EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION

To protect the environment in which we all live, Kawasaki has incorporated crankcase emis-
sion (1), exhaust emission (2) and evaporative emission (3) control systems in compliance with
applicable regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and California Air
Resources Board.
1. Crankcase Emission Control System
A sealed-type crankcase emission control system is used to eliminate blow-by gases. The blow
-by gases are led to the breather chamber through the crankcase to the inlet manifold.
Oil is separated from the gases while passing through the inside of the breather chamber from
the crankcase, and then returned to the bottom of the crankcase.
2. Exhaust Emission Control System
The exhaust emission control system applied to this engine family is engine modifications that
consist of fuel injection system and ignition system having optimum ignition timing characteristics.
The fuel injection system has been calibrated to provide lean air/fuel mixture characteristics and
optimum fuel economy with a suitable air cleaner and exhaust system.
A maintenance free injection system provides the most ignition timing and helps maintain a thor-
ough combustion process within the engine which contributes to a reduction of exhaust pollutants
entering the atmosphere.
3-1. Evaporative Emission Control System (other than CAL model and KAF620MB ∼/PB ∼)
The evaporative emission control system for this MULE utility vehicle consists of low permeation
fuel hoses.
3-2. Evaporative Emission Control System (CAL model and KAF620MB ∼/PB ∼)
The evaporative emission control system for this vehicle consists of low permeation fuel hoses
and fuel tank.
Also, vapors caused by fuel evaporation in the fuel system are not vented into the atmosphere.
Instead, fuel vapors are routed into the running engine to be burned, or stored in a canister when
the engine is stopped.
The Clean Air Act, which is the Federal law covering motor vehicle pollution, contains what is
commonly referred to as the Act’s “tampering provisions”.
“Sec. 203(a) The following acts and the causing thereof are prohibited.
(3)(A) for any person to remove or render inoperative any device or element of design installed
on or in a motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine in compliance with regulations under this
title prior to its sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser, or for any manufacturer or dealer
knowingly to remove or render inoperative any such device or element of design after such
sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser.
(3)(B) for any person engaged in the business of repairing, servicing, selling, leasing, or trading
motor vehicles or motor vehicle engines, or who operates a fleet of motor vehicles know-
ingly to remove or render inoperative any device or element of design installed on or in a
motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine in compliance with regulations under this title follow-
ing its sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser...”
NOTE
○The phrase “remove or render inoperative any device or element of design” has been generally
interpreted as follows.
1. Tampering does not include the temporary removal or rendering inoperative of de-
vices or elements of design in order to perform maintenance.
2. Tampering could include.
a.Maladjustment of vehicle components such that the emission standards are ex-
ceeded.
b.Use of replacement parts or accessories which adversely affect the performance
or durability of the vehicle.
c.Addition of components or accessories that result in the vehicle exceeding the stan-
dards.
d.Permanently removing, disconnecting, or rendering inoperative any component or
element of design of the emission control systems.
WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL DEALERS OBSERVE THESE PROVISIONS OF FEDERAL
LAW, THE VIOLATION OF WHICH IS PUNISHABLE BY CIVIL PENALTIES NOT EXCEEDING
$10 000 PER VIOLATION.
PLEASE DO NOT TAMPER WITH NOISE CONTROL SYSTEM
(US Model only)

To minimize the noise emissions from this product, Kawasaki has equipped it with effective
inlet and exhaust silencing systems. They are designed to give optimum performance while
maintaining a low noise level. Please do not remove these systems, or alter them in any way
which results in an increase in noise level.

1-2 GENERAL INFORMATION
Before Servicing
Before starting to perform an inspection service or carry out a disassembly and reassembly oper-
ation on a vehicle, read the precautions given below. To facilitate actual operations, notes, illustra-
tions, photographs, cautions, and detailed descriptions have been included in each chapter wherever
necessary. This section explains the items that require particular attention during the removal and
reinstallation or disassembly and reassembly of general parts.
Especially note the following.
Battery Ground
Before completing any service on the vehicle, disconnect
the battery cables from the battery to prevent the engine
from accidentally turning over. Disconnect the ground cable
(–) first and then the positive (+). When completed with the
service, first connect the positive (+) cable to the positive
(+) terminal of the battery then the negative (–) cable to the
negative terminal.

Edges of Parts
Lift large or heavy parts wearing gloves to prevent injury
from possible sharp edges on the parts.

Solvent
Use a high flash-point solvent when cleaning parts. High
flash-point solvent should be used according to directions
of the solvent manufacturer.

Cleaning Vehicle before Disassembly


Clean the vehicle thoroughly before disassembly. Dirt or
other foreign materials entering into sealed areas during ve-
hicle disassembly can cause excessive wear and decrease
performance of the vehicle.
GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3
Before Servicing
Arrangement and Cleaning of Removed Parts
Disassembled parts are easy to confuse. Arrange the
parts according to the order the parts were disassembled
and clean the parts in order prior to assembly.

Storage of Removed Parts


After all the parts including subassembly parts have been
cleaned, store the parts in a clean area. Put a clean cloth
or plastic sheet over the parts to protect from any foreign
materials that may collect before re-assembly.

Inspection
Reuse of worn or damaged parts may lead to serious ac-
cident. Visually inspect removed parts for corrosion, discol-
oration, or other damage. Refer to the appropriate sections
of this manual for service limits on individual parts. Replace
the parts if any damage has been found or if the part is be-
yond its service limit.

Replacement Parts
Replacement Parts must be KAWASAKI genuine or
recommended by KAWASAKI. Gaskets, O-rings, oil seals,
grease seals, circlips, cotter pins or self-locking nuts must
be replaced with new ones whenever disassembled.

Assembly Order
In most cases assembly order is the reverse of disassem-
bly, however, if assembly order is provided in this Service
Manual, follow the procedures given.
1-4 GENERAL INFORMATION
Before Servicing
Tightening Sequence
Generally, when installing a part with several bolts, nuts,
or screws, start them all in their holes and tighten them to
a snug fit. Then tighten them according to the specified se-
quence to prevent case warpage or deformation which can
lead to malfunction. Conversely when loosening the bolts,
nuts, or screws, first loosen all of them by about a quar-
ter turn and then remove them. If the specified tightening
sequence is not indicated, tighten the fasteners alternating
diagonally.

Tightening Torque
Incorrect torque applied to a bolt, nut, or screw may
lead to serious damage. Tighten fasteners to the specified
torque using a good quality torque wrench.

Force
Use common sense during disassembly and assembly,
excessive force can cause expensive or hard to repair dam-
age. When necessary, remove screws that have a non
-permanent locking agent applied using an impact driver.
Use a plastic-faced mallet whenever tapping is necessary.

Gasket, O-ring
Hardening, shrinkage, or damage of both gaskets and
O-rings after disassembly can reduce sealing performance.
Remove old gaskets and clean the sealing surfaces thor-
oughly so that no gasket material or other material remains.
Install the new gaskets and replace the used O-rings when
re-assembling.

Liquid Gasket, Non-permanent Locking Agent


For applications that require Liquid Gasket or a
Non-permanent Locking Agent, clean the surfaces so
that no oil residue remains before applying liquid gasket or
non-permanent locking agent. Do not apply them exces-
sively. Excessive application can clog oil passages and
cause serious damage.
GENERAL INFORMATION 1-5
Before Servicing
Press
For items such as bearings or oil seals that must be
pressed into place, apply small amount of oil to the con-
tact area. Be sure to maintain proper alignment and use
smooth movements when installing.

Ball Bearing and Needle Bearing


Do not remove pressed ball or needle unless removal is
absolutely necessary. Replace with new ones whenever
removed. Press bearings with the manufacturer and size
marks facing out. Press the bearing into place by putting
pressure on the correct bearing race as shown.
Pressing the incorrect race can cause pressure between
the inner and outer race and result in bearing damage.

Oil Seal, Grease Seal


Do not remove pressed oil or grease seals unless removal
is necessary. Replace with new ones whenever removed.
Press new oil seals with manufacture and size marks facing
out. Make sure the seal is aligned properly when installing.

Apply specified grease to the lip of seal before installing


the seal.

Circlips, Cotter Pins


Replace the circlips or cotter pins that were removed with
new ones. Take care not to open the clip excessively when
installing to prevent deformation.
1-6 GENERAL INFORMATION
Before Servicing
Lubrication
It is important to lubricate rotating or sliding parts during
assembly to minimize wear during initial operation. Lubri-
cation points are called out throughout this manual, apply
the specific oil or grease as specified.

Direction of Engine Rotation


When rotating the crankshaft by hand, the free play
amount of rotating direction will affect the adjustment. Ro-
tate the crankshaft to positive direction (clockwise viewed
from right side).

Electrical Wires
A two-color wire is identified first by the primary color and
then the stripe color. Unless instructed otherwise, electrical
wires must be connected to those of the same color.

Instrument
Use a meter that has enough accuracy for an accurate
measurement. Read the manufacture’s instructions thor-
oughly before using the meter. Incorrect values may lead
to improper adjustments.

NOTE
○Whenever the belt is replaced, inspect the drive and the
driven pulleys.

Drive Belt Deflection Inspection


• Remove the torque converter cover (see Torque Con-
verter Cover Removal in the Converter System chapter).
• Put the transmission in neutral and rotate the driven pulley
by hand to make sure the belt is shifted all the way to the
top of the driven pulley.
•Measure the belt deflection as shown:
○Place a straightedge [A] on top of the belt between the
drive pulley [B] and the driven pulley [C].
○Use a ruler to push the belt away from the straightedge.
Push hard, but with no more force than 59 N (6 kg, 13 lb).
Belt Deflection
Standard: 28 ∼ 33 mm (1.1 ∼ 1.3 in.)
Service Limit: 45 mm (1.8 in.)
If the belt deflection is not within the specified range, first
measure the drive belt width (see Converter Drive Belt
Inspection). Adjust the deflection by adding or removing
spacers between the fixed sheave and movable sheave
in the driven pulley.
• When adjusting the deflection, less is better than more.
Less deflection will maintain better performance for more
time as the belt width decreases by normal wear, which
causes the deflection to increase with usage.

Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Drive Belt Deflection Adjustment
• Disassemble the driven pulley (see Driven Pulley Disas-
sembly in the Converter System chapter).
If the belt deflection is more than 45 mm (1.8 in.), remove
the spacer of 1.0 mm (0.039 in.).
○Do not remove the all spacers. Remain any one of spac-
ers to prevent the contact of both sheaves.
○The rule-of-thumb is: 0.1 mm (0.004 in.) change in spacer
thickness equals about 1.3 mm (0.051 in.) change in belt
deflection.
If the belt deflection is less than 28 mm (1.1 in.), add the
spacers [A] to increase it.
○The rule-of-thumb is: 0.1 mm (0.004 in.) change in spacer
thickness equals about 1.6 mm (0.063 in.) change in belt
deflection.

DFI Servicing Precautions
DFI Servicing Precautions
There are a number of important precautions that should
be followed servicing the DFI system.

○This DFI system is designed to be used with a 12 V sealed


battery as its power source. Do not use any other battery
except for a 12 V sealed battery as a power source.
○Do not reverse the battery cable connections. This will
damage the ECU.
○To prevent damage to the DFI parts, do not disconnect the
battery cables or any other electrical connections when
the ignition switch is on or while the engine is running.
○Take care not to short the leads that are directly con-
nected to the battery positive (+) terminal to the chassis
ground.
○When charging, remove the battery from the motorcycle.
This is to prevent ECU damage by excessive voltage.

○Whenever the DFI electrical connections are to be dis-


connected, first turn off the ignition switch, and disconnect
the battery (–) terminal. Do not pull the lead, only the con-
nector. Conversely, make sure that all the DFI electrical
connections are firmly reconnected before starting the en-
gine.
○Connect these connectors until they click [A].

○Do not turn the ignition switch ON while any of the DFI
electrical connectors are disconnected. The ECU memo-
rizes service codes.
○Do not spray water on the electrical parts, DFI parts, con-
nectors, leads and wiring.
○If a transceiver is installed on the vehicle, make sure that
the operation of the DFI system is not influenced by elec-
tric wave radiated from the antenna. Check operation of
the system with the engine at idle. Locate the antenna as
far as possible away from the ECU.
○When any fuel hose is disconnected, do not turn on the
ignition switch. Otherwise, the fuel pump will operate and
fuel will spout from the fuel hose.
○Do not operate the fuel pump if the pump is completely
dry. This is to prevent pump seizure.
○Before removing the fuel system parts, blow the outer sur-
faces of these parts clean with compressed air.
○When any fuel hose is disconnected, fuel may spout out
by residual pressure in the fuel line. Cover the hose joint
with a piece of clean cloth to prevent fuel spillage.
○When installing the fuel hoses, avoid sharp bending, kink-
ing, flattening or twisting, and route the fuel hoses with a
minimum of bending so that the fuel flow will not be ob-
structed.
○Run the hoses according to Cable, Wire, and Hose Rout-
ing section in the Appendix chapter.
○To prevent corrosion and deposits in the fuel system, do
not add to fuel any fuel antifreeze chemicals.
FUEL SYSTEM (DFI) 3-23
DFI Servicing Precautions
○To maintain the correct fuel/air mixture (F/A), there must
be no inlet air leaks in the DFI system. Be sure to install
the oil filler cap [A] and dipstick [B] after filling the engine
oil.
3-24 FUEL SYSTEM (DFI)
Troubleshooting the DFI System
Outline
When an abnormality in the DFI system occurs, the DFI
warning indicator light [A] goes on to alert the driver. In ad-
dition, the condition of the problem is stored in the memory
of the ECU (electronic control unit).
[B] KAF620M9 ∼ MC/N9/P9 ∼ PC
[C] KAF620MD ∼/PD ∼

With the engine stopped and turned in the self-diagnosis


mode, the service code [A] is indicated by the number of
times the DFI warning indicator light blinks.
When due to a malfunction, the DFI warning indicator light
remains lit, first ask the rider about the conditions [B] of
trouble, and then determine the cause [C] of problem.
First, conduct a self-diagnosis inspection and then a
non-self-diagnosis inspection. The non-self-diagnosis
items are not indicated by the DFI warning indicator light.
Do not rely solely on the DFI self-diagnosis function, use
common sense.

Even when the DFI system is operating normally, the DFI


warning indicator light may light up under strong electrical
interference. No repair needed. Turn the ignition switch
OFF to stop the indicator light.
When the DFI warning indicator light goes on and the ve-
hicle is brought in for repair, check the service codes.
When the repair has been done, the light does not go
on. But the service codes stored in memory of the ECU are
not erased to preserve the problem history can be referred
using the KDS (Kawasaki Diagnostic System) when solving
unstable problems.
Much of the DFI system troubleshooting work consists
of confirming continuity of the wiring. The DFI parts are
assembled and adjusted with precision, and it is impossible
to disassemble or repair them.
FUEL SYSTEM (DFI) 3-25
Troubleshooting the DFI System

• When checking the DFI parts, use a digital meter which


can be read two decimal place voltage or resistance.
○The DFI part connectors [A] have seals [B], including the
ECU. When measuring the input or output voltage with the
connector joined, use the needle adapter set [C]. Insert
the needle adapter inside the seal until the needle adapter
reaches the terminal.
Special Tool - Needle Adapter Set: 57001-1457

NOTICE
Insert the needle adapter straight along the terminal
in the connector to prevent short-circuit between
terminals.

• Make sure that measuring points are correct in the con-


nector, noting the position of the lock [D] and the lead
color before measurement. Do not reverse connections
of a digital meter.
• Be careful not to short-circuit the leads of the DFI or elec-
trical system parts by contact between adapters.
• Turn the ignition switch ON and measure the voltage with
the connector joined.
NOTICE
Incorrect, reverse connection or short circuit by
needle adapters could damage the DFI or electrical
system parts.

○After measurement, remove the needle adapters and ap-


ply silicone sealant to the seals [A] of the connector [B]
for waterproofing.
Sealant - Liquid Gasket, TB1211: 56019-120

• Always check battery condition before replacing the DFI


parts. A fully charged battery is a must for conducting
accurate tests of the DFI system.
• Trouble may involve one or in some cases all items.
Never replace a defective part without determining what
CAUSED the problem. If the problem was caused by
some other item or items, they too must be repaired or
replaced, or the new replacement part will soon fail again.
• Measure coil winding resistance when the DFI part is cold
(at room temperature).
• Make sure all connectors in the circuit are clean and tight,
and examine wires for signs of burning, fraying, short,
etc. Deteriorated wires and bad connections can cause
reappearance of problems and unstable operation of the
DFI system.
If any wiring is deteriorated, replace the wiring.
3-26 FUEL SYSTEM (DFI)
Troubleshooting the DFI System

• Pull each connector [A] apart and inspect it for corrosion,


dirt, and damage.
If the connector is corroded or dirty, clean it carefully. If it
is damaged, replace it. Connect the connectors securely.
•Check the wiring for continuity.
○Use the wiring diagram to find the ends of the lead which
is suspected of being a problem.
○Connect a digital meter between the ends of the leads.
○Set the tester to the × 1 Ω range, and read the tester.
If the tester does not read 0 Ω, the lead is defective. Re-
place the lead or the main harness.

○If both ends of a harness [A] are far apart, ground [B] the
one end [C], using a jumper lead [D] and check the con-
tinuity between the end [E] and the ground [F]. This en-
ables to check a long harness for continuity. If the harness
is open, repair or replace the harness.

○When checking a harness [A] for short circuit, open one


end [B] and check the continuity between the other end
[C] and ground [D]. If there is continuity, the harness has
a short circuit to ground, and it must be repaired or re-
placed.

• Narrow down suspicious locations by repeating the con-


tinuity tests from the ECU connectors.
If no abnormality is found in the wiring or connectors, the
DFI parts are the next likely suspects. Check the part,
starting with input and output voltages. However, there is
no way to check the ECU itself.
If an abnormality is found, replace the affected DFI part.
If no abnormality is found in the wiring, connectors, and
DFI parts, replace the ECU.

Self-diagnosis Outline
The self-diagnosis system has two modes and can be
switched to another mode by grounding the self-diagnosis
terminal (LG/BK) in the KDS connector.
User Mode
The ECU notifies the driver of troubles in DFI system and
ignition system by lighting the DFI warning indicator light [A]
when DFI and ignition system parts are faulty, and initiates
fail-safe function. In case of serious troubles ECU stops the
injection/ignition/starter motor operation.

Dealer Mode
The DFI warning indicator light emits the service code(s)
[A] to show the problem(s) which the DFI system and igni-
tion system has at the moment of diagnosis.

Self-diagnosis Procedures
○When a problem occurs with the DFI system and ignition
system, the DFI warning indicator light [A] goes on.

Service Code Reading


○Service codes are shown by a series of long and short blinks of the DFI warning indicator lights
shown below.
○Read 10th digit and unit digit as the DFI warning indicator light blinks.
○When there are a number of problem, all the service codes can be stored and the display will be-
gin starting from the lowest number service code in the numerical order. Then after completing all
codes, the display is repeated until the self-diagnosis terminal is opened.
○For example, if four problems occurred in the order of 24, 11, 14, 13, the service codes are displayed
from the lowest number in the order listed.
(11→13→14→24) → (11→13→14→24) → (repeated)
○If there is no problem or when the repair has been done, no service code is shown.

Note:
D-J Method: The ECU determines the injection quantity by calculating from the throttle vacuum
(inlet air pressure sensor output voltage) and engine speed (crankshaft sensor output pulse).
α-N Method: The ECU determines the injection quantity by calculating from the throttle opening
(subthrottle sensor output voltage) and the engine speed.

This engine is equipped with a highly efficient pressurized cooling system using a thermostat to
maintain an optimum operating temperature. Coolant bypasses the closed thermostat when cold until
operating temperature is attained, causing the engine to warm up more quickly. If the coolant temper-
ature becomes too high, the water temperature sensor on the engine activates the water temperature
warning indicator light to alert the operator or cooling problem.

Coolant Level Inspection
NOTE
○Check the level when the engine is cold (room of ambi-
ent temperature).

NOTICE
Do not check the level through the coolant filler by
removing the radiator cap. If the cap is removed,
the coolant will flow out from the reservoir tank.

• Open the front cargo hood.


• Check the coolant level in the reserve tank [A] with the
vehicle held perpendicularly.
If the coolant level is lower than the L (Low) [B] mark,
remove the reserve tank cap [C], then add coolant to the
F (Full) [D] mark.
NOTICE
For refilling, add the specified mixture of coolant
and soft water. Adding water alone dilutes the
coolant and degrades its anticorrosion properties.
The diluted coolant can attack the aluminum engine
parts. In an emergency, soft water can be added.
But the diluted coolant must be returned to the cor-
rect mixture ratio within a few days.
If coolant must be added often, or the reservoir tank
has run completely dry; there is probably leakage in
the cooling system. Check the system for leaks.

○Run the hoses according to the Cable, Wire, and Hose
Routing section in the Appendix chapter.
○Fill the coolant reserve tank with coolant (see Coolant
Change in the Periodic Maintenance chapter).

Pressure Testing
• Remove the radiator cap, and install a cooling system
pressure tester [A] and adapter [B] on the radiator filler
neck [C].
NOTE
○Wet the cap sealing surfaces with water or coolant to
prevent pressure leakage.

• Build up pressure in the system carefully until the pres-


sure reaches 123 kPa (1.25 kgf/cm², 18 psi).
NOTICE
During pressure testing, do not exceed the pres-
sure for which the system is designed. The maxi-
mum pressure is 123 kPa (1.25 kgf/cm², 18 psi).

• Watch the gauge for at least 6 seconds.


If the pressure holds steady, the system is all right.
If the pressure drops soon, check for leaks.

If any one of them shows visible damage, replace the cap.

• Install the cap [A] on a cooling system pressure tester [B].


NOTE
○Wet the cap sealing surfaces with water or coolant to
prevent pressure leakage.

• Watching the pressure gauge, slowly pump the pressure


tester to build up the pressure. The gauge pointer must
remain within the relief pressure range in the table below
at least 6 seconds. Continue to pump the tester until the
relief valve opens, indicated by the gauge pointer flicks
downward. The relief valve must open within the specified
range.

the thermostat.
Thermostat Valve Opening Temperature
Standard: 81 ∼ 84°C (178 ∼ 183°F)
○The thermostat [A] must be completely submerged and
must not touch the container sides or bottom. Suspend
an accurate thermometer [B] in the coolant so that the
sensitive portions [C] are located in almost in the same
depth. It must not touch the container, either.

Hose and Pipe Installation
• Install the hoses and pipes being careful to follow bend-
ing direction or diameter. Avoid sharp bending, kinking,
flattening, or twisting.
•Install the clamps [A] as near as possible to the hose end
to clear the raised rib or the fitting. This will prevent the
hoses from working loose.
○The clamp screws should be positioned correctly to pre-
vent the clamps from contacting anything.

Hose Inspection
• Visually inspect the hoses for signs of deterioration.
Squeeze the hoses. A hose should not be hard and
brittle, nor should it be soft or swollen.
• Replace any damaged hoses.

following procedure.
Seat Cutter Operating Cares
1. The valve seat cutter [A] is designed only for valve seat
repair. Therefore the cutter must not be used for other
purposes.
2. Do not drop or hit the valve seat cutter, or the diamond
particles may fall off.
3. Do not fail to apply engine oil to the valve seat cutter
before grinding the seat surface. Also wash off ground
particles sticking to the cutter with washing oil.

[C]

NOTE
○Do not use a wire brush to remove the metal particles
from the cutter. It will take off the diamond particles.
4. Setting the valve seat cutter holder in position, operate
the cutter with one hand. Do not apply too much force
to the diamond portion.
NOTE
○Prior to grinding, apply oil to the cutter, and during the
operation wash off any ground particles sticking to the
cutter with washing oil.
5. After use wash the cutter with washing oil and apply a
thin layer of engine oil before storing.

Operating Procedures
•Clean the seat area carefully.
•Coat the seat with machinist’s dye.
•Fit a 45° cutter to the holder and slide it into the valve
guide.
•Press down lightly on the handle and turn it right or left.
Grind the seating surface only until it is smooth.
NOTICE
Do not grind the seat too much. Overgrinding will
reduce valve clearance by sinking the valve into the
head. If the valve sinks too far into the head, it will
be impossible to adjust the clearance, and the cylin-
der head must be replaced.

• Measure the outside diameter (O.D.) of the seating sur-


face with a vernier caliper.
If the O.D. of the seating surface is too small, repeat the
45° grind until the diameter is within the specified range.
If the O.D. of the seating surface is too large, make the
32° grind described below.
•Grind the seat at a 32° angle until the seat O.D. is within
the specified range.
○To make the 32° grind, fit a 32° cutter to the holder, and
slide it into the valve guide.
○Turn the holder one turn at a time while pressing down
very lightly. Check the seat after each turn.
NOTICE
The 32° cutter removes material very quickly.
Check the seat outside diameter frequently to pre-
vent overgrinding.
○After making the 32° grind, return to the seat O.D. mea-
surement step above.

• Lap the valve to the seat, once the seat width and O.D.
are within the ranges specified above.
○Put a little coarse grinding compound on the face of the
valve in a number of places around the valve head.
○Spin the valve against the seat until the grinding com-
pound produces a smooth, matched surface on both the
seat and the valve.
○Repeat the process with a fine grinding compound.

•The seating area should be marked about in the middle
of the valve face.
If the seat area is not in the right place on the valve, check
to be sure the valve is the correct part. If it is, it may have
been refaced too much; replace it.
•Be sure to remove all grinding compound before assem-
bly.
•When the engine is assembled, be sure to adjust the valve
clearances (see Valve Clearance Adjustment in the Peri-
odic Maintenance chapter).

or contaminated engine oil will cause accelerated
wear and may result in engine seizure, accident,
and injury. Check the oil level before each use and
change the oil and filter according to the periodic
maintenance chart.

Oil Level Inspection


NOTE
○If the vehicle has just been used, wait several minutes
for all the oil to drain down.
○If the oil has just been changed, start the engine and
run it for several minutes at idle speed. This fills the oil
filter with oil. Stop the engine, then wait several minutes
until the oil settles.

NOTICE
Racing the engine before the oil reaches every part
can cause engine seizure.

• Park the vehicle on level ground.


• Pull outthe
Tilt up seat.
• the dipstick [A] out of the dipstick tube, wipe it dry.

• Apply engine oil to the rubber seal lip [A] on the dipstick.
7-8 ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM
Engine Oil and Oil Filter

• Align the groove [A] on the dipstick with the mark [B] on
the dipstick pipe.
NOTICE
Do not insert the dipstick except the specified di-
rection. This can damage the plate of the dipstick
gauge.

• Pull out the dipstick and check the oil level. The oil level
should be between the “F” (Full) and “L” (Low) range (grid
area) [A] on the dipstick.

If the oil level is too high, remove the excess oil, using
a syringe or some other suitable device, or removing the
engine oil drain plug, drain the excess oil.
If the oil level is too low, add the correct amount of oil
through the oil filler opening. Use the same type and
make of oil that is already in the engine.
[A] Oil Filler Cap
NOTE
○If the engine oil type and make are unknown, use any
brand of the specified oil to top up the level. Then at
your earliest convenience, change the oil completely.

Piston Ring, Piston Ring Groove Wear Inspection
• Check
ing.
for uneven groove wear by inspecting the ring seat-

The rings should fit perfectly parallel to the groove sur-


faces. If not, the piston must be replaced.
• With the piston rings in their grooves, make several mea-
surements with a thickness gauge [A] to determine piston
ring/groove clearance.
Piston Ring/Groove Clearance (Top, Second)
Standard:
Top 0.04 ∼ 0.08 mm (0.0016 ∼ 0.0031 in.)
Second 0.03 ∼ 0.07 mm (0.0012 ∼ 0.0028 in.)
Service Limit:
Top 0.18 mm (0.0071 in.)
Second 0.17 mm (0.0067 in.)

Piston Ring End Gap Inspection


• Place the piston ring inside the cylinder, using the piston
to locate the ring squarely in place. Set it close to the
bottom of the cylinder, where cylinder were is low.
• Measure the gap [A] between the ends of the ring with a
thickness gauge.
Piston Ring End Gap (Top, Second)
Standard: 0.20 ∼ 0.40 mm (0.0079 ∼ 0.0157 in.)
Service Limit: 0.7 mm (0.028 in.)

Cylinder Inside Diameter Inspection


• Take a side-to-side and a front-to-back measurement at
each of the 3 locations (total of 6 measurements) shown
in the figure.
If any of the measurements exceeds the service limit, the
cylinder will have to be bored to oversize and then honed.
Cylinder Inside Diameter
Standard: 75.980 ∼ 76.000 mm (2.9913 ∼ 2.9921
in.) and less than 0.01 mm (0.0004
in.) difference between any two
measurements
Service Limit: 76.10 mm (2.996 in.) or more than 0.05
mm (0.002 in.) difference between any
two measurements

Piston Diameter Inspection


• Measure the outside diameter [A] of the piston 10 mm (0.4
in.) [B] up from the bottom of the piston at right angles to
the direction of the piston pin.
If the measurement is under the service limit, replace the
piston.
Piston Diameter
Standard: 75.935 ∼ 75.950 mm (2.9896 ∼ 2.9902 in.)
Service Limit: 75.79 mm (2.984 in.)

Cylinders and Pistons
Boring, Honing
When boring and honing a cylinder, note the following.
○Oversize piston requires oversize rings.
Oversize Piston and Rings
0.50 mm (0.020 in.) Oversize
○Before boring a cylinder, first measure the exact diam-
eter of the oversize piston, and then, according to the
standard clearance in the Specifications, determine the
rebore diameter. However, if the amount of boring nec-
essary would increase the inside diameter by more than
0.50 mm (0.020 in.), the crankcase must be replaced.
○Cylinder inside diameter must not vary more than 0.01
mm (0.0004 in.) at any point.
○Be wary of measurements taken immediately after boring
since the heat affects cylinder diameter.
○In the case of rebored cylinder and oversize piston, the
service limit for the cylinder is the diameter that the cylin-
der was bored to plus 0.1 mm (0.004 in.) and the service
limit for the piston is the oversize piston original diameter
minus 0.15 mm (0.006 in.). If the exact figure for the re-
bored diameter is unknown, it can be roughly determined
by measuring the diameter at the base of the cylinder.

Connecting Rod Bend/Twist Inspection
•○Measure the connecting rod bend.
Select an arbor [A] of the same diameter as the connect-
ing rod big end, and insert the arbor through the connect-
ing rod big end.
○Select an arbor [B] of the same diameter as the piston pin
and at least 100 mm (3.937 in.) long, and insert the arbor
through the connecting rod small end.
○On a surface plate, set the big-end arbor on V blocks [C].
○With the connecting rod held vertically, use a height
gauge to measure the difference in the height of the
small end arbor above the surface plate over a 100 mm
(3.937 in.) length to determine the amount of connecting
rod bend.
If connecting rod bend exceeds the service limit, the con-
necting rod must be replaced.

•○Measure the connecting rod twist.


With the big-end arbor [A] still on the V blocks [C], hold
the connecting rod horizontally and measure the amount
that the small end arbor [B] varies from being parallel with
the surface plate over a 100 mm (3.937 in.) length of the
arbor to determine the amount of connecting rod twist.
If connecting rod twist exceeds the service limit, the con-
necting rod must be replaced.

Inspection
•○Measure connecting rod big end side clearance.
Insert a thickness gauge [A] between the connecting rod
big ends and either crank web to determine clearance.
If the clearance exceeds the service limit, replace the con-
necting rods with new ones and then check clearance
again. If the clearance is too large after connecting rod
replacement, the crankshaft must also be replaced.

Crankshaft and Connecting Rods
Connecting Rod Big End Bearing/Crankpin Wear
Inspection
Bearing/crankpin wear is measured using plastigauge
(press gauge), which is inserted into the clearance to be
measured. The plastigauge indicates the clearance by the
amount it is compressed and widened when the parts are
assembled.
• Measure the bearing/crankpin clearance.
○Remove the connecting rod big end cap and wipe the big
end bearing and crankpin surface clean of oil.
○Cut a strip of plastigauge to bearing width, and place the
strip [A] on the crankpin for the connecting rod parallel to
the crankshaft so that the plastigauge will be compressed
between the crankpin and the bearing.
○Install the connecting rod big end cap and tighten the big
end cap bolts to the specified torque.
Torque - Connecting Rod Big End Cap Bolts : 21 N·m (2.1
kgf·m, 15 ft·lb)

NOTE
○Do not turn the crankshaft during clearance measure-
ment.

○Remove the connecting rod big end cap, and measure the
plastigauge width [A] to determine the bearing/crankpin
clearance.
Connecting Rod Big End Bearing/Crankpin Clearance
Standard: 0.024 ∼ 0.048 mm (0.0009 ∼ 0.0019 in.)
Service Limit: 0.09 mm (0.0035 in.)

NOTE
○The clearance less than 0.025 mm (0.00098 in.) can
not be measured by plastigauge.
If the clearance is within the standard, no connecting rod
replacement is required.
If the clearance is between the standard (maximum) and
the service limit, replace the connecting rod and cap as a
set.

Transmission Oil Level Inspection


NOTE
○If the vehicle has just been used wait several minutes
for all the oil to settle down.

• Park the vehicle on level ground, and tilt up the cargo bed.
• insert it intothetheoil filler
Unscrew filler cap [A], wipe its dipstick [B] dry, and
opening but DO NOT SCREW IT IN.
• Pull out the dipstick and check the oil level. The oil level
should be between the upper (H) and lower (L) level lines
[C].
If the oil level is too high, remove the excess oil, using a
syringe or some other suitable device, through the oil filler
opening.
If the oil level is too low, add the necessary amount of
oil through the oil filler opening. Use the same type and
make of oil that is already in the transmission.
NOTE
○If the transmission oil type and make are unknown, use
any brand of the specified oil to top up the level in pref-
erence to running the transmission with the oil level low.
Then, at your earliest convenience, change the oil com-
pletely.

Wheel Alignment
Toe-in is the amount that the front wheels are closer to-
gether in front than at the rear at the axle height. When
there is toe-in, the distance A (rear) is greater than B (front)
as shown in the figure. The purpose of toe-in is to prevent
the front wheels from getting out of parallel at any time, and
to prevent any slipping or scuffing action between the tires
and the ground. If toe-in is incorrect, the front wheels will be
dragged along the ground, scuffing and wearing the tread
knobs.
Caster and camber are built-in and require no adjustment.
A (Rear) - B (Front) = Amount of Toe-in
(Distance A and B are measured at hub height)

Front Final Bevel Gear Adjustment


In order to prevent one gear from moving away from the
other gear under load, the tapered roller bearings must be
properly preloaded. Also the backlash (distance one gear
will move back and forth without moving the other gear) and
tooth contact pattern of the bevel gears must be correct to
prevent the gears from making noise and being damaged.
Above three adjustments are of critical importance and
must be carried out following the correct sequence and
method.
• When any one of the backlash-related parts are replaced
or the pinion gear nut is loosened; even if the purpose
is not to replace the parts, check and adjust the bearing
preload, the bevel gear backlash, and tooth contact by
replacing shims.
• The amount of backlash is influenced by the ring gear
position more than by the pinion gear position.
• Tooth contact location is influenced by pinion gear posi-
tion more than by ring gear position.

NO preload.
An over-preload on the bearings could damage the
bearings.

• Apply specified gear oil to the bearings, and turn the gears
more than 5 turns to allow the bearings to seat.
• Measure the bearing preload. Bearing preload is the force
or torque which is needed to start the gear shaft turning.
NOTE
○Preload can be measured either with a spring scale or
a beam-type torque wrench. When measured with a
spring scale, the preload is designated by force (N, kg),
and when measured with a torque wrench, it is desig-
nated by torque (N·m, kgf·m, in·lb).

Bevel Gear Adjustment
In order to prevent one gear from moving away from the
other gear under load, the backlash and tooth contact
pattern of the bevel gears must be correct to prevent the
gears from making noise and being damaged.
When replacing any one of the backlash-related parts, be
sure to check and adjust the backlash and tooth contact.
First adjust the backlash, and then tooth contact by replac-
ing shims.
These two adjustments are of critical importance and
must be carried out in the correct sequence, using the
procedures shown.

Backlash Adjustment
• Check and adjust the gear backlash when any of the
backlash-related parts are replaced with new ones.
• Install the drive gear with the primary shim and assemble
the driven gear with the primary shim. Do not install the
bevel gear case holder during adjustment.
•Clean any dirt and oil off the bevel gear teeth.
•Install the bevel gear case and tighten the case bolts.
○Check the backlash while tightening the case bolts. Stop
tightening them immediately if the backlash disappears
and change the shim to a thinner one.

•○Hold the driven gear shaft [A] with a vise.


Protect the driven gear shaft with aluminium plates [B].
• Set up a dial gauge [C] against the middle point [D] of the
gear dog side [E].
○The middle point is position at about 23.5 mm (0.925 in.)
[F] from center.
Gear Dog [G]
• To measure the backlash, turn the shaft clockwise and
counterclockwise. The distance between the highest and
lowest gauge reading is the amount of backlash.
If the backlash is not within the limit, replace the shim(s)
at the drive and/or driven gear. To increase backlash, de-
crease the thickness of the shim(s). To decrease back-
lash, increase the thickness of the shim(s).
Change the thickness a little at a time.
• Recheck the backlash, and readjust as necessary.

Brake Fluid
Brake Fluid Recommendation
Use extra heavy-duty brake fluid only from a container
marked DOT3.
Recommended Brake Fluid
Type: DOT3

WARNING
Brake fluid that is contaminated by moisture or dirt,
mixed or contains air has a lower boiling point and
can cause the brake to be ineffective or fail, and it
may cause rubber parts to deterioate, resulting in
an accident causing injury or death. Never reuse
old brake fluid. Do not use fluid from a container
that has been left unsealed or that has been open
for a long time. Do not mix two types and brands
of fluid for use in the brake. Don’t leave the reser-
voir cap off for any length of time to avoid moisture
contamination of the fluid. Don’t add or change the
fluid in the rain or when a strong wind is blowing.
If any of the brake line fittings or the bleed valve is
opened at any time, the AIR MUST BE BLED FROM
THE BRAKE LINE.

NOTICE
Brake fluid quickly ruins painted surfaces; any
spilled fluid should be completely wiped up imme-
diately.

Brake Fluid Level Inspection

Brake Fluid
Brake Line Air Bleeding
• Remove the rubber cover.
• Check that there is plenty of fluid in the reservoir.
NOTE
○The fluid level must be checked several times during the
bleeding operation and replenished as necessary. If the
fluid in the reservoir runs completely out any time dur-
ing bleeding, the bleeding operation must be done over
again from the beginning since air will have entered the
line.

• With the reservoir cap off, slowly pump the brake pedal
several times until no air bubbles can be seen rising up
through the fluid from the holes at the bottom of the reser-
voir. This bleeds the air from the master cylinder end of
the line.
• Remove the wheel for extra clearance (see Wheel Re-
moval in the Wheels/Tires chapter).
• Connect a clear plastic hose to the bleed valve at the
wheel cylinder, running the other end of the hose into a
container.
NOTE
○Start with the rear left or right wheel and finish with the
front left or right wheel.

• Pump the brake pedal [A] a few times until it becomes


hard to pump. Hold the pedal in the down position.
Quickly open (turn counterclockwise) and close the bleed
valve. Then release the pedal. Repeat this operation
until no more air can be seen coming out into the plastic
hose.
1. Hold brake pedal applied.
2. Quickly open and close bleed valve.
3. Release brake pedal.
• Tighten:

Brake Panel Assemblies
Wheel Cylinder Assembly
• Before assembly, clean all parts including the wheel cylin-
der with brake fluid or alcohol, and apply brake fluid to the
removed parts and the inner wall of the cylinder.
NOTICE
Use only brake fluid, isopropyl alcohol, or ethyl al-
cohol, for cleaning brake parts. Do not use any
other fluid for cleaning these parts. Gasoline, mo-
tor oil, or any other petroleum distillate will cause
deterioration of the rubber parts. Oil spilled on any
part will be difficult to wash off completely, and will
eventually deteriorate the rubber used in the brake.

Wheel Cylinder Inspection


• Check that there are no scratches, rust or pitting on the
inside of the cylinder and on the outside of the piston.
If the cylinder or piston shows any damage, replace the
cylinder.
• Inspect the cups.
If a cup is worn, damaged, softened (rotted), or swollen,
replace the cylinder.
If fluid leakage is noted at the dust covers, the cylinder
should be replaced to renew the cup.
• Check the dust covers for damage.
If they are damaged, replace the cylinder.
• Check the spring for any damage.
If the spring is damaged, replace the cylinder.
• Front brake only: Check the brake shoe clearance ad-
juster for damage.
If it shows any damage, replace the cylinder.

EPS (Electric Power Steering) System (KAF620M/N)
EPS System Servicing Precautions
There are number of important precautions that should be
followed servicing the EPS system.

○The EPS system operates while running the engine.


○This EPS system is designed to be used with a 12 V bat-
tery as its power source. Do not use any other battery
except for a 12 V battery as a power source.
○Do not reverse the battery cable connections. This will
damage the EPS ECU.
○To prevent damage to the EPS system parts, do not dis-
connect the battery cables or any other electrical connec-
tions when the ignition switch ON or while the engine is
running.
○Do not short the cables that are directly connected to the
battery positive (+) terminal to the chassis ground.
○Do not turn the ignition switch ON while any of the EPS
electrical connectors are disconnected. The EPS ECU
memorizes service codes.
○Do not spray water on the electrical system parts, EPS
system parts, connectors, leads and wiring.
○If a transceiver is installed on the vehicle, make sure that
operation of the EPS system is not influenced by electric
wave radiated from the antenna. Locate the antenna as
far as possible away from the EPS ECU.

○Whenever the electrical connections of the EPS system


are to be disconnected, first turn the ignition switch OFF.
Conversely, make sure that all the electrical connections
of the EPS system are firmly reconnected before turning
on the ignition switch.
○When reconnecting the connector, connect these connec-
tors securely until they click [A].

○The EPS system parts should never be struck sharply, as


with a hummer, or allowed to fall on a hard surface. Such
a shock to the parts can damage them.
○The EPS system parts can not be disassembled. Even if
a fault is found, do not try to disassemble and repair the
EPS system parts, replace it.
○With the front wheel lifted from the ground, do not move
the front wheel quickly. An abnormal voltage is generated
and the EPS ECU may be damaged.
○Using a fully charged battery. If the power supply voltage
of the EPS ECU becomes 10 V or less, EPS system does
not operate correctly.
STEERING 15-27
EPS (Electric Power Steering) System (KAF620M/N)
○There are 40 A and 7.5 A fuses for the EPS system. If
the fuse is blown, the EPS system does not operate. In
this case, the EPS warning indicator light (LED) does not
light up and even if engine is started. Replace the fuse.
WARNING
When replacing the 40 A fuse, first disconnect the
battery cables to avoid electrical shock.
○If the EPS system fuses are blown frequently, inspect the
EPS system parts.
○If the EPS ECU was replaced, be sure to register the EPS
neutral position (see EPS Neutral Position Registration).
The EPS system can not function until the neutral position
is registered in the new EPS ECU. In this case, the EPS
warning indicator light (LED) blinks immediately after en-
gine starts.
○If the following parts were removed or replaced, be sure
to register the neutral position of the EPS (see EPS Neu-
tral Position Registration). If the neutral position does not
register, EPS system does not operate correctly.
EPS Unit
Upper and Lower Universal Joints
Steering Gear Assembly
Steering Knuckles
○Do not loosen the following bolts and nuts except repair
work. If the following bolts and nuts were loosened, be
sure to register the EPS neutral position (see EPS Neu-
tral Position Registration). If the neutral position does not
register, EPS system does not operate correctly.
Steering Gear Assembly Bracket Bolts
Tie-Rod End Nuts
Universal Joint Clamp Bolts
EPS Unit Mounting Bolts
○Before delivering the vehicle to the customer, be sure to
erase any service codes which might be stored in the EPS
ECU. Using the self-diagnosis function, confirm that the
EPS warning indicator light (LED) lights up (This shows
that there is no service code in the EPS ECU.).
EPS System Troubleshooting Outline
The EPS ECU is equipped with a self-diagnosis function.
When an abnormality in the EPS system occurs, the EPS
ECU lights the EPS warning indicator light (LED) [A] to alert
the rider. In addition, the condition of the problem is stored
in the memory of the EPS ECU as service codes and in
the self-diagnosis mode, the service code is indicated by
the number of times the EPS warning indicator light (LED)
blinks.
15-28 STEERING
EPS (Electric Power Steering) System (KAF620M/N)
If due to a malfunction, the EPS warning indicator light
(LED) remains lit, try to understand the background of the
trouble before starting the repair work. First ask the rider
about the conditions [A] of the trouble, and then start to ex-
amine the cause [B] of the trouble. Do not rely solely on the
self-diagnosis function, use common sense; for example,
check the connections of the connector.

If the problem is with the following parts, the EPS ECU


can not recognize these problem. Therefore, EPS warning
indicator light (LED) does not light up, and service code is
not indicated.
EPS Warning Indicator Light (LED)
EPS ECU Power Source Wiring and Ground Wiring
Speed Sensor
When the repair has been done, the EPS warning indi-
cator light (LED) lights up immediately after engine starts,
and goes off after 1 second. This shows that EPS system is
normal. But, service codes detected once by the EPS ECU
will be memorized in the EPS ECU. Therefore, after main-
tenance work ends, be sure to erase the service codes with
service code erase mode. Do not erase the service codes
during troubleshooting. Wait until all the checks and repair
work are finished to prevent duplication of previous service
codes and unnecessary maintenance work. Before eras-
ing the service codes, record them as problem history. The
problem history can be referred when solving unstable trou-
ble.
Even when the EPS system is operating normally, the
EPS warning indicator light (LED) may light up under strong
electrical interference. If the indicator light lights up, turn the
ignition switch OFF and then erase the service code.
Much of the EPS system troubleshooting work consists of
confirming continuity of the wiring. The EPS system parts
are assembled and adjusted by the manufacturer, so there
is no need to disassemble or repair them. Replace them as
an assembly.
The basic troubleshooting procedures and precautions
are listed below.
• Using a fully charged battery. A fully charged battery is a
must for conducting reliable self-diagnosis function.
• Measure coil winding resistance when the EPS system
part is cold (at room temperature).
• Check wiring and connections from the EPS ECU con-
nector to the suspected faulty EPS system part, using a
digital meter.
STEERING 15-29
EPS (Electric Power Steering) System (KAF620M/N)

• Visually inspect the wiring for signs of burning or fraying.


If any wiring is poor, replace the damaged wiring.
• Pull each connector [A] apart and inspect it for corrosion,
dirt and damage.
If the connector is corroded or dirty, clean it carefully. If it
is damaged, replace it.
•Check the wiring for continuity.
○Use the wiring diagram to find the ends of the lead which
is suspected of being problem.
○Connect a digital meter between the ends of the leads.
○Set a digital meter to the × 1 Ω range, and read the tester.
If the tester does not read 0 Ω, the lead is defective. Re-
place the main harness [B] if necessary.

• Narrow down suspicious parts and close in on the faulty


EPS system part by repeating the continuity tests.
If no abnormality is found in the wiring or connectors, the
EPS system parts are the next likely suspects. Check
each part one by one.
If an abnormality is found, replace the affected EPS sys-
tem part.
If all the parts and wirings are good, be sure to inspect the
power supply voltage of the EPS ECU.
If the power supply voltage is good, replace the EPS ECU.

Precautions
There are a number of important precautions that are
musts when servicing electrical systems. Learn and ob-
serve all the rules below.
○Do not reverse the battery lead connections. This will
burn out the diodes in the electrical parts.
○Always check battery condition before condemning other
parts of an electrical system. A fully charged battery is a
must for conducting accurate electrical system tests.
○The electrical parts should never be struck sharply, as
with a hammer, or allowed to fall on a hard surface. Such
a shock to the parts can damage them.
○To prevent damage to electrical parts, do not disconnect
the battery cable or any other electrical connections when
the ignition switch is on, or while the engine is running.
○Because of the large amount of current, never keep the
main switch turned to the start position when the starter
motor will not turn over, or the current may burn out the
starter motor windings.
○Take care not to short the leads that are directly con-
nected to the battery positive (+) terminal to the chassis
ground.
○Troubles may involve one or in some cases all items.
Never replace a defective part without determining what
CAUSED the failure. If the failure was brought on by
some other item or items, they too must be repaired or
replaced, or the replacement part will soon fail again.
○Make sure all connectors in the circuit are clean and tight,
and examine leads for signs of burning, fraying, etc. Poor
leads and bad connections will affect electrical system
operation.
○Measure coil and winding resistance when the part is cold
(at room temperature).

Wiring Inspection
• Visually
etc.
inspect the wiring for signs of burning, fraying,

If any wiring is poor, replace the damaged wiring.


•Pull each connector [A] apart and inspect it for corrosion,
dirt, and damage.
If the connector is corroded or dirty, clean it carefully. If it
is damaged, replace it.
•Check the wiring for continuity.
○Use the wiring diagram to find the ends of the lead which
is suspected of being a problem.
○Measure the resistance between the ends of the leads.
If the resistance is not 0 Ω, the wire is defective. Replace
the lead or the wiring harness if necessary.

Battery Activation (CA Model)
Electrolyte Filling
• Make sure that the model name [A] of the electrolyte con-
tainer matches the model name [B] of the battery. These
names must be the same.
Battery Model Name
KAF620M: YTX20L-BS

NOTICE
Each battery comes with its own specific elec-
trolyte container; using the wrong container may
overfill the battery with incorrect electrolyte, which
can shorten battery life and deteriorate battery per-
formance. Be sure to use the electrolyte container
with the same model name as the battery since the
electrolyte volume and specific gravity vary with
the battery type.

NOTICE
Do not remove the aluminum sealing sheet [A] from
the filler ports [B] until just prior to use. Be sure to
use the dedicated electrolyte container for correct
electrolyte volume.

DANGER
Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte can cause severe
burns. To prevent burns, wear protective clothing
and safety glasses when handling electrolyte. If
the electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or
eyes, wash the area with liberal amounts of water
and seek medical attention for more severe burns.

• Place the battery on a level surface.


• or holestoinseeit. that the sealing sheet has no peeling, tears,
Check

• Remove the sealing sheet.


NOTE
○The battery is vacuum sealed. If the sealing sheet has
leaked air into the battery, it may require a longer initial
charge.

• Remove the electrolyte container from the vinyl bag.


• aside, thesestrip
Detach the of caps [A] from the container and set
will be used later to seal the battery.
NOTE
○Do not pierce or otherwise open the sealed cells [B] of
the electrolyte container. Do not attempt to separate
individual cells.
17-34 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Battery

• Place the electrolyte container upside down with the six


sealed cells into the filler ports of the battery. Hold the
container level, push down to break the seals of all six
cells. You will see air bubbles rising into each cell as the
ports fill.
NOTE
○Do not tilt the electrolyte container.

• Check the electrolyte flow.


If no air bubbles [A] are coming up from the filler ports, or
if the container cells have not emptied completely, tap the
container [B] a few times.
NOTE
○Be careful not to have the battery fall down.
• Keep the container in place. Don’t remove the container
from the battery, the battery requires all the electrolyte
from the container for proper operation.
NOTICE
Removal of the container before it is completely
empty can shorten the service life of the battery.
Do not remove the container until it is completely
empty.

• After filling, let the battery sit for 20 ∼ 60 minutes with the
electrolyte container kept in place, which is required for
the electrolyte to fully permeate into the plates.
• Make sure that the container cells have emptied com-
pletely, and remove the container from the battery.

• Place the strip of caps [A] loosely over the filler ports,
press down firmly with both hands to seat the strip of caps
into the battery (don’t pound or hammer). When properly
installed, the strip of caps will be level with the top of the
battery.
NOTICE
Once the strip of caps is installed onto the battery,
never remove the caps, nor add water or electrolyte
to the battery.

NOTE
○Charging the battery immediately after filling can
shorten service life.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 17-35
Battery
Initial Charge
• Newly activated sealed batteries require an initial charge.
Standard Charge: 1.8 A × 5 ∼ 10 hours
If using a recommended battery charger, follow the
charger’s instructions for newly activated sealed battery.
Kawasaki-recommended chargers:
Battery Mate 150-9
OptiMate PRO 4-S/PRO S/PRO2
Yuasa MB-2040/2060

If the above chargers are not available, use equivalent
one.
• Let battery sit 30 minutes after initial charge, then check
voltage using a voltmeter. (Voltage immediately after
charging becomes temporarily high. For accurate mea-
suring, let the battery sit for given time.)
NOTE
○Charging rates will vary depending on how long the
battery has been stored, temperature, and the type of
charger used. If voltage is not at least 12.8 V, repeat
charging cycle.
○To ensure maximum battery life and customer satisfac-
tion, it is recommended the battery be load tested at
three times its amp-hour rating for 15 seconds.
Re-check voltage and if less than 12.8 V repeat the
charging cycle and load test. If still below 12.8 V the
battery is defective.

Precautions
1) No need of topping-up
No topping-up is necessary in this battery until it ends its life under normal use. Forcibly prying
off the sealing plug to add water is very dangerous. Never do that.
2) Refreshing charge
If an engine will not start, a horn sounds weak, or lamps are dim, it indicates the battery has been
discharged. Give refresh charge for 5 to 10 hours with charge current shown in the specification
(see Refreshing Charge).
When a fast charge is inevitably required, do it following precisely the maximum charge current
and time conditions indicated on the battery.
NOTICE
This battery is designed to sustain no unusual deterioration if refresh-charged according
to the method specified above. However, the battery’s performance may be reduced no-
ticeably if charged under conditions other than given above.
Never remove the seal caps during refresh charge.
If by chance an excessive amount of gas is generated due to overcharging, the safety valve
operates to keep the battery safe.
3) When you do not use the vehicle for months
Give a refresh charge before you store the vehicle and store it with the negative lead removed.
Give a refresh charge once a month during storage.
4) Battery life
If the battery will not start the engine even after several refresh charges, the battery has ex-
ceeded its useful life. Replace it. (Provided, however, the vehicle’s starting system has no prob-
lem.)

DANGER
Batteries produce an explosive gas mixture of hydrogen and oxygen that can cause seri-
ous injury and burns if ignited. Keep the battery away from sparks and open flames during
charging. When using a battery charger, connect the battery to the charger before turning
on the charger. This procedure prevents sparks at the battery terminals which could ignite
any battery gases. The electrolyte contains sulfuric acid. Be careful not to have it touch
your skin or eyes. If touched, wash it off with liberal amount of water and seek medial at-
tention for more severe burns.
Interchange
A sealed battery can fully display its performance only when combined with a proper vehicle electri-
cal system. Therefore, replace a sealed battery only on a vehicle which was originally equipped with
a sealed battery.
Be careful, if a sealed battery is installed on a vehicle which had an ordinary battery as original
equipment, the sealed battery’s life will be shortened.

Charging Condition Inspection


Battery charging condition can be checked by measuring
battery terminal voltage.
• Remove the battery (see Battery Removal).
NOTICE
Be sure to disconnect the negative (−) lead first.

• Measure the battery terminal voltage.


NOTE
○Measure with a digital voltmeter [A] which can be read
to one decimal place voltage.
If the reading is below the specified, refreshing charge is
required.

Charging Voltage Inspection


• Check battery condition.
NOTE
○Always check battery condition before condemning
other parts of the charging system. The battery must
be fully charged in order to conduct accurate charging
system tests.

• Warm up the engine to bring the components up to their


normal operating temperatures.
• Measure regulator/rectifier output voltage at various en-
gine speeds with the headlights turned on and then turned
off.
17-42 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Charging System

• Connect a voltmeter across the battery terminals.


• the engine speed
The readings should show nearly battery voltage when
is low, and as the engine speed rises,
the readings should also rise. But they must stay within
the specified range.
If the output voltage does not rise as the engine speed
increase then the regulator/rectifier is defective or the al-
ternator output is insufficient for the loads.
If the output voltage is much higher than the specification,
the regulator/rectifier is defective, or the regulator/rectifier
wires are loose or open.
Regulator/Rectifier Output Voltage
Standard: Battery Voltage ∼ 15 V

Alternator Inspection
There are three types of alternator failures: short, open
(wire burned out), or loss in rotor magnetism. A short or
open in one of the coil wires will result in either a low output,
or no output at all. A loss in rotor magnetism, which may be
caused by dropping or hitting the alternator, by leaving it
near an electromagnetic field, or just by aging, will result in
low output.

• To check the alternator output voltage, do the following


procedures.
○Turn the ignition switch OFF.
○Tilt up the cargo bed.
○Open the connector cover.
○Disconnect the alternator lead connector [A].
○Connect a digital meter [B] as shown in the table 1.
○Note the voltage readings (total 3 measurements).

Table 1 Alternator Output Voltage


Tester Connections Reading at
Range Tester (+) to Tester (–) to 3 000 rpm
AC 250 V One Y lead Another Y lead 45 V or more
If the output voltage shows the value in the table, the al-
ternator operates properly.
If the output voltage shows a much higher than the value
in the table, the regulator/rectifier is damaged. A much
lower reading than that given in the table indicates that
the alternator is defective.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 17-43
Charging System

•○Check the stator coil resistance as follows.


Stop the engine.
○Connect a digital meter as shown in the table 2.
○Note the readings (total 3 measurement).
Table 2 Stator Coil Resistance at 20°C (68°F)
Tester Connections
Reading
Range Tester (+) to Tester (–) to
×1 Ω One Y lead Another Y lead 0.15 ∼ 0.23 Ω
If there is more resistance than shown in the table, or
no tester reading (infinity) for any two leads, the stator
has an open lead and must be replaced. Much less than
this resistance means the stator is shorted, and must be
replaced.
• Using the highest resistance range of a digital meter,
measure the resistance between each of the white leads
and chassis ground.
Any digital meter reading less than infinity (∞) indicates a
short, necessitating stator replacement.
If the stator coil has normal resistance, but the voltage
check showed the alternator to be defective; then the rotor
magnets have probably weakened, and the rotor must be
replaced.

Water Temperature Sensor Inspection
• Remove:
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 threaded portion is submerged.
• Suspend an accurate thermometer [B] with temperature
sensing portions [C] located in almost the same depth.
NOTE
○The sensor and thermometer must not touch the con-
tainer side or bottom.

• Place the container over a source of heat and gradu-


ally raise the temperature of the coolant while stirring the
coolant gently.
• Using the digital tester, measure the internal resistance
of the sensor across the terminals at the temperatures
shown in the table.
If the tester does not show the specified values, replace
the sensor.
Water Temperature Sensor Resistance
Temperature Resistance
20°C (68°F) 2.32 ∼ 2.59 kΩ
80°C (176°F) 310 ∼ 326 Ω
110°C (230°F) 139.9 ∼ 143.5 Ω

Switch Inspection
• Using a digital meter, check to see that only the con-
nections shown in the table have continuity (about zero
ohms).
If the switch has an open or short, repair it or replace it
with a new one.
