MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT 123 WARNING HAZARD Hot exhaust pipe. WHAT CAN HAPPEN Can burn your hands. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Check the exhaust pipe first and, if hot, wait until it gets cold. Valve Clearance Valve and valve seat wear decrease valve clearance, upsetting valve timing. NOTICE If valve clearance is left unadjusted, wear will eventually cause the valves to remain partially open, which lowers performance, burns the valves and valve seats, and may cause serious engine damage. Valve clearance for each valve should be checked and adjusted in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart. Inspection and adjustment should be done by an authorized Kawasaki dealer. Valve Clearance (Engine Cold) INTAKE 0.08 ∼ 0.12 mm (0.0032 ∼ 0.0048 in.) EXHAUST 0.08 ∼ 0.12 mm (0.0032 ∼ 0.0048 in.) j

Valve Clearance
Valve and valve seat wear decrease valve clear-
ance, upsetting valve timing.
NOTICE
If valve clearance is left unadjusted, wear will
eventually cause the valves to remain par-
tially open, which lowers performance, burns
the valves and valve seats, and may cause
serious engine damage.
Valve clearance for each valve should be checked
and adjusted in accordance with the Periodic Main-
tenance Chart.
Inspection and adjustment should be done by an
authorized Kawasaki dealer.
