NOTE
In dusty areas, the element should be replaced more frequently than the recommended interval.
| WARNING If dirt or dust is allowed to pass through into the throttle body assy, the throttle may become stuck, possibly causing accident. Replace the air cleaner element according to the maintenance chart. |
NOTICE
If dirt gets through into the engine, excessive engine wear and possibly engine damage will occur.
NOTICE
Use only the recommended air cleaner element (Kawasaki part number 11013-0041). Using another air cleaner element will wear the engine prematurely or lower the engine performance.

Tire Tread Wear Inspection

life (90% worn). So it is false economy and unsafe to use
the tires until they are bald.
Measure the tread depth a ...
Spring Tension Inspection
Since a spring becomes shorter as it weakens, check its
free length [A] to determine its condition.
If the spring of either fork leg is shorter than the service
limit, it must be replaced. If the length of a replacement
spring and that of the remaining spring vary greatly, the
remaining s ...
