Kawasaki Clean Air System
The Kawasaki Clean Air System
(KCA) is a secondary air suction system
that helps the exhaust gases to
burn more completely. When the spent
fuel charge is released into the exhaust
system, it is still hot enough to
burn. The KCA System allows extra
air into the exhaust system so that the
spen ...
Water Temperature Sensor Inspection
Remove the water temperature sensor (see Water Temperature
Sensor Removal/Installation in the Fuel System
(DFI) chapter).
Suspend the sensor [A] in a container of coolant so that
the temperature-sensing projection [C] is submerged.
Suspend an accurate thermometer [B] with temperature

Valve-to-Guide Clearance Measurement (Wobble Method)
If a small bore gauge is not available, inspect the valve
guide wear by measuring the valve to valve guide clearance
with the wobble method as indicated below.
Insert a new valve [A] into the guide [B] and set a dial
gauge against the stem perpendicular to it as close as
possible to the cy ...
