Your Kawasaki Motorcycle has been designed and manufactured to provide you optimum safety and convenience.
However, in order to fully benefit from Kawasaki’s safety engineering and craftsmanship, it is essential that you, the owner and operator, properly maintain your motorcycle and become thoroughly familiar with its operation.
Improper maintenance can create a dangerous situation known as throttle failure. Two of the most common causes of throttle failure are:
1. An improperly serviced or clogged air cleaner may allow dirt and dust to enter the throttle body and stick the throttle open.
2. During removal of the air cleaner, dirt is allowed to enter and jam the fuel injection system.
In an emergency situation such as throttle failure, your vehicle may be stopped by applying the brakes and disengaging the clutch. Once this stopping procedure is initiated, the engine stop switch may be used to stop the engine. If the engine stop switch is used, turn off the ignition switch after stopping the motorcycle.
