WARNING
Fuel Requirements
NOTICE
Use only unleaded gasoline. Never use leaded gasoline. Leaded gasoline significantly reduces the capability of the catalytic converter in the exhaust system.
NOTICE
Use a minimum of 87 octane gasoline only to prevent severe engine damage.
NOTICE
If engine “knocking” or “pinging” occurs, a brand of gasoline of a higher octane rating. If this condition is allowed to continue it can lead use a different to severe engine damage. Gasoline quality is important. Fuels of low quality or not meeting standard industry specifications may result in unsatisfactory performance. Operating problems that result from the use of poor quality or non-recommended fuel may not be covered under your warranty.
NOTICE
NOTE
Other oxygenates approved for use in unleaded gasoline include TAME (up to 16.7%) and ETBE (up to 17.2%). Fuel containing these oxygenates can also be used in your Kawasaki.
NOTICE
Fuel Type and Octane Rating
Use clean, fresh unleaded gasoline. The Antiknock Index is posted on service station pumps. The octane rating of a gasoline is a measure of its resistance to detonation or “knocking.” The Antiknock Index is an average of the Research Octane Number (RON) and the Motor Octane Number (MON) as shown in the table.
NOTICE
Do not use any fuel that contains more ethanol or other oxygenates than specified for E10 fuel in this vehicle. Damage to the engine and fuel system, or engine starting and/or performance problems may result from the use of improper fuel.
E10 means fuel containing up to 10% ethanol.
Filling the Tank
Avoid filling the tank in the rain or where heavy dust is blowing so that the fuel does not get contaminated.
WARNING
NOTICE
California model only: Never fill the tank so the fuel level rises into the filler neck. If the tank is overfilled, heat may cause the fuel to expand and flow into the Evaporative Emission Control System resulting in hard starting, engine hesitation, and non-compliance with the emission regulation.
