Kawasaki Ninja Service Manual / Fuel System (DFI) / Evaporative Emission Control System (CAL and SEA-B1 Models) / Separator Operation Test

WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Do not smoke. Make sure the area is well-ventilated and free from any source of flame or sparks; this includes any appliance with a pilot light.

Separator Operation Test

Connect the hoses to the separator, and install the separator on the motorcycle.
Disconnect the breather hose from the separator, and inject about 20 mL (0.68 US oz.) of gasoline [A] into the separator [B] through the hose fitting.
Disconnect the fuel return hose [C] from the fuel tank [D].
Run the open end of the return hose into the container and hold it level with the tank top [E].
Start the engine, and let it idle.

If the gasoline in the separator comes out of the hose, the separator works well. If it does not, replace the separator with a new one.

Valve Clearance Adjustment
To change the valve clearance, remove the camshafts (see Camshaft Removal in the Engine Top End chapter) and valve lifters. Replace the shim with one of a different thickness. NOTE Mark and record the locations of the valve lifters and shims so that they can be reinstalled in their ...

Valve Clearance
Valve and valve seat wear decreases valve clearance, upsetting valve timing. NOTICE If valve clearance is left unadjusted, wear will eventually cause the valves to remain partly open; which lowers performance, burns the valves and valve seats, and may cause serious engine damage. Valve cle ...

Subthrottle Valve Actuator Resistance Inspection
Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Disconnect the subthrottle valve actuator connector [A]. Connect a digital meter to the subthrottle valve actuator connector [A]. Measure the subthrottle valve actuator resistance. Subthrottle Valve Actuator Resistance Connections: Y/BK lead [1 ...
