Emission Control Information
To protect the environment in which we all live, Kawasaki has incorporated an exhaust emission control sys-
tem in compliance with applicable regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Al-
so, depending on when your engine was produced, it may have an assigned emissions durability period.
* See below for the engine emissions durability period that may apply to your engine.
Exhaust Emission Control System
The exhaust emission control system applied to this engine consists of a fuel system and an Electronic Fuel
Injection (EFI) system having optimum ignition timing characteristics. The EFI system has been calibrated to
provide lean air/fuel mixture characteristics and optimum fuel economy with a suitable air cleaner and exhaust
system.
A sealed-type crankcase emission control system is also used to eliminate blow-by gasses. The blow-by
gasses are led to a breather chamber through the crankcase and from there to the air cleaner.
Engine Emissions Compliance Period
Engines Greater Than or Equal To 225 cc
Durability Period – 1,000 hours (Category A)
★
If your engine has an assigned emissions durability period it will be located on the certification label
attached to the engine (IMPORTANT ENGINE INFORMATION).
