Kawasaki Ninja Service Manual: Inquiries to Rider

Kawasaki Ninja Service Manual / Brakes / KIBS (Equipped Models) / Inquiries to Rider

Each rider reacts to problems in different ways, so it is important to confirm what kind of condition the rider is dissatisfied with.

The diagnosis sheet will help prevent you from overlooking any keys, so always use it.
