The following tables list the tightening torque for the major fasteners requiring use of a non-permanent locking agent or silicone sealant etc.
Letters used in the “Remarks” column mean: AL: Tighten the two clamp bolts alternately two times to ensure even tightening torque.
G: Apply grease.
L: Apply a non-permanent locking agent.
Lh: Left-hand Threads
MO: Apply molybdenum disulfide oil solution.
(mixture of the engine oil and molybdenum disulfide grease in a weight ratio 10:1)
R: Replacement Parts
S: Follow the specified tightening sequence.
Si: Apply silicone grease (ex. PBC grease).
SS: Apply silicone sealant.
The table below, relating tightening torque to thread diameter, lists the basic torque for the bolts and nuts. Use this table for only the bolts and nuts which do not require a specific torque value. All of the values are for use with dry solvent-cleaned threads.

Front Fork Inspection
Holding the brake lever, pump the
front fork up and down several times
to inspect smooth stroke.
Visually inspect the front fork for oil
leakage, scoring or scratches on the
outer surface of the inner tube.
If any doubt about the front fork, it
should be checked by an authorized

Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System (KIBS,
For models equipped with KIBS)
KIBS regulates anti-lock braking performance
with more precision during
sports riding compared to a conventional
ABS system.
KIBS is designed to help prevent
the wheels from locking up when the
brakes are applied hard while riding
straight. KIBS automatically regulates
brake force using en ...
