A. Belt Drive Transmission (CVT)
High Altitude Use
The original belt drive transmission settings for
this vehicle are best for sea level use.
When the
vehicle is used at high altitude the engine perfor-
mance will decrease. This is why readjustment of
both weights and spring preload of transmission are
required.
Have the transmission adjusted by your
authorized Kawasaki dealer if you intend to use this
vehicle above 500 m (1,640 feet).
