lead to failure.
Recognize these symptoms of ex-
cessive belt slippage. If excessive slippage occurs,
do not continue to ride the vehicle until all damaged
components are repaired.

A. Belt Drive Transmission (CVT)
Drive Belt Failure Detection System
This vehicle is equipped with a drive belt failure
detection system which detects excessive belt wear
or belt damage.
When a switch in the “CVT” cover is activated, the
CVT indicator light blinks a warning to the rider, the
engine slows to 3 600 rpm, and the vehicle will not
shift into “4WD”.
Inspection of the belt failure detection system is re-
quired in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance
Chart by an authorized Kawasaki dealer.
If the belt failure detection system is activated,
return the vehicle immediately to an authorized
Kawasaki dealer for drive belt inspection and ad-
justment or replacement.
High Altitude Use
The original belt drive transmission settings for
this vehicle are best for sea level use.
When the
vehicle is used at high altitude the engine perfor-
mance will decrease. This is why readjustment of
both weights and spring preload of transmission are
required.
Have the transmission adjusted by your
authorized Kawasaki dealer if you intend to use this
vehicle above 2 000 m (6 500 feet).
However the belt drive transmission must be re-
turned to original settings before using at lower alti-
tudes for best sea level use.
