Stopping the Motorcycle in an
Emergency
Your Kawasaki Motorcycle has been
designed and manufactured to pro-
vide you optimum safety and conve-
nience. However, in order to fully ben-
efit from Kawasaki’s safety engineering
and craftsmanship, it is essential that
you, the owner and operator, properly
maintain your motorcycle and become
thoroughly familiar with its operation.
Improper maintenance can create a
dangerous situation known as throt-
tle failure. Two of the most common
causes of throttle failure are:
1. An improperly serviced or clogged
air cleaner may allow dirt and dust
to enter the throttle body and stick
the throttle open.
2. During removal of the air cleaner,
dirt is allowed to enter and jam the
fuel injection system.
