NOTE
°
Tires are an important part of the suspension on
your ATV. Tire construction characteristics and
tire inflation pressure can greatly influence vehicle
handling. Kawasaki recommends that you always
replace tires with standard replacement tires as
shown above.
It is also very important to have
tires of the same type and size, and at the same
inflation pressure, on one axle.
°
Installation of non-standard tires, or use of differ-
ent tires on one axle, can change the handling of
the vehicle and possibly result in a loss of control.
°
Installation of tubeless tires on rims requires com-
pressed air and is normally recommended as a
dealer service operation. However, a tube can be
inserted into the tire by the operator as an emer-
gency repair.

Payload and Tire Pressure
Failure to maintain proper inflation pressures or
observe payload limits for your tires may adversely
affect handling and performance of your vehicle and
can result in loss of control. The maximum recom-
mended load carrying capacity of this vehicle is 205
