NOTE
Tires are an important part of the suspension on
your ATV. Tire construction characteristics and
tire inflation pressure can greatly influence vehicle
handling. Kawasaki recommends that you always
replace tires with standard replacement tires as
shown above.
It is also very important to have
tires of the same type and size, and at the same
inflation pressure, on one axle.
Installation of non-standard tires, or use of differ-
ent tires on one axle, can change the handling of
the vehicle and possibly result in a loss of control.
Payload and Tire Pressure
Failure to maintain proper inflation pressures or
observe payload limits for your tires may adversely
affect handling and performance of your vehicle and
can result in loss of control. The maximum recom-
mended load carrying capacity of this vehicle is 85
kg (187 lb).
NOTE
The low-pressure tire gauge is included as stan-
dard equipment. Make two measurements of the
tire pressure and use the second reading. Dust or
dirt in the gauge could cause the first reading to
be incorrect.
