Ignition Coil Inspection
•
Remove the ignition coil (see Ignition Coil Removal).
•
Measure the winding resistance as follows.
○
Set the hand tester to the R × 1 kΩ range.
Special Tool - Hand Tester: 57001-1394
○
Measure the ignition coil winding resistance as shown in
the table.

CAUTION
Use only Tester 57001-1394 with new battery at
room temperature for this test. A tester other than
the Kawasaki Hand Tester should show different
readings.
If a megger or a meter with a large capacity battery
is used, the ignition coil will be damaged.
If the tester does not read as specified, replace the coil
with a new one.
Spark Plug Removal
•
Carefully pull the plug caps from the spark plugs.
•
Remove the spark plugs using a suitable plug wrench.
Spark Plug Installation
•
Insert the spark plug vertically into the plug hole with the
plug installed in the plug wrench.
•
Tighten the plugs.
Torque - Spark Plugs: 22 N·m (2.2 kgf·m, 16 ft·lb)
•
Fit the plug caps securely.
•
Pull up the spark plug caps lightly to make sure of the
installation of the spark plug caps.
Spark Plug Cleaning and Inspection
•
Refer to the Spark Plug Cleaning and Inspection in the
Periodic Maintenance chapter.
Spark Plug Gap Inspection
•
Refer to the Spark Plug Gap Inspection in the Periodic
Maintenance chapter.
