GENERAL INFORMATION

Fuel Requirements
Your Kawasaki engine is designed
to use only unleaded gasoline with a
minimum octane rating shown below.
Never use gasoline with an octane rat-
ing lower than the minimum specified
by Kawasaki to prevent severe engine
damage.
The octane rating of a gasoline is a
measure of its resistance to detona-
tion or “knocking”. The term commonly
used to describe a gasoline’s octane
rating is the Research Octane Number
(RON).
NOTICE
Do not use leaded gasoline, as
this will destroy the catalytic
converter (For further informa-
tion, refer to the “Catalytic Con-
verter” section in the “How to
Ride the Motorcycle” chapter.).
