EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION

To protect the environment in which we all live, Kawasaki has incorporated crankcase emission (1) and exhaust emission (2) control systems in compliance with applicable regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board. Additionally, Kawasaki has incorporated an evaporative emission control system (3) in compliance with applicable regulations of the California Air Resources Board on vehicles sold in California only.

  1. Crankcase Emission Control System

This system eliminates the release of crankcase vapors into the atmosphere. Instead, the vapors are routed through an oil separator to the intake side of the engine. While the engine is operating, the vapors are drawn into combustion chamber, where they are burned along with the fuel and air supplied by the carburetion system.

  1. Exhaust Emission Control System

This system reduces the amount of pollutants discharged into the atmosphere by the exhaust of this motorcycle. The fuel and ignition systems of this motorcycle have been carefully designed and constructed to ensure an efficient engine with low exhaust pollutant levels.

  1. Evaporative Emission Control System

Vapors caused by fuel evaporation in the fuel system are not vented into the atmosphere. Instead, fuel vapors are routed into the running engine to be burned, or stored in a canister when the engine is stopped. Liquid fuel is caught by a vapor separator and returned to the fuel tank.

The Clean Air Act, which is the Federal law covering motor vehicle pollution, contains what is commonly referred to as the Act's "tampering provisions."

"Sec. 203(a) The following acts and the causing thereof are prohibited...

(3)(A) for any person to remove or render inoperative any device or element of design installed on or in a motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine in compliance with regulations under this title prior to its sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser, or for any manufacturer or dealer knowingly to remove or render inoperative any such device or element of design after such sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser.

(3)(B) for any person engaged in the business of repairing, servicing, selling, leasing, or trading motor vehicles or motor vehicle engines, or who operates a fleet of motor vehicles knowingly to remove or render inoperative any device or element of design installed on or in a motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine in compliance with regulations under this title following its sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser..."

(Continued on next page.)

NOTE

- The phrase "remove or render inoperative any device or element of design" has been generally interpreted as follows:

  1. Tampering does not include the temporary removal or rendering inoperative of devices or elements of design in order to perform maintenance.
  2. Tampering could include:

a. Maladjustment of vehicle components such that the emission standards are exceeded.
b. Use of replacement parts or accessories which adversely affect the performance or durability of the motorcycle.
c. Addition of components or accessories that result in the vehicle exceeding the standards.
d. Permanently removing, disconnecting, or rendering inoperative any component or element of design of the emission control systems.

WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL DEALERS OBSERVE THESE PROVISIONS OF FEDERAL LAW, THE VIOLATION OF WHICH IS PUNISHABLE BY CIVIL PENALTIES NOT EXCEEDING \$10,000 PER VIOLATION.

TAMPERING WITH NOISE CONTROL SYSTEM PROHIBITED

Federal law prohibits the following acts or the causing thereof: (1) The removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes of maintenance, repair, or replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or (2) the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person.

Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are the acts listed below:

● Replacement of the original exhaust system or muffler with a component not in compliance with Federal regulations.
●Removal of the muffler(s) or any internal portion of the muffler(s).
●Removal of the air box or air box cover.
- Modifications to the muffler(s) or air intake system by cutting, drilling, or other means if such modifications result in increased noise levels.

1-2 GENERAL INFORMATION

Before Servicing

Before starting to perform an inspection service or carry out a disassembly and reassembly operation on a motorcycle, read the precautions given below. To facilitate actual operations, notes, illustrations, photographs, cautions, and detailed descriptions have been included in each chapter wherever necessary. This section explains the items that require particular attention during the removal and reinstallation or disassembly and reassembly of general parts.

Especially note the following:

(1) Dirt

Before removal and disassembly, clean the motorcycle. Any dirt entering the engine will shorten the life of the motorcycle. For the same reason, before installing a new part, clean off any dust or metal filings.

(2) Battery Ground

Disconnect the ground (−) wire from the battery before performing any disassembly operations on the motorcycle. This prevents the engine from accidentally turning over while work is being carried out, sparks from being generated while disconnecting the wires from electrical parts, as well as damage to the electrical parts themselves. For reinstallation, first connect the positive wire to the positive (+) terminal of the battery

(3) Installation, Assembly

Generally, installation or assembly is the reverse of removal or disassembly. However, if installation or assembly sequence is given in this Service Manual, follow it. Note parts locations and cable, wire, and hose routing during removal or disassembly so they can be installed or assembled in the same way. It is preferable to mark and record the locations and routing whenever possible.

(4) Tightening Sequence

When installing bolts, nuts, or screws for which a tightening sequence is given in this Service Manual, make sure to follow the sequence. When installing a part with several bolts, nuts, or screws, start them all in their holes and tighten them to a snug fit, thus ensuring that the part has been installed in its proper location. Then, tighten them to the specified torque in the tightening sequence and method indicated. If tightening sequence instructions are not given, tighten them evenly in a cross pattern. Conversely, to remove a part, first loosen all the bolts, nuts, or screws that are retaining the part a 1/4-turn before removing them.

(5) Torque

When torque values are given in this Service Manual, use them. Either too little or too much torque may lead to serious damage. Use a good quality, reliable torque wrench.

(6) Force

Common sense should dictate how much force is necessary in assembly and disassembly. If a part seems especially difficult to remove or install, stop and examine what may be causing the problem. Whenever tapping is necessary, tap lightly using a wooden or plastic-faced mallet. Use an impact driver for screws (particularly for the removing screws held by non-permanent locking agent) in order to avoid damaging the screw heads.

(7) Edges

Watch for sharp edges, as they could cause injury through careless handling, especially during major engine disassembly and assembly. Use a clean piece of thick cloth when lifting the engine or turning it over.

(8) High-Flash Point Solvent

A high-flash point solvent is recommended to reduce fire danger. A commercial solvent commonly available in North America is standard solvent (generic name). Always follow manufacturer and container directions regarding the use of any solvent.

(9) Gasket, O-Ring

Replace a gasket or an O-ring with a new part when disassembling. Remove any foreign matter from the mating surface of the gasket or O-ring to ensure a perfectly smooth surface to prevent oil or compression leaks.

(10)Liquid Gasket, Locking Agent

Clean and prepare surfaces where liquid gasket or non-permanent locking agent will be used. Apply them sparingly. Excessive amount may block engine oil passages and cause serious damage.

Before Servicing

(11)Press

When using a press or driver to install a part such as a wheel bearing, apply a small amount of oil to the area where the two parts come in contact to ensure a smooth fit.

(12)Ball Bearing and Needle Bearing

Do not remove a ball bearing or a needle bearing unless it is absolutely necessary. Replace any ball or needle bearings that were removed with new ones. Install bearings with the manufacturer and size marks facing out, applying pressure evenly with a suitable driver. Apply force only to the end of the race that contacts the press fit portion, and press it evenly over the base component.

(13)Oil Seal and Grease Seal

Replace any oil or grease seals that were removed with new ones, as removal generally damages seals. Oil or grease seals should be pressed into place using a suitable driver, applying a force uniformly to the end of seal until the face of the seal is even with the end of the hole, unless instructed otherwise. When pressing in an oil or grease seal which has manufacturer's marks, press it in with the marks facing out.

(14) Circlip, Retaining Ring, and Cotter Pin

When installing circlips and retaining rings, take care to compress or expand them only enough to install them and no more. Install the circlip with its chamfered side facing load side as well.

Replace any circlips, retaining rings, and cotter pins that were removed with new ones, as removal weakens and deforms them. If old ones are reused, they could become detached while the motorcycle is driven, leading to a major problem.

(15)Lubrication

Engine wear is generally at its maximum while the engine is warming up and before all the sliding surfaces have an adequate lubricative film. During assembly, make sure to apply oil to any sliding surface or bearing that has been cleaned. Old grease or dirty oil could have lost its lubricative quality and may contain foreign particles that act as abrasives; therefore, make sure to wipe it off and apply fresh grease or oil. Some oils and greases in particular should be used only in certain applications and may be harmful if used in an application for which they are not intended.

(16)Direction of Engine Rotation

To rotate the crankshaft manually, make sure to do so in the direction of positive rotation. Positive rotation is counterclockwise as viewed from the left side of the engine. To carry out proper adjustment, it is furthermore necessary to rotate the engine in the direction of positive rotation as well.

(17) Replacement Parts

When there is a replacement instruction, replace these parts with new ones every time they are removed.

Replacement parts will be damaged or lose their original function once they are removed. Therefore, always replace these parts with new ones every time they are removed. Although the previously mentioned gasket, O-ring, ball bearing, needle bearing, grease seal, oil seal, circlip, and cotter pin have not been so designated in their respective text, they are replacement parts.

(18) Electrical Wires

All the electrical wires are either one-color or two-color. A two-color wire is identified first by the primary color and then the stripe color. For example, a yellow wire with thin red stripes is referred to as a "yellow/red" wire; it would be a "red/yellow" wire if the colors were reversed. Unless instructed otherwise, electrical wires must be connected to wires of the same color.

1-10 GENERAL INFORMATION

Technical Information - Sealed Battery

A sealed battery is installed in this model. The battery is a sealed type, and so cannot be performed the electrolyte level check and topping-up.

(1) Construction
Sealing plug Lid (P.P.) Terminal (lead-calcium alloy) Container (P.P.) Filter Safety valve Filler plug Pole (lead-calcium alloy) Negative plate (lead and lead-calcium alloy) Special separator Positive plate (lead and lead-calcium alloy)

(II) Main Features

1) Maintenance free....

It is not necessary to check the electrolyte level and top-up the electrolyte.

2) No electrolyte leakage....

As the electrolyte is retained firmly in the special separators, there is no free electrolyte in the battery.

3) Instant activation system.....

It can be used instantly after filling only the electrolyte without initial charge.

4) One-push motion electrolyte filling.....

It is possible to fill the electrolyte by easy one-push motion.

5) Safety construction

If the battery internal pressure rises abnormally high, the safety valve opens to release the gas inside the battery to restore the normal pressure and prevent the battery from rupturing. After restoring the normal pressure, the safety valve closes and the battery is sealed again. Moreover, a ceramic filter is disposed on top of the safety valve under the lid to remove risk of ignition or explosion caused by fire from outside.

6) Compact and high performance....

No presence of free electrolyte allows the battery made lower in height, thus resulting in enhanced volume efficiency. Moreover, gas being absorbed inside the battery eliminates the need for a gas exhaust tube.

7) Strong charge/discharge characteristics ....

It can amply withstand deep charge/discharge cycles.

(III) Principle of Sealing Structure

A lead-acid battery operates under the following chemical reaction:

(+) PbO2 + 2H2SO4 + (-) Discharge (+) (−) (Lead peroxide) (Sulfuric acid) (Spongy lead) (Lead sulfate) (Lead sulfate) Positive active material Electrolyte Negative active material Negative active material Charge Positive active material Electrolyte Negative active material

Normally in an ordinary lead-acid battery when it comes to an end of a charge, where the lead sulfate being a discharge product returns to lead peroxide and spongy lead, the charge current flowing thereafter is used exclusively to decompose electrolytically water from the electrolyte, thus resulting in generation of hydrogen gas from the negative plate and oxygen gas from the positive plate. The gases so generated are released out of the battery, causing the amount of electrolyte decreased to require occasional water replenishment.

A maintenance free battery, however, is so designed that, when it is overcharged, even if the positive plate is fully charged, the negative plate remains not fully turned to spongy lead. Therefore, even when the positive plate is overcharged generating oxygen gas, the negative plate is no fully charged, hence generating no hydrogen gas.

Moreover, the oxygen gas generated from the positive plate immediately reacts with the charged active material on the negative plate, and returns to water, with the ultimate result of no water loss.

Technical Information - Sealed Battery

Pb Negative active material (charged state) + 1/2 O₂ → (PbO) Oxygen generated from positive plate Negative active material (PbO) + H₂SO₄ → PbSO₄ + H₂O Electrolyte Negative active material (charged state) Water

Thus, the negative plate is made as not to get fully charged. Even if the overcharge continues, the oxygen gas generated inside the battery is absorbed by the negative plate, a process called oxygen cycle, which keeps water loss theoretically at nil, and allows the battery to be sealed.

(IV) Filling the Battery with Electrolyte

CAUTION

Do not remove the aluminum seal sheet sealing the filler ports until just before use. Be sure to use the dedicated electrolyte container for correct electrolyte volume.

  • Check to see that there is no peeling, tears or holes in the sealing sheet.
    ● Place the battery on a level surface.
  • Remove the sealing sheet [A].
    When removing, check to hear an air-sucking sound "Shoosh!" from filler ports [B].

NOTE

○A battery whose sealing sheet has any peeling, tears, holes, or from which the air-sucking sound was not heard requires a refreshing charge (initial charge).

● Take the electrolyte container out of the vinyl bag.
- Detach the strip of caps [A] from the container.

NOTE

☐ Do not discard the strip of caps because it is used as the battery plugs later.
○ Do not peel back or pierce the sealed areas [B].

● Place the electrolyte container upside down with the six sealed areas in line with the six battery filler ports.
● Push the container down strongly enough to break the seals. Now the electrolyte should start to flow into the battery.

NOTE

- Do not tilt the container as the electrolyte flow may be interrupted.

1-12 GENERAL INFORMATION

Technical Information - Sealed Battery

● Make sure air bubbles [A] are coming up from all six filler ports. ○ Leave the container this way for 5 minutes or longer.

NOTE

- If no air bubbles are coming up from a filler port, tap the bottom of the bottle two or three times. Never remove the container from the battery.

CAUTION
Fill until the container is completely emptied.

Diagram showing two test tubes with granular contents and a bird flying nearby, labeled with letter A and star symbols.

● Be certain that all the electrolyte has flowed out.
●Tap the bottom the same way as above if there is any electrolyte left in the container.
●Now pull the container gently out of the battery.
- Let the battery sit for 20 minutes. During this time, the electrolyte permeates the special separators and the gas generated by chemical reaction is released.
●Fit the strip of caps [A] tightly into the filler ports until the strip is at the same level as the top of the battery.

NOTE

- Do not hammer. Press down evenly with both hands.

CAUTION
Once you installed the strip of caps after filling the battery, never remove it, nor add any water or electrolyte.

(V) Initial Change

While a sealed battery can be used after only filling with electrolyte, a battery may not be able to sufficiently move a starter motor to start an engine in the cases shown in the table below, where an initial change is required before use. However, if a battery shows a terminal voltage of higher than 12.6 V after 10 minutes of filling (Note 1), no initial change is necessary.

Condition requiring initial chargeCharging method

Technical Information - Sealed Battery

(VI) Precautions

1) No need of topping-up

No topping-up is necessary in this battery until it ends its life under normal use. Forcibly prying off the sealing plug to add water is very dangerous. Never do that.

2) Refreshing charge

If an engine will not start, a horn sounds weak, or lamps are dim. It indicates the battery has been discharged. Give refresh charge for 5 to 10 hours with charge current shown in the specification (see the Electrical System chapter).

When a fast charge is inevitably required, do it following precisely the maximum charge current and time conditions indicated on the battery.

CAUTION

This battery is designed to sustain no unusual deterioration if refresh-charged according to the method specified above. However, the battery's performance may be reduced noticeably if charged under conditions other than given above. Never remove the sealing plug during refresh charge.

If by chance an excessive amount of gas is generated due to overcharging, the safety valve operates to keep the battery safe.

3) When you do not use the motorcycle for months

Give a refresh charge before you store the motorcycle and store it with the negative lead removed. Give a refresh charge once a month during storage.

4) Battery life

If the battery will not start the engine even after several refresh charges, the battery has exceeded its useful life. Replace it. (Provided, however, the vehicle's starting system has no problem.)

WARNING

Keep the battery away from sparks and open flames during charging, since the battery gives off an explosive gas mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. When using a battery charger, connect the battery to the charger before turning on the charger. This procedure prevents sparks at the battery terminals which could ignite any battery gases.

No fire should be drawn near the battery, or no terminals should have the tightening loosened.

The electrolyte contains sulfuric acid. Be careful not to have it touch your skin or eyes. If touched, wash it off with liberal amount of water. Get medical attention if severe.

(VII) Interchangeability with Ordinary Battery

A sealed battery can fully display its performance only when combined with a proper vehicle electric system. Therefore, replace a sealed battery only on a motorcycle which was originally equipped with a sealed battery.

Be careful, if a sealed battery is installed on a motorcycle which had an ordinary battery as original equipment, the sealed battery's life will be shortened.

Coolant

Coolant Level Inspection

NOTE

☐ Check the level when the engine is cold (room or ambient temperature).

● Situate the motorcycle so that it is perpendicular to the ground (on its side stand).
- Check the coolant level through the coolant level gauge [A] on the coolant reserve tank [B].
★If the coolant level is lower than the "L" (Low) level line [C], add coolant to the "F" (Full) level line [D].

CAUTION

For refilling, add the specified mixture of coolant and soft water. Adding water alone dilutes the coolant and degrades its anticorrosion properties. The diluted coolant can attack the aluminum engine parts. In an emergency, soft water alone can be added. But the diluted coolant must be returned to the correct mixture ratio within a few days.

If coolant must be added often, or the reservoir tank has run completely dry; there is probably leakage in the cooling system. Check the system for leaks.

Coolant Draining

▲WARNING

To avoid burns, do not remove the radiator cap or try to change the coolant when the engine is still hot. Wait until it cools down.

Coolant on tires will make them slippery and can cause an accident and injury. Immediately wipe up or wash away any coolant that spills on the frame, engine, or other painted parts.

Since coolant is harmful to the human body, do not use for drinking.

- Remove:

● Tighten the drain plug.

Torque - Drain Plug: 11 N-m (1.1 kg-m, 95 in-lb)

●Fill the radiator up to the radiator filler neck [A] with coolant, and install the radiator cap.

NOTE

- Pour in the coolant slowly so that it can expel the air from the engine and radiator.

●Fill the reserve tank up to the "F" level line with coolant, and install the cap.

MITSUBISHI Vulcan 800 (1996) - NOTE - 1

natural_image Exterior view of a dark, curved rectangular structure with a circular symbol labeled 'A' and a small protrusion on top (no readable text or symbols)

CAUTION

Soft or distilled water must be used with the antifreeze (see below for antifreeze) in the cooling system. If hard water is used in the system, it causes scales accumulation in the water passages, and considerably reduces the efficiency of the cooling system.

Water and Coolant Mixture Ratio (Recommended)

Soft Water : 50%

Coolant : 50%

Freezing Point : -35°C (-31°F)

Total Amount : 2.4 L

NOTE

○ Choose a suitable mixture ratio by referring to the coolant manufacturer's directions.

  • Start the engine, warm it up thoroughly until the radiator fan turns on and then stop the engine.
  • Check the coolant level in the reserve tank after the engine cools down.
    ★If the coolant level is lower than the "L" level line, add coolant to the "F" level line.

CAUTION

Do not add more coolant above the "F" level line.

Pressure Testing

  • Remove the meter instruments (see Electrical System chapter).
  • Remove the radiator cap, and install a cooling system pressure tester [A] on the filler neck.

NOTE

○ Wet the cap sealing surfaces with water or coolant to prevent pressure leaks.
- Build up pressure in the system carefully until the pressure reaches 123 kPa (1.25 kg/cm ^2 , 18 psi).

MITSUBISHI Vulcan 800 (1996) - NOTE - 1

natural_image Close-up of a mechanical device with labeled component A, no visible text or symbols

CAUTION

During pressure testing, do not exceed the pressure for which the system is designed. The maximum pressure is 123 kPa (1.25 kg/cm ^2 , 18 psi).

● Watch the gauge for at least 6 seconds.
★If the pressure holds steady, the system is all right.

Seat Cutter Operation Care:

  1. This valve seat cutter is developed to grind the valve for repair. Therefore the cutter must not be used for other purposes than seat repair.
  2. Do not drop or shock the valve seat cutter, or the diamond particles may fall off.
  3. Do not fail to apply engine oil to the valve seat cutter before grinding the seat surface. Also wash off ground particles sticking to the cutter with washing oil.

NOTE

- Do not use a wire brush to remove the metal particles from the cutter. It will take off the diamond particles.

  1. Setting the valve seat cutter holder in position, operate the cutter in one hand. Do not apply too much force to the diamond portion.

NOTE

- Prior to grinding, apply engine oil to the cutter and during the operation, wash off any ground particles sticking to the cutter with washing oil.

  1. After use, wash it with washing oil and apply thin layer of engine oil before storing.

Marks Stamped on the Cutter:

The marks stamped on the back of the cutter [A] represent the following.

60°...Cutter angle [B]

Operating Procedures:

● Clean the seat area carefully.
● Coat the seat with machinist's dye.
● Fit a 45" cutter into the holder and slide it into the valve guide.
- Press down lightly on the handle and turn it right or left. Grind the seating surface only until it is smooth.

CAUTION

Do not grind the seat too much. Overgrinding will reduce valve clearance by sinking the valve into the head. If the valve sinks too far into the head, it will be impossible to adjust the clearance, and the cylinder head must be replaced.

● Measure the outside diameter of the seating surface with a vernier caliper.
★If the outside diameter of the seating surface is too small, repeat the 45° grind until the diameter is within the specified range.
*If the outside diameter of the seating surface is too large, make the 32" grind described below.
★If the outside diameter of the seating surface is within the specified range, measure the seat width as described below.
●Grind the seat at a 32° angle until the seat O.D. is within the specified range.

OTo make the 32° grind, fit a 32° cutter into the holder, and slide it into the valve guide.

O Turn the holder one turn at a time while pressing down very lightly. Check the seat after each turn.

Widened width of engagement by machining with 45° cutter Ground volume by 32° cutter 32° Ground volume by 60° cutter 60°

CAUTION

The 32" cutter removes material very quickly. Check the seat outside diameter frequently to prevent overgrinding.

○ After making the 32° grind, return to the seat O.D. measurement step above.
●To measure the seat width, use a vernier caliper to measure the width of the 45° angle portion of the seat at several places around the seat.
★If the seat width is too narrow, repeat the 45° grind until the seat is slightly too wide, and then return to the seat O.D. measurement step above.
★If the seat width is too wide, make the 60° grind described below.
★If the seat width is within the specified range, lap the valve to the seat as described below.
● Grind the seat at a 60° angle until the seat width is within the specified range.
OTo make the 60° grind, fit 60° cutter into the holder, and slide it into the valve guide.

o Tum the holder, while pressing down lightly.
○ After making the 60° grind, return to the seat width measurement step above.
● Lap the valve to the seat, once the seat width and O.D. are within the ranges specified above.
- Put a little coarse grinding compound on the face of the valve in a number of places around the valve head.
○ Spin the valve against the seat until the grinding compound produces a smooth, matched surface on both the seat and the valve.
- Repeat the process with a fine grinding compound.

[B] Valve Seat
[C] Valve

● The seating area should be marked about in the middle of the valve face.
★If the seat area is not in the right place on the valve, check to be sure the valve is the correct part. If it is, it may have been refaced too much; replace it.
- Be sure to remove all grinding compound before assembly.
- When the engine is assembled, be sure to adjust the valve clearance (see Valve Clearance Adjustment).

NOTE

○ Situate the motorcycle so that it is perpendicular to the ground.
- If the motorcycle has just been used, wait several minutes for all the oil to drain down.
- If the oil has just been changed, start the engine and run it for several minutes at idle speed. This fills the oil filter with oil. Stop the engine, then wait several minutes until the oil settles.

CAUTION

Racing the engine before the oil reaches every part can cause engine seizure.

If the engine oil gets extremely low or if the oil pump or oil passages clog up or otherwise do not function properly, the oil pressure warning light will light. If this light stays on when the engine is running above the idle speed, stop the engine immediately and find the cause.

Engine Oil Change

● Support the motorcycle perpendicular to the ground after warning up the engine.
- Remove the engine drain plug [A] to drain the oil.

Wheel Inspection

  • Raise the front/rear wheel off the ground.
    Special Tool - Jack: 57001-1238
    ● Spin the wheel lightly, and check for roughness or binding.
    ★If roughness or binding is found, replace the hub bearings.
    ● Visually inspect the front and rear axles for damage.
    ★If the axle is damaged or bent, replace it.

Spoke Inspection

  • Check that all the spokes are tightened evenly.
    ★ If spoke tightness is uneven or loose, tighten the spoke nipples evenly.
    Torque - Spoke Nipples: 4.0 N m (0.41 kgf·m, 36 in lb)
  • Check the rim runout.

WARNING

If any spoke breaks, it should be replaced immediately. A missing spoke places and additional load on the other spokes, which will eventually cause other spokes to break.

Rim Inspection

- Raise the front/rear wheel off the ground.

Special Tool - Jack: 57001-1238

- Inspect the rim for small cracks, dents, bending, or warping.

★If there is any damage to the rim, it must be replaced.

- Set a dial gauge against the side of the rim, and rotate the rim to measure the axial runout [A]. The difference between the highest and lowest dial readings is the amount of runout.

- Set a dial gauge against the outer circumference of the rim, and rotate the rim to measure radial runout [B]. The difference between the highest and lowest dial readings is the amount of runout.

★If rim runout exceeds the service limit, check the hub bearings first. Replace them if they are damaged. If the problem is not due to the bearings, correct the rim warp (runout). A certain amount of rim warp can be corrected by recentering the rim. Loosen some spokes and tighten others within the standard torque to change the position of different parts of the rim. If the rim is badly bent, however, it must be replaced.

Rim Runout (with tire installed)

Standard:Radial1.0 mm
Axial0.8 mm
Service Limit:Radial2.0 mm

Balance Inspection

  • Remove the wheel.
    ●Support the wheel so that it can be spun freely.
    ● Spin the wheel lightly, and mark [A] the wheel at the top when the wheel stops.
  • Repeat this procedure several times. If the wheel stops of its own accord in various positions, it is well balanced.
    ★If the wheel always stops in one position, adjust the wheel balance.

MITSUBISHI Vulcan 800 (1996) - Balance Inspection - 1

natural_image Technical line drawing of a circular mechanical component with concentric rings and a central shaft (no text or symbols)

Balance Adjustment

  • If the wheel always stops in one position, provisionally attach a balance weight [A] on the wheel.
    ○ Attach a balance weight loosely to the spoke under the marking.
  • Rotate the wheel ¼ turn [B], and see whether or not the wheel stops in this position. If it does, the correct balance weight is being used.
    ★If the wheel rotates and the weight goes up, replace the weight with the next heavier size.
    ★If the wheel rotates and the weight goes down, replace the weight with the next lighter size.
  • Repeat these steps until the wheel remains at rest after being rotated 12 turn.
  • Rotate the wheel another 14 turn and then another 14 turn to see if the wheel is correctly balanced.
  • Repeat the entire procedure as many times as necessary to achieve correct wheel balance.
    ● Permanently install the balance weight.
    ● Install the balance weight firmly on the wheel.
    ○ Clamp on the balance weight firmly using pliers [A].

WARNING

If the drive chain wear exceeds the service limit, replace the chain or an unsafe riding condition may result. A chain that breaks or jumps off the sprockets could snag on the engine sprocket or lock the rear wheel, severely damaging the motorcycle and causing it to go out of control.

For safely, use only the standard chain. It is an endless type and should not be cut for installation.

C A B 1st 21st

Lubrication

  • If a special lubricant is not available, a heavy oil such as SAE 90 is preferred to a lighter oil because it will stay on the chain longer and provide better lubrication.
  • If the chain appears especially dirty, clean it before lubrication.

: Apply oil.

CAUTION

The O-rings between the side plates seal in the lubricant between the pin and the bushing. To avoid damaging the O-rings and resultant loss of lubricant, observe the following rules.

Use only kerosene or diesel oil for cleaning an O-ring drive chain. Any other cleaning solution such as gasoline or trichloroethylene will cause deterioration and swelling of the O-ring. Immediately blow the chain dry with compressed air after cleaning. Complete cleaning and drying the chain within 10 minutes.

  • Apply oil to the sides of the rollers so that oil will penetrate to the rollers and bushings. Apply the oil to the O-rings so that the O-rings will be coated with oil.
    ●Wipe off any excess oil.

  3. Close the bleed valve [C].
  4. Release the brake [D].

NOTE

The fluid level must be checked often during the changing operation and replenished with fresh brake fluid. If the fluid in the reservoir runs out any time during the changing operation, the brakes will need to be bled since air will have entered the brake line.

  • Remove the clear plastic hose.
    ● Install the reservoir cap.
    ● Tighten the bleed valve, and install the rubber cap.

Torque - Bleed Valve: 7.8 N-m (0.80 kg-m, 69 in-lb)

● After changing the fluid, check the brake for good braking power, no brake drag, and no fluid leakage.
★If necessary, bleed the air from the lines.

Bleeding the Brake Line

The brake fluid has a very low compression coefficient so that almost all the movement of the brake lever is transmitted directly to the caliper for braking action. Air, however, is easily compressed. When air enters the brake lines, brake lever movement will be partially used in compressing the air. This will make the lever feel spongy, and it will be a loss in braking power.

WARNING

Be sure to bleed the air from the brake line whenever brake lever action feels soft or spongy after the brake fluid is changed, or whenever a brake line fitting has been loosened for any reason.

  • Remove the reservoir cap, and fill the reservoir with fresh brake fluid to the upper level line in the reservoir.
    ● With the reservoir cap off, slowly pump the brake lever several times until no air bubbles can be seen rising up through the fluid from the holes at the bottom of the reservoir.
    ☐ Bleed the air completely from the master cylinder by this operation.
    ● Install the reservoir cap.
  • Remove the rubber cap from the blood valve on the caliper.
  • Attach a clear plastic hose to the bleed valve, and run the other end of the hose into a container.
    ● Bleed the brake line and the caliper as follows:
  • Repeat this operation until no more air can be seen coming out into the plastic hose.

  • Pump the brake lever until it becomes hard, and apply the brake and hold it [A].

  • Quickly open and close[B] the bleed valve while holding the brake applied.
  • Release the brake [C].

Technical diagram showing mechanical assembly with labeled parts A, B, and C, including directional arrows indicating motion or movement.

NOTE

The fluid level must be checked often during the bleeding operation and replenished with fresh brake fluid as necessary. If the fluid in the reservoir runs completely out any time during bleeding, the bleeding operation must be done over again from the beginning since air will have entered the line.

- Tap the brake hose lightly from the caliper to the reservoir for more complete bleeding.

  • Remove the clear plastic hose.
    ● Tighten the bleed valve, and install the rubber cap.

Torque - Bleed Valve: 7.8 N-m (0.80 kg-m, 69 in-lb)

  • Check the fluid level.
    ●After bleeding is done, check the brake for good braking power, no brake drag, and no fluid leakage.

WARNING

When working with the disc brake, observe the precautions listed below.

  1. Never reuse old brake fluid.
  2. Do not use fluid from a container that has been left unsealed or that has been open for a long time.
  3. Do not mix two types and brands of fluid for use in the brake. This lowers the brake fluid boiling point and could cause the brake to be ineffective. It may also cause the rubber brake parts to deteriorate.
  4. Don't leave the reservoir cap off for any length of time to avoid moisture contamination of the fluid.
  5. Don't change the fluid in the rain or when a strong wind is blowing.
  6. Except for the disc pads and disc, use only disc brake fluid, isopropyl alcohol, or ethyl alcohol for cleaning brake parts. Do not use any other fluid for cleaning these parts. Gasoline, engine oil, or any other petroleum distillate will cause deterioration of the rubber parts. Oil spilled on any part will be difficult to wash off completely and will eventually deteriorate the rubber used in the disc brake.
  7. When handling the disc pads or disc, be careful that no disc brake fluid or any oil gets on them. Clean off any fluid or oil that inadvertently gets on the pads or disc with a high-flesh point solvent. Do not use one which will leave an oily residue. Replace the pads with new ones if they cannot be cleaned satisfactorily.
  8. Brake fluid quickly ruins painted surfaces; any spilled fluid should be completely washed away immediately.
  9. If any of the brake line fittings or the blood valve is opened at any time, the AIR MUST BE BLED FROM THE BRAKE LINE.

Brake Hose

Brake Hose Removal/Installation

CAUTION

Brake fluid quickly ruins painted or plastic surfaces; any spilled fluid should be completely wiped up immediately with wet cloth.

  • When removing the brake hose, take care not to spill the brake fluid on the painted or plastic parts.
  • When removing the brake hose, temporarily secure the end of the brake hose to some high place to keep fluid loss to a minimum.
    ● There are washers on each side of the brake hose fitting. Replace them with new ones when installing.
  • When installing the hoses, avoid sharp bending, kinking, flattening or twisting, and route the hoses according to Hose Routing section in General Information chapter.
    ● Tighten the banjo bolts at the hose fittings.
    Torque - Brake Hose Banjo Bolts: 25 N-m (2.5 kg-m, 18.0 ft-lb)
    ● Bleed the brake line after installing the brake hose (see Bleeding the Brake Line).

Brake Hose Inspection

●The high pressure inside the brake line can cause fluid to leak or the hose to burst if the line is not properly maintained. Bend and twist the rubber hose while examining it.

★Replace it if any cracks or bulges are noticed.

Steering Inspection

  • Check the steering.
    O Lift the front wheel off the ground using the jack.

Special Tool - Jack: 57001-1238

With the front wheel pointing straight ahead, alternately tap each end of the handlebar. The front wheel should swing fully left and right from the force of gravity until the fork hits the stop.

★If the wheel binds or catches before the stop, the steering is too tight.

○ Feel for steering looseness by pushing and pulling the forks.

★If you feel looseness, the steering is too loose.

NOTE

  • The cables and wiring will have some effect on the motion of the fork which must be taken into account.
    Be sure the wires and cables are properly routed.
  • The bearings must be in good condition and properly lubricated in order for any test to be valid.

Steering Adjustment

- Remove the fuel tank (see Fuel System chapter).

● Loosen:
Lower Fork Clamp Bolts (both sides) [A]
Steering Stem Head Bolt [B]

- Adjust the steering.

Special Tool - Steering Stem Nut Wrench: 57001-1100

★If the steering is too tight, loosen the stem locknut [C] a fraction of a turn.
★If the steering is too loose, tighten the nut a fraction of a turn.

NOTE

- Turn the stem locknut 1/8 turn at a time maximum.

● Tighten the steering stem head bolt and lower fork clamp bolts.

Torque - Steering Stem Head Bolt: 44 N-m (4.5 kg-m, 33 ft-lb)

Front Fork Clamp Bolts (Lower): 34 N-m (3.5 kg-m, 25 ft-lb)

- Check the steering again.

★If the steering is still too tight or too loose, repeat the adjustment.

Precautions

There are a number of important precautions that are musts when servicing electrical systems. Learn and observe all the rules below.

Do not reverse the battery lead connections. This will burn out the diodes on the electrical parts.
○Always check battery condition before condemning other parts of an electrical system. A fully charged battery is a must for conducting accurate electrical system tests.
The electrical parts should never be struck sharply, as with a hammer, or allowed to fall on a hard surface. Such a shock to the parts can damage them.
To prevent damage to electrical parts, do not disconnect the battery leads or any other electrical connections when the ignition switch is on, or while the engine is running.
Because of the large amount of current, never keep the starter button pushed when the starter motor will not turn over, or the current may burn out the starter motor windings.
Do not use a meter illumination bulb rated for other than voltage or wattage specified in the wiring diagram, as the meter or gauge panel could be warped by excessive heat radiated from the bulb.
OTake care not to short the leads that are directly connected to the battery positive (+) terminal to the chassis ground.
O Troubles may involve one or in some cases all items.

Never replace a defective part without determining what CAUSED the failure. If the failure was caused by some other item or items, they too must be repaired or replaced, or the new replacement will soon fail again.

○ Make sure all connectors in the circuit are clean and tight, and examine wires for signs of burning, fraying, etc. Poor wires and bad connections will affect electrical system operation.
○ Measure coil and winding resistance when the part is cold (at room temperature).

Electrical Wiring

Wiring Inspection

● Visually inspect the wiring for signs of burning, fraying, etc.
★If any wiring is poor, replace the damaged wiring.
● Pull each connector [A] apart and inspect it for corrosion, dirt, and damage.
★If the connector is corroded or dirty, clean it carefully. If it is damaged, replace it.
- Check the wiring for continuity.
- Use the wiring diagram to find the ends of the lead which is suspected of being a problem.
- Connect the hand tester between the ends of the leads.

Special Tool - Hand Tester: 57001-1394

○ Set the tester to the ×1 Ω range, and read the tester.

*If the tester does not read 0 Ω, the lead is defective. Replace the lead or the wiring harness [B] if necessary.

Alternator Inspection

There are three types of alternator failures: short, open (wire burned out), or loss in rotor magnetism. A short or open in one of the coil wires will result in either a low output, or no output at all. A loss in rotor magnetism, which may be caused by dropping or hitting the alternator, by leaving it near an electromagnetic field, or just by aging, will result in low output.

● To check the alternator output voltage, do the following procedures.
OTurn off the ignition switch.
○ Remove the left side cover (see Frame chapter).
○ Disconnect the alternator lead connector [A].
○ Connect the hand tester as shown in the table 1.
○ Start the engine.
○ Run it at the rpm given in the table 1.
- Note the voltage readings (total 3 measurements).

Table 1 Alternator Output Voltage

Tester RangeConnectionsReading @ 4,000 rpm
Tester (+) toTester (-) to
250 V ACOne black leadAnother black lead50 ~ 80 V

★If the output voltage shows the value in the table, the alternator operates properly and the regulator/rectifier is damaged. A much lower reading than that given in the table indicates that the alternator is defective.
- Check the stator coil resistance as follows:
□ Stop the engine.
○ Connect the hand tester as shown in the table 2.
○ Note the readings (total 3 measurement).

Table 2 Stator Coil Resistance

Tester RangeConnectionsReading
Tester (+) toTester (−) to

★If there is more resistance than shown in the table, or no hand tester reading (infinity) for any two leads, the stator has an open lead and must be replaced. Much less than this resistance means the stator is shorted, and must be replaced.
● Using the highest resistance range of the hand tester, measure the resistance between each of the black leads and chassis ground.
★Any hand tester reading less than infinity (∞) indicates a short, necessitating stator replacement.
★If the stator coils have normal resistance, but the voltage check showed the alternator to be defective; then the rotor magnets have probably weakened, and the rotor must be replaced.

Rectifier Circuit Check:

- Check conductivity of the following pair of terminals.

Rectifier Circuit Inspection

Tester connectionW-Y1,W-Y2,W-Y3
BK/Y-Y1,BK/Y-Y2,BK/Y-Y3

★The resistance should be low in one direction and more than ten times as much in the other direction. If any two leads are low or high in both directions, the rectifier is defective and must be replaced.

W BK/Y Y₁ Y₂ Y₃

NOTE

The actual meter reading varies with the meter used and the individual rectifier, but, generally speaking the lower reading should be from zero to one half the scale.

Regulator Circuit Check:

To test the regulator out of circuit, use three 12 V batteries and a test light (12 V 3 \~ 6 W bulb in a socket with leads).

CAUTION
The test light works as an indicator and also a current limiter to protect the regulator/rectifier from excessive current. Do not use an ammeter instead of a test light.

- Check to be sure the rectifier circuit is normal before continuing.

Regulator Circuit Test-1st Step:

  • Connect the test light and the 12 V battery to the regulator/rectifier as shown.
    ● Check Y 1, Y2, and Y3 terminal respectively.
    ★If the test light turns on, the regulator/rectifier is defective. Replace it.
    ★If the test light does not turn on, continue the test.

MITSUBISHI Vulcan 800 (1996) - Regulator Circuit Check: - 1

natural_image Simple electrical circuit diagram with battery, switch, and lamp (no text or symbols)

Regulator Circuit Test-2nd Step:

  • Connect the test light and the 12 V battery in the same manner as specified in the "Regulator Circuit Test-1st Step".
    ●Apply 12 V to the BR terminal.
    ● Check Y 1, Y2, and Y3 terminal respectively.
    ★If the test light turns on, the regulator/rectifier is defective. Replace it.
  • If the test light does not turn on, continue the test.

MITSUBISHI Vulcan 800 (1996) - Regulator Circuit Check: - 2

natural_image Simple electrical circuit diagram with battery, switch, and lamp (no text or symbols)

Regulator Circuit Test-3rd Step:

  • Connect the test light and the 12 V battery in the same manner as specified in the "Regulator Circuit Test-1st Step".
    ● Momentarily apply 24 V to the BR terminal by adding a 12 V battery.
    ● Check Y 1, Y2, and Y3 terminals respectively.

CAUTION

Do not apply more than 24 V to the regulator/rectifier and do not leave the 24 V applied for more than a few seconds, or the unit will be damaged.

Electrical circuit diagram showing a battery, switch, and lamp connected to three batteries with polarity labels

★If the test light did not light when the 24 V was applied momentarily to the BR terminal, the regulator/rectifier is defective. Replace it.
★If the regulator/rectifier passes all of the tests described, it may still be defective. If the charging system still does not work properly after checking all of the components and the battery, test the regulator/rectifier by replacing it with a known good unit.

Regulator/Rectifier Output Voltage Inspection

  • Check the battery condition (see Battery section).
    ●Warm up the engine to obtain actual alternator operating conditions.
  • Remove the left side covers (see Frame chapter).
  • Check that the ignition switch is turned off, and connect the hand tester [A] as shown in the table.

- Start the engine, and note the voltage readings at various engine speeds with the headlight turned on and then turned off. (To turn off the headlight of US, Canada and Australia models, disconnect the headlight connector.) The readings should show nearly battery voltage when the engine speed is low, and, as the engine speed rises, the readings should also rise. But they must be kept under the specified voltage.

●Turn off the ignition switch to stop the engine, and disconnect the hand fester.
★If the regulator/rectifier output voltage is kept between the values given in the table, the charging system is considered to be working normally.
★If the output voltage is much higher than the values specified in the table, the regulator/rectifier is defective or the regulator/rectifier leads are loose or open.
★If the battery voltage does not rise as the engine speed increases, then the regulator/rectifier is defective or the alternator output is insufficient for the loads. Check the alternator and regulator/rectifier to determine which part is defective.

  • Connect the ignition coil (with the spark plug cap left attached at the end of the spark plug lead) to the tester in the manner prescribed by the manufacturer and measure the arcing distance.

Ignition Coil Arcing Distance:

Standard:

6 mm or more

WARNING

To avoid extremely high voltage shocks, do not touch the coil body or leads.

★If the distance reading is less than the specified value, the ignition coil or spark plug caps are defective.
●To determine which part is defective, measure the arcing distance again with the spark plug caps removed from the ignition coil. Remove the caps by turning them counterclockwise.
*If the arcing distance is subnormal as before, the trouble is with the ignition coil itself. If the arcing distance is now normal, the trouble is with the spark plug caps.
★If the coil tester is not available, the coil can be checked for a broken or badly shorted winding with the hand tester.

NOTE

- The hand tester cannot detect layer shorts and shorts resulting from insulation breakdown under high voltage.

● Measure the primary winding resistance [A] as follows.
○ Connect the hand tester between the coil terminals.
- Set the tester to the x 1 Ω range, and read the tester.

Lighting System

The US, Canada, and Australia models adopt the daylight system and have a headlight relay in the junction box. In these models, the headlight does not go on when the ignition switch and the engine stop switch are first turned on. The headlight comes on after the starter button is released and stays on until the ignition switch is turned off. The headlight will go out momentarily whenever the starter button is pressed and come back on when the button is released.

Headlight Beam Horizontal Adjustment

● Turn the horizontal adjuster [A] on the headlight in or out until the beam points straight ahead.

Headlight Beam Vertical Adjustment

● Turn the vertical adjuster [8] on the headlight in or out to adjust the headlight vertically.

NOTE

On high beam, the brightest points should be slightly below horizontal with the motorcycle on its wheels and the rider seated. Adjust the headlight(s) to the proper angle according to local regulations.

- For US model, the proper angle is 0.4 degrees below horizontal. This is 50 mm (2 in) drop at 7.6 m (25 ft) measured from the center of the headlights with the motorcycle on its wheels and the rider seated.

Additional Considerations for Racing

This motorcycle has been manufactured for use in a reasonable and prudent manner and as a vehicle only. However, some may wish to subject this motorcycle to abnormal operation, such as would be experienced under racing conditions. KAWASAKI STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT ALL RIDERS RIDE SAFELY AND OBEY ALL LAWS AND REGULATIONS CONCERNING THEIR MOTORCYCLE AND ITS OPERATION.

Racing should be done under supervised conditions, and recognized sanctioning bodies should be contacted for further details. For those who desire to participate in competitive racing or related use, the following technical information may prove useful. However, please note the following important notes:

  • You are entirely responsible for the use of your motorcycle under abnormal conditions such as racing, and Kawasaki shall not be liable for any damages which might arise from such use.
  • Kawasaki's Limited Motorcycle Warranty and Limited Emission Control Systems Warranty specifically exclude motorcycles which are used in competition or related uses. Please read the warranty carefully.
    ●Motorcycle racing is a very sophisticated sport, subject to many variables. The following information is theoretical only, and Kawasaki shall not be liable for any damages which might arise from alterations utilizing this information.
  • When the motorcycle is operated on public roads, it must be in its original state in order to ensure safety and compliance with applicable regulations.

Carburetor:

Sometimes an alteration may be desirable for improved performance under special conditions when proper mixture is not obtained after the carburetor has been properly adjusted, and all parts cleaned and found to be functioning properly.

If the engine still exhibits symptoms of overly rich or lean carburetion after all maintenance and adjustments are correctly performed, the main jet can be replaced with a smaller or larger one. A smaller numbered jet gives a leaner mixture and a larger numbered jet a richer mixture.

Spark Plug:

The spark plug ignites the fuel and air mixture in the combustion chamber. To do this effectively and at the proper time, the correct spark plug must be used, and the spark plug must be kept clean and the gap adjusted.

Tests have shown the plug listed in the "General Information" chapter to be the best plug for general use.

Since spark plug requirements change with the ignition and carburetion adjustments and with riding conditions, whether or not a spark plug of the correct heat range is used should be determined by removing and inspecting the plug.

A. Terminal
B. Insulator
C. Cement
D. Gasket
E. Center Electrode
F. Gap (0.7 \~ 0.8 mm)
G. Reach
H. Side Electrode

Technical diagram of a mechanical component with labeled parts A through H, including threaded and threaded features.

When a plug of the correct heat range is being used, the electrodes will stay hot enough to keep all the carbon burned off, but cool enough to keep from damaging the engine and the plug itself. This temperature is about 400 \~ 800°C (750 \~ 1,450°F) and can be judged by noting the condition and color of the ceramic insulator around the center electrode. If the ceramic is clean and of a light brown color, the plug is operating at the right temperature.

A spark plug for higher operating temperatures is used for racing. Such a plug is designed for better cooling efficiency so that it will not overheat and thus is often called a "colder" plug. If a spark plug with too cool a heat range is used – that is, a "cold" plug that cools itself too well – the plug will stay too cool to burn off the carbon, and the carbon will collect on the electrodes and the ceramic insulator.

The carbon on the electrodes conducts electricity, and can short the center electrode to ground by either coating the ceramic insulator or bridging across the gap. Such a short will prevent an effective spark. Carbon build-up on the plug can also cause other troubles. It can heat up red-hot and cause preignition and knocking, which may eventually burn a hole in the top of the piston.

Spark Plug Inspection

- Remove the spark plug and inspect the ceramic insulator.

★Whether or not the right temperature plug is being used can be ascertained by noting the condition of the ceramic insulator around the electrode. A light brown color indicates the correct plug is being used. If the ceramic is black, it indicates that the plug is firing at too low a temperature, so the next hotter type should be used instead. If the ceramic is white, the plug is operating at too high a temperature and it should be replaced with the next colder type.

CAUTION

If the spark plug is replaced with a type other than the standard plug, make certain the replacement plug has the same thread pitch and reach (length of threaded portion) and the same type electrode (regular type or projected type) as the standard plug.

If the plug reach is too short, carbon will build up on the plug hole threads in the cylinder head, causing overheating and making it very difficult to insert the correct spark plug later.

If the reach is too long, carbon will build up on the exposed spark plug threads causing overheating, preignition, and possibly burning a hole in the piston top. In addition, it may be impossible to remove the plug without damaging the cylinder head.

Standard Spark Plug Threads

Diameter:10 mm
Pitch:1.0 mm
Reach:19 mm

NOTE

The heat range of the spark plug functions like a thermostat for the engine. Using the wrong type of spark plug can make the engine run too hot (resulting in engine damage) or too cold (with poor performance, misliving, and stalling).

Headlight Beam Horizontal Adjustment

- Turn the horizontal adjuster [A] on the headlight in or out until the beam points straight ahead.

Headlight Beam Vertical Adjustment

- Turn the vertical adjuster [B] on the headlight in or out to adjust the headlight vertically.

NOTE

- On high beam, the brightest points should be slightly below horizontal with the motorcycle on its wheels and the rider seated. Adjust the headlight(s) to the proper angle according to local regulations. - For US model, the proper angle is 0.4 degrees below horizontal. This is 50 mm (2 in) drop at 7.6 m (25 ft) measured from the center of the headlights with the motorcycle on its wheels and the rider seated.

Fuel Tank Inspection

  • Remove the fuel tank and drain it.
  • Check to see if the breather pipe [A] (also the fuel return pipe for the California model) in the tank is not clogged. Check the tank cap breather also.
  • If the breather pipe is clogged, blow the pipe free with compressed air.
  • If the tank cap breather is clogged, replace the tank cap.

CAUTION

Do not apply compressed air to the air vent holes [B] in the tank cap. This could cause damage and clogging of the labyrinth in the cap.

EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION

To protect the environment in which we all live, Kawasaki has incorporated crankcase emission (1) and exhaust emission (2) control systems in compliance with applicable regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

  1. Crankcase Emission Control System

This system eliminates the release of crankcase vapors into the atmosphere. Instead, the vapors are routed through an oil separator to the intake side of the engine. While the engine is operating, the vapors are drawn into the combustion chamber, where they are burned along with the fuel and air supplied by the carburetion system.

  1. Exhaust Emission Control System

This system reduces the amount of pollutants discharged into the atmosphere by the exhaust of this motorcycle. The fuel and ignition systems of this motorcycle have been carefully designed and constructed to ensure an efficient engine with low exhaust pollutant levels.

The Clean Air Act, which is the Federal law covering motor vehicle pollution, contains what is commonly referred to as the Act's "tampering provisions."

"Sec. 203(a) The following acts and the causing thereof are prohibited...

(3)(A) for any person to remove or render inoperative any device or element of design installed on or in a motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine in compliance with regulations under this title prior to its sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser, or for any manufacturer or dealer knowingly to remove or render inoperative any such device or element of design after such sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser.

(3)(B) for any person engaged in the business of repairing, servicing, selling, leasing, or trading motor vehicles or motor vehicle engines, or who operates a fleet of motor vehicles knowingly to remove or render inoperative any device or element of design installed on or in a motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine in compliance with regulations under this title following its sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser...

NOTE

The phrase "remove or render inoperative any device or element of design" has been generally interpreted as follows:

  1. Tampering does not include the temporary removal or rendering inoperative of devices or elements of design in order to perform maintenance.

  2. Tampering could include:

a. Maladjustment of vehicle components such that the emission standards are exceeded.
b. Use of replacement parts or accessories which adversely affect the performance or durability of the motorcycle.
c. Addition of components or accessories that result in the vehicle exceeding the standards.
d. Permanently removing, disconnecting, or rendering inoperative any component or element of design of the emission control systems.

WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL DEALERS OBSERVE THESE PROVISIONS OF FEDERAL LAW, THE VIOLATION OF WHICH IS PUNISHABLE BY CIVIL PENALTIES NOT EXCEEDING \$10,000 PER VIOLATION.

TAMPERING WITH NOISE CONTROL SYSTEM PROHIBITED

Federal law prohibits the following acts or the causing thereof: (1) The removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes of maintenance, repair, or replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or (2) the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person.

Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are the acts listed below:

  • Replacement of the original exhaust system or muffler with a component not in compliance with Federal regulations.
  • Removal of the muffler(s) or any internal portion of the muffler(s).
  • Removal of the air box or air box cover
  • Modifications to the muffler(s) or air intake system by cutting, drilling, or other means if such modifications result in increased noise levels.

Foreword

This VN800B Service Manual Supplement is designed to be used in conjunction with the VN800 Motorcycle Service manual (P/N 99924-1183-03). The maintenance and repair procedures described in this supplement are only those that are unique to the VN800B motorcycle. Most service operations for these models remain identical to those described in the base Service Manual. Complete and proper servicing of the VN800B motorcycle therefore requires both this supplement and the base Service Manual.

The base Service Manual and this Supplement are designed primarily for use by motorcycle mechanics in a properly equipped shop. However, they contain enough detail and basic information to make them useful to the operator who desires to perform his own basic maintenance and repair work. A basic knowledge of mechanics, the proper use of tools, and work shop procedures must be understood in order to carry out maintenance and repair satisfactorily. Whenever the operator has insufficient experience or doubts his ability to do the work, the adjustments, maintenance, and repair should be carried out only by qualified mechanics.

In order to perform the work efficiently and to avoid costly mistakes, the mechanic should read the text, thoroughly familiarize yourself with the procedures before starting work, and then do the work carefully in a clean area. Whenever special tools and equipment are specified, makeshift tools or equipment should not be used. Precision measurements can only be made if the proper instruments are used, and the use of substitute tools may adversely affect safe operation of the motorcycle.

How to Use This Manual

In preparing this manual, we divided the product into its major systems. These systems became the manual's chapters. All information for a particular system from adjustment through disassembly and inspection is located in a single chapter.

The Quick Reference Guide shows you all of the product's system and assists in locating their chapters. Each chapter in turn has its own comprehensive Table of Contents.

The Periodic Maintenance Chart is located in the General Information chapter. The chart gives a time schedule for required maintenance operations.

If you want spark plug information, for example, go to the Periodic Maintenance Chart first. The chart tells you how frequently to clean and gap the plug. Next, use the Quick Reference Guide to locate the Electrical System chapter. Then, use the Table of Contents on the first page of the chapter to find the Spark Plug section. Whenever you see these WARNING and CAUTION symbols, heed their instructions!

Always follow safe operating and maintenance practices.

▲WARNING

This warning symbol identifies special instructions or procedures which, if not correctly followed, could result in personal injury, or loss of life.

CAUTION

This caution symbol identifies special instructions or procedures which, if not strictly observed, could result in damage to or destruction of equipment.

This manual contains five more symbols (in addition to WARNING and CAUTION) which will help you distinguish different types of information.

NOTE

  • This note symbol indicates points of particular interest for more efficient and convenient operation.
    ● indicates a procedural step or work to be done.
    ○ Indicates a procedural sub-step or how to do the work of the procedural step it follows. It also precedes the text of a WARNING, CAUTION or NOTE.
    ★ Indicates a conditional step or what action to take based on the results of the test or inspection in the procedural step or sub-step it follows.
    ★ Indicates a conditional sub-sep or what action to take based upon the results of the conditional step it follows.

In most chapters an exploded view illustration of the system components follows the Table of Contents. In these illustrations you will find the instructions indicating which parts require specified tightening torque, oil, grease or a locking agent during assembly.

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder and violates the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated text (underscores) where none should exist, violating the rule to ignore stylistic lines. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.

Fuel Tank

Fuel Tank Inspection

  • Remove the fuel tank and drain it.
  • Check to see if the breather pipe [A] (also the fuel return pipe for the California model) in the tank is not clogged. Check the tank cap breather also.
    ★ If the breather pipe is clogged, blow the pipe free with compressed air.
    ★ If the tank cap breather is clogged, replace the tank cap.

CAUTION

Do not apply compressed air to the air vent holes [B] in the tank cap. This could cause damage and clogging of the labyrinth in the cap.
