Brake Light Timing Inspection
- Refer to the Brake Light Switch Operation Inspection in the Periodic Maintenance chapter.
Brake Light Timing Adjustment
- Refer to the Brake Light Switch Operation Inspection in the Periodic Maintenance chapter.
Switch Inspection
- Using a hand tester, check to see that only the connections shown in the table have continuity (about zero ohms).
For the switch housings and the ignition switch, refer to the tables in the Wiring Diagram.
If the switch has an open or short, repair it or replace it with a new one.

Water Temperature Sensor Inspection
- Remove the water temperature sensor (see Removal/In-stallation in the Fuel System (DFI) chapter).
- Suspend the sensor [A] in a container of coolant so that the threaded portion is submerged.
- Suspend an accurate thermometer [B] with temperature sensing portions [C] located in almost the same depth.
Note: The sensor and thermometer must not touch the container side or bottom.
- Place the container over a source of heat and gradually raise the temperature of the coolant while stirring the coolant gently.
- Using the hand tester, measure the internal resistance of the sensor.
If the hand tester does not show the specified values, replace the sensor.

Speed Sensor Removal
- Disconnect the speed sensor lead connector [A].
- Remove the engine sprocket cover (See Engine Sprocket Removal in the Final Drive chapter).
![](https://motoinstruction.ru/img/kawasaki/23/129265.jpg)
Remove:
- Bolt [A]
- Speed Sensor [B]
![](https://motoinstruction.ru/img/kawasaki/23/129266.jpg)
Speed Sensor Installation
- Apply a non-permanent locking agent to the sensor bolt, and tighten it.
Torque - Speed Sensor Bolt: 7.8 Nm (0.80 kgf·m 69 in·lb)
Speed Sensor Inspection
- Remove the speed sensor (See Speed Sensor Removal).
- Connect the speed sensor connector [A] with the battery [B], 10 kQ resistor [C] and hand tester [D] as shown.
- Set the tester to the DC 25 V range.
Special Tool - Hand Tester: 57001-1394
![](https://motoinstruction.ru/img/kawasaki/23/129267.jpg)
- Trace [A] each side of the speed sensor surface with the screw driver.
Then the tester indicator should flick [B].
If the tester indicator does not flick, replace the speed sensor.

Fuel Level Sensor Inspection
- Remove the fuel tank (See Fuel Tank Removal in the Fuel System (DFI) chapter).
Remove:
- Bolts [A]
- Fuel Level Sensor [B]
![](https://motoinstruction.ru/img/kawasaki/23/129269.jpg)
- Check that the float moves up and down smoothly without binding. It should go down under its own weight.
If the float does not move smoothly, replace the sensor.
- Float in Full Position [A]
- Float in Empty Position [B]
- Float Arm Stoppers [C]
![](https://motoinstruction.ru/img/kawasaki/23/129270.jpg)
- Using the hand tester [A], measure the resistance across the terminals in the fuel level sensor lead connector [B].
Special Tools - Hand Tester: 57001-1394
If the tester readings are not as specified, or do not change smoothly according as the float moves up and down, replace the sensor.
Fuel Level Sensor Resistance
Standard: Full position [C]: 4-10 Ω
Empty position: 90-100 Ω
![](https://motoinstruction.ru/img/kawasaki/23/129271.jpg)
- Install a new gasket [A] on the fuel level sensor as shown. Hollows [B]
- Front [C]
- Apply a non-permanent locking agent to the threads of the level sensor bolts and tighten it.
Torque - Fuel Level Sensor Bolts: 6.9 Nm (0.70 kgf·m 61 in·lb)

Oxygen Sensor Removal (Europe Models)
- Remove the lower fairing (See Lower Fairing Removal in the Frame chapter).
- Open the clamps.
- Disconnect the oxygen sensor lead connector [A].
![](https://motoinstruction.ru/img/kawasaki/23/129273.jpg)
- Remove the oxygen sensor [A].

Oxygen Sensor Installation (Europe Models)
Caution: Never drop the oxygen sensor [A], especially on a hard surface. Such a shock to the unit can damage it. Do not touch the sensing part [B] and filter holes [C] of the sensor to prevent oil contact. Oil contamination from hands can reduce sensor performance.
Tighten:
Torque - Oxygen Sensor: 44.1 Nm (4.50 kgf·m, 32.5 ft·lb)
- Run the oxygen sensor lead correctly (See Cable, Wire, and Hose Routing section in the Appendix chapter).
Oxygen Sensor Inspection (Europe Models)
- Refer to the Oxygen Sensor Inspection in the Fuel System (DFI) chapter.
Oxygen Sensor Heater Inspection (Europe Models)

Fuel Reserve Switch Inspection
- Fill the fuel tank with fuel.
- Close the fuel tank cap surely.
- Remove the fuel tank (See Fuel Tank Removal in the Fuel System (DFI) chapter).
- Connect the test light [A] (12 V 3.4 W bulb a socket with leads) and the 12 V battery [B] to the fuel pump connector [C].
Connections:
Battery (+) → 12 V 3.4 W Bulb (One Side)
12 V 3.4 W Bulb (Other Side) → BL Lead Terminal
Battery (-) → BK Lead Terminal
If the test light turn on, the reserve switch is defective. Replace the fuel level sensor.

- Remove the fuel pump (See Fuel Pump Removal in the Fuel System (DFI) chapter).
- Connect the test light (12 V 3.4 W bulb in a socket with leads) and the 12 V battery to the fuel pump connector as shown.
- 12 V Battery [A]
- Test Light [B]
- Fuel Pump Connector [C]
- Fuel Reserve Switch [D]
If the test light doesn't light, replace the fuel pump.
![](https://motoinstruction.ru/img/kawasaki/23/129277.jpg)
Note: It may take a long time to turn on the test light in case that the fuel reserve switch is inspected just after the fuel pump is removed. Leave the fuel reserve switch with leads for inspection connected for few minutes.
