Wheels
Rims
The rims are a drop-center, tubeless tire design.
Take care not to damage the sealing surfaces of the
tire or rim when removing or installing tires. Note that
the rims, like automotive rims, are not symmetrical.
All wheels must be installed so that the valve stems
are on the outside of the vehicle.
Wheel Nuts
Check for wheel nut tightness in accordance with
the Periodic Maintenance Chart.
Tightening Torque: 137 N·m (14 kgf·m, 101 ft·lb)
Tires
The front and rear tires are knobby tubeless tires.
When replacing tires, check the valve stems and
cores for damage. Take care not to damage the tire
sealing surfaces of the rims.
Standard Tires (front and rear):

Front

NOTE
Tires are an important part of the suspension of
the vehicle. 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 on all axles, and
at the same inflation pressure, on each axle.
Installation of non-standard tires, or use of differ-
ent tires on one axle, can change or impair the
handling of the vehicle.
Installation of tubeless tires on rims requires com-
pressed air and is normally recommended as a
dealer service operation.
Nevertheless, a tube
can be inserted into the tire by the operator as an
emergency repair.
