NOTE
○
In 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 o f an-
tifreeze concentrate as soon as possible.
○
A 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).
NOTICE
If coolant must be added often, or the reserve
tank completely runs dry, there is probably
leakage in the system. Have the cooling sys-
tem inspected by your authorized Kawasaki
dealer.
Coolant Change
Have the coolant changed by an authorized
Kawasaki deal
er.
Spark Plug
The standard spark pl
ug is shown in the table. The
spark plugs should be taken out in accordance with
the Periodic Maintenance Chart for cleaning, inspec-
tion, and resetting o
f the plug gap.
Maintenance
If the plugs are oily or have carbon built up on
them, clean them. The plugs may also be cleaned
using a high flash-point solvent and a nonmetal
brush (nylon etc.). Measure the gap with a wire-type
thickness gauge, and adjust the gap if incorrect by
bending the outer electrode. If the spark plug elec-
trodes are corroded or damaged, or if the insulator
is cracked, replace the plugs. Use the standard
plug.
