caps of each cylinder and re-
•
move the spark plugs.
Attach the compression gauge assembly firmly into one
•
plug hole.

WARNING
To avoid fire, do not ground the spark plugs in proximity to the plug holes. Keep the plugs as far away
as possible from the plug holes.
ENGINE TOP END 5-7
Open the throttle fully. Run the engine by turning the en-
•
gineswitchkeyseveraltimesuntilthecompressiongauge
stops rising. Read the highest compression value.
If the compression is higher than the specified value, the
pistonrings,cylinderandvalvesare probably in good condition.
If the compression is too high, check the following.
1. Carbon build-up on the piston crown and cylinder head
- clean off any carbon on the piston crown and cylinder
head.
2. Cylinder head gasket - use only the proper gasket. The
use of a gasket of incorrect thickness will change the
compression.
3. Valve guides and piston rings - rapid carbon accumulation in the combustion chamber may be caused by worn
valve guides and/or worn piston oil rings. This may be
indicated by white exhaust smoke.
If the cylinder compression is lower than the (MIN), check
the following.
1. Gas leakage around the cylinder head - replace the
damaged gasket with a new one and check the cylinder
head warp.
2. Condition of the valve seating.
3. Valve clearance.
4. Piston/cylinder wear, piston seizure.
5. Piston ring, piston ring groove.

•
Use a micrometer to measure at several points around
○
the rings.
If any of the measurement are less t han the service limit,
replace the entire set of rings with new ones.
Piston Ring Thickness
Service Limit:
Top1.1 mm (0.043 in.)
Second1.1 mm (0.043 in.)
NOTE
When using new rings in a used piston, check for un-
○
even groove wear. The ringsshould fit perfectly parallel
tothe groove sides. If not, replace the piston witha new
one.

Piston Ring End Gap
Remove the piston rings (see Piston Removal).
•
Push each ring (one at a time) in the cylinder bore to a
•
point close to the bottom of the cylinder bore.
Use the piston to push it in to be sure it is square.
○
Measure the gap [A] between the ends of the ring [B] with
•
a thickness gauge.
If the end gap of any ring is greater than the service limit,
replace the entire set of rings with new ones.

Cylinder Boring and Honing
Always resize to exactly 0.5 mm (0.02 in.) over the standard bore size. If this is done accurately, the stock oversize
rings and piston will fit perfectly and proper clearance will
be maintained. Resizing the cylinder bore can be done by
reliablerepair shop or by using a drill press and honing tool.
Use the stone recommended by the hone manufacturer to
produce correct cylinder wall finish. Machine-bore first, the
bore diameters should be shown in the table.
