132 MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT NOTE żIn an emergency you can add water alone to the coolant reserve tank, however it must be returned to the correct mixture ratio by the addition of antifreeze concentrate as soon as possible. żA permanent type of antifreeze is installed in the cooling system when shipped. It is colored green and contains ethylene glycol. It is mixed at 50% and has the freezing point of -35°C (-31°F). Spark Plug The standard spark plug is shown in the table. The spark plugs should be taken out in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart for cleaning, inspection, and resetting of the plug gap. Maintenance If the plugs are oily or have carbon build up on them, have them cleaned, preferably in a sand-blasting device, and then clean off any abrasive particles. The plugs may also be cleaned using a high flash-point solvent and a wire brush or other suitable tool. Measure the gap with a wire-type thickness gauge, and adjust the gap if incorrect by bending the outer electrode. If the spark plug electrodes are corroded or damaged, or if the insulator is cracked, replace the plugs. Use the standard plug. NOTICE If coolant must be added often, or the reserve tank completely runs dry, there is probably leakage in the system. Have the cooling system inspected by your authorized Kawasaki dealer. j Coolant Change Have the coolant changed by an authorized Kawasaki dealer.
