1-2 GENERAL INFORMATION
Before Servicing
Before starting to service watercraft, careful reading of the applicable section is recommended to eliminate unnecessary
work. Photographs, diagrams, notes, cautions, warnings, and detailed descriptions have been included wherever
necessary. Nevertheless, even a detailed account has limitations, a certain amount of basic knowledge is also required
for successful work.
Especially note the following:

(1) Diagnostic Software “KADIAG”
The “KADIAG” is a useful tool to aid a technician in solving direct fuel injection service problems. To use this
“KADIAG” you should prepare the Communication Cable, a laptop computer, and the Software Manual.
(2) Adjustments
Adjustments shall be made in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart or whenever troubleshooting or
presence of symptoms indicate that adjustments may be required. Whenever running of the engine is required during
maintenance it is best to have the watercraft in water.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine without cooling water supply for more than 15 seconds, especially in high revolutionary
speed or severe engine and exhaust system damage will occur.
(3) Auxiliary Cooling

An auxiliary cooling supply may be used if the watercraft cannot be operated in water during adjustments. If possible,
always operate the watercraft in water rather than use an auxiliary cooling supply.
• Loosen the clamp and remove the cap [A].

• Connect the garden hose [B] to the hose fitting (see above).
• Attach the garden hose to a faucet. Do not turn on the water until the engine is running and turn it off immediately when
the engine stops. The engine requires 2.4 L/min (2.5 qts/min) at 1800 rpm and 7.0 L/min (7.4 qts/min) at 6000 rpm.
CAUTION
Insufficient cooling supply will cause the engine and/or exhaust system to overheat and severe damage will
occur. Excessive cooling supply may kill the engine and flood the cylinders, causing hydraulic lock. Hydraulic
lock will cause severe damage to the engine. If the engine dies while using an auxiliary cooling supply, the
water must be shut off immediately.
Always turn the boat on its left side. Rolling to the right side can cause water in the exhaust system to run
into the engine, with possible engine damage.

Before Servicing
(4) Dirt
Before removal and disassembly, clean the "Jet Ski" watercraft. Any sand entering the engine, injector, or other
parts will work as an abrasive and shorten the life of the watercraft. For the same reason, before installing a new
part, clean off any dust or metal filings.
(5) Battery Ground
Remove the ground (–) lead from the battery before performing any disassembly operations on the watercraft. This
prevents:
(a) the possibility of accidentally turning the engine over while partially disassembled.
(b) sparks at electrical connections which will occur when they are disconnected.
(c) damage to electrical parts.
(6) Tightening Sequence
Generally, when installing a part with several bolts, nuts, or screws, they should all be started in their holes and
tightened to snug fit. Then tighten them evenly in a cross pattern. This is to avoid distortion of the part and/or causing
gas or oil leakage. Conversely when loosening the bolts, nuts, or screws, first loosen all of them by about a quarter
of turn and then remove them.
Where there is a tightening sequence indication in this Service Manual, the bolts, nuts, or screws must be tightened
in the order and method indicated.
(7) Torque
The torque values given in this Service Manual should always be adhered to. Either too little or too much torque
may lead to serious damage. Use a good quality, reliable torque wrench.
(8) 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 removal of screws
held by a locking agent) in order to avoid damaging the screw heads.
(9) Edges
Watch for sharp edges, especially during major engine disassembly and assembly. Protect your hands with gloves
or a piece of thick cloth when lifting the engine or turning it over.
(10) 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.
(11) Gasket, O-Ring
Do not reuse a gasket or O-ring once it has been in service. The mating surfaces around the gasket should be
free of foreign matter and perfectly smooth to avoid oil or compression leaks.
(12) Liquid Gasket, Non-Permanent Locking Agent
Follow manufacturer’s directions for cleaning and preparing surfaces where these compounds will be used. Apply
sparingly. Excessive amounts may block engine cooling passages and cause serious damage. An example of a
non-permanent locking agent commonly available in North America is Loctite Lock N’ Seal (Blue).
(13) Press
A part installed using a press or driver, such as a seal, should first be coated with oil on its outer or inner
circumference so that it will go into place smoothly.
(14) Ball Bearing
When installing a ball bearing, the bearing race which is affected by friction should be pushed by a suitable driver.
This prevents severe stress on the balls and races, and prevents races and balls from being dented. Press a ball
bearing until it stops at the stop in the hole or on the shaft.
(15) Oil Seal and Grease Seal
Replace any oil or grease seals that were removed with new ones, as removal generally damages seals. When
pressing in a seal which has manufacturer’s marks, press it in with the marks facing out. Seals should be pressed
into place using a suitable driver, which contacts evenly with the side of seal, until the face of the seal is even with
the end of the hole.
(16) Seal Guide
A seal guide is required for certain oil or grease seals during installation to avoid damage to the seal lips. Before a
shaft passes through a seal, apply a little lubricant, preferably high temperature grease on the lips to reduce rubber
to metal friction.
(17) Circlip, Retaining Ring
Replace any circlips and retaining rings that were removed with new ones, as removal weakens and deforms them.
When installing circlips and retaining rings, take care to compress or expand them only enough to install them and
no more.
(18) Cotter Pin
Replace any cotter pins that were removed with new ones, as removal deforms and breaks them.

Before Servicing
(19) Lubrication
Engine wear is generally at its maximum while the engine is warming up and before all the rubbing surfaces have
an adequate lubricative film. During assembly, oil or grease (whichever is more suitable) should be applied to any
rubbing surface which has lost its lubricative film. Old grease and dirty oil should be cleaned off. Deteriorated grease
has lost its lubricative quality and may contain abrasive foreign particles.
Don’t use just any oil or grease. 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.
(20) Electrical Wires
All the electrical wires are either single-color or two-color and, with only a few exceptions, must be connected to
wires of the same color. On any of the two-color wires there is a greater amount of one color and a lesser amount of
a second color, so a two-color wire is identified by first the primary color and then the secondary 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 to make red the main color.
(21) Replacement Parts

When there is a replacement instruction, replace these parts with new ones every time they are removed. These
replacement parts will be damaged or lose their original function once removed.
(22) Inspection
When parts have been disassembled, visually inspect these parts for the following conditions or other damage. If
there is any doubt as to the condition of them, replace them with new ones.
Abrasion Crack Hardening Warp
Bent Dent Scratch Wear
Color change Deterioration Seizure
(23) Service Data
Numbers of service data in this text have following meanings:
"Standards": Show dimensions or performances which brand-new parts or systems have.
"Service Limits": Indicate the usable limits. If the measurement shows excessive wear or deteriorated performance,
replace the damaged parts.

Technical Information - Theory of Direct Fuel Injection
1. DFI Overview
The function of Kawasaki Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) sequential, direct-injection fuel system is to efficiently supply fuel
under all engine load, temperature, and RPM conditions. The benefits of DFI include quick starting, improved fuel economy,
excellent throttle response, and greatly reduced exhaust emissions. DFI involves the interaction of various fuel, ignition,
and electrical components. All work together under the direction of an EMM (Engine Management Module).
Kawasaki DFI system has a number of unique features:

(1) Alternator output is dual-voltage; both 12 and 45 volts DC are produced.
(2) EMM contains ignition and charging system components (regulator/rectifier).
(3) The fuel injectors are a German concept (FICHT); fuel is injected under high pressure directly into each combustion
chamber. The fuel distribution system is regulated at approximately 196 kPa (2.0 kg/cm2, 28 psi).
(4) Technician diagnostic procedures are simple; the EMM stores service codes and delivers real-time data.
(5) Various sensors monitor engine running conditions; operator waring systems like “CHECK ENG.” light and S.L.O.W.
are standard features.
(6) The ignition system is a high-frequency, multi-strike CD system that generates a variable spark profile to exactly meet
combustion requirements.
These are only a few of Kawasaki DFI system features. The pages that follow will cover all in more detail.

2. 2 Imputs and Outputs
2. 3 Operation
(1) A low-pressure pump inside the fuel tank supplies fuel to the injectors at a regulated pressure of 196 kPa (2.0 kg/
cm2, 28 psi). The injector is fitted directly to the cylinder head (one injector per cylinder). The electromagnetic injector
operates very much like a solenoid.
(2) When the EMM operates the injector, a small stainless-steel piston (located within a gasoline-filled chamber
and surrounded by energized copper windings) travels downward and squirts fuel into the combustion chamber at
approximately 1724 kPa (17.6 kg/cm2, 250 psi). The amount of fuel injected is controlled by the EMM and is timed with
the ignition spark.
(3) The ignition system is a rapid-fire type. The high-freguency, high-energy, multi-spark DC-CD ignition is designed to fire
the spark plug about 10 times per cycle. At idle and low rpm, the DFI system produces a stratified charge, meaning that
combustion takes place as soon as the fuel reaches the spark plug. At this point the combustion chamber is extremely
lean. The spark plug fires multiple times for three reasons:
(a) the plume of fuel is rich and is hard to ignite
(b) keeps the spark plug tip clean
(c) ensures proper timing of the spark and fuel discharge
(4) At these low rpms, the plume of gasoline containing just enough energy to keep the piston moving is emitted into the
cylinder. The position of the fuel plume is maintained by a machined cavity in the piston dome.
(5) At higher rpm, the mixture changes from stratified to homogeneous, meaning that combustion doesn’t take place until
the fuel and air have mixed in the combustion chamber.
(6) Lubrication for the engine is supplied by a variable-rate oil injection system. Because the oil is not diluted with gasoline
in the crankcases with the DFI system, less oil is required for engine lubrication.
3. EMM (Engine Management Module)

3. 1 Features of Function or Operation
(1) Water cooled
Hose routing: from the stator cooling cover, to the EMM, and then exits into the exhaust chamber
(2) Sets idle rpm by controlling the fuel supply to the engine
(3) Stores service codes when a failure is detected
(4) Will not operate with less than 8 volts supplied operating voltage
(5) Contains ignition and charging system components (regulator/rectifier)

(6) Activates Speed Limiting Operational Warning - S.L.O.W.

(a) As long as S.L.O.W. is activated, the engine will run normally below 3500 rpm. Above 3500 rpm, the engine will
surge.
(b) To recover from S.L.O.W., two conditions must be satisfied; sensor or switch parameters must be back within limits,
and engine rpm must be reduced to an idle.
(c) Failures that initiate S.L.O.W.
Code 18: Alternator voltage above expected range
Code 25: EMM temperature above expected range
Code 35: Low oil level
Code 43: Water temperature sensor above expected range
Code 49: Air temperature sensor above expected range
(7) Provides the cold starting system
(8) Generates tachometer signal
(9) Controls fuel pump operation
(10) Records engine operating hours
3. 2 Internal EMM Sensors

Five sensors are located inside the EMM; barometric pressure, EMM temperature, alternator 45 volts, battery 12 volts,
and ROM verification. Since none are serviceable parts, failure correction would require replacement of the EMM.
(1) Barometric Pressure (BP) sensor - is a silicon pressure sensor having a diaphram-sealed air passage that generates
an AC voltage signal. It senses ambient air pressure through a screened port that is open to atmosphere. The BP
signal enables the EMM to compensate for changes in altitude and air density up to 14,000 ft. (4267 m) so it can adjust
fuel flow accordingly.
(2) EMM Temperature Sensor – monitors fuel injector driver circuitry temperature to prevent overheat. If an overheat
occurs, the EMM will turn on the “CHECK ENG.” light, and store a service code. The EMM will also initiate S.L.O.W..
(3) 45 - volt Circuit Sensor – monitors rectifier/regulator 45 volt output. This is the circuit that powers the fuel injectors and
the ignition. If voltage exceeds the expected range, the EMM will initiate S.L.O.W., store a service code, and turn on
the “CHECK ENG.” light. Voltage below the expected range will store a service code and turn on the “CHECK ENG.”
light, but will not put the engine into S.L.O.W.
(4) RPM Limiter – this feature of EMM programming prevents engine damage due to excessive RPM. At 7650 rpm, fuel
to cylinder #2 is shut off. Normal engine operation automatically returns as soon as engine RPM drops down to the
specified range.
(5) Idle Governor – changes fuel pulse width to maintain an idle of 1100 rpm.
(6) 12 - volt Circuit Sensor – monitors rectifier/regulator 12 - volt output. This is the circuit that supplies all 12 - volt
component/circuit requirements.
(7) ROM Verification – is a continual EMM self - test of factory programming. The EMM will turn on the “CHECK ENG.”
light and store a service code if, at any time, a program failure is detected.
3. 3 External EMM Sensors

(1) Air Temperature (AT) Sensor
The air temperature sensor is located on the flame arrestor. It mon-
itors the temperature of air entering the air silencer/throttle body. The
AT sensor is a thermister, a resistor whose resistance changes with
temperature and alters voltage values accordingly. When temperature
increases, both resistance and voltage also increase. When tempera-
ture decreases, resistance and voltage likewise decrease.

The sensor receives a voltage signal from the EMM, and another wire
provides a ground circuit back to the EMM. The EMM uses this signal
to adjust the air/fuel ratio in accordance with changes in incoming air
temperatures.
If sensor values are above expected range, the EMM will initiate
S.L.O.W., store a service code, and turn on the “CHECK ENG.” light.
AT sensor value below the expected range will store a service code
and turn on the “CHECK ENG.” light, but will not put the engine into
S.L.O.W.
(2) Water Temperature (WT) Sensor -

The water temperature sensor is located on the exhaust pipe, and it
does not actually contact the water. The WT sensor monitors engine
temperature.
The WT sensor is a thermistor, a resister whose resistance changes

with temperature . When temperature increases, both resistance and
voltage also increase. When temperature decreases, resistance and
voltage likewise decrease.
The sensor receives a voltage signal from the EMM, and another wire
provides a ground circuit back to the EMM. The EMM uses this exhaust
pipe water temperature.
If sensor values are above the limits (engine overheat), the EMM
will initiate S.L.O.W., store a service code, and turn on the “Water
Temperature” light and the “CHECK ENG.” light.
If the sensor circuit malfunctions, the EMM will store a service code,
and turn on the “CHECK ENG.” light.
If sensor values are below the limit, the EMM will store a service
code, and turn on the “CHECK ENG.” light. The engine will not go into
S.L.O.W.

(3) Throttle Position (TP) Sensor

The TP sensor is a rotary potentiometer. It is located on the end of the
throttle shaft. The sensor receives a voltage signal from the EMM. As
the throttle lever is rotated , the EMM receives a return voltage signal
through a second wire. This signal is relative to the position of the
throttle shaft. As the throttle opens, voltage increases. As the throttle
closes, voltage decreases. A third wire completes the ground circuit
back to the EMM.
If sensed value is above expected range, the EMM will store a service
code, and turn on the “CHECK ENG.” light.
If the sensor circuit malfunctions, the EMM will turn on the “CHECK
ENG.” light.
(4) Crankshaft Position (CP) Sensor –

The Crankshaft Position sensor is a magnetic device. It generates a
magnetic field that is interrupted by the flywheel encorder ribs passing
through it. This produces an AC voltage signal directly related to
flywheel RPM. Crankshaft TDC is determined by encorder rib spacing.
If the crank position sensor is mis-adjusted or damaged, the EMM
will turn on the “CHECK ENG.” light.
The sensor feeds the flywheel encorder data to the EMM, which
calculates crank position and engine speed. The EMM generates a
tachometer signal, and controls fuel injector and ignition operation. The
sensor is located on the stator cover at the 12 o’clock position, and
requires a 1.15 mm (0.045 in.) sensor-to-flywheel air gap to operate
properly.
If the crankshaft sensor of its circuit fails, the engine will not run. If
the air gap is incorrect, the engine will run erratically. A sensor that
is damaged or out of adjustment will turn on the “CHECK ENG.” light
but store a service code, only if the failure occurs while the engine is
running.
NOTE
Crankshaft sensor operation can be verified by the Engine Moni-
toring Screen of the KADIAG Program. RPM on the screen should
reflect engine RPM while cranking.

4. Fuel System Components

4. 1 Fuel Pump
(1) Roller-cell type located inside the fuel tank
(2) Operation is controlled by the EMM
4. 2 Fuel Filter
(1) Located on the fuel feed hose under the cowl
(2) Prevents debris clogging vital parts of the fuel system
4. 3 Fuel Regulator
(1) Maintains fuel pressure at approximately 196 kpa (2.0 kg/cm2, 28
psi)
(2) Located on the fuel return line
4. 4 Fuel Injector
(1) A 45 volt solenoid – type that injects fuel directly into the combustion
chamber (Direct Injection)
(2) Produced about 1724 kpa (17.6 kg/cm2, 250 psi) of discharge fuel
pressure
(3) 173 kPa (1.76 kg/cm2, 25 psi) of fuel pressure is circulated through
the injector at all times to cool the injector during operation

4. 5 Fuel Injection Operation

(1) When the electromagnet is energized by the EMM closing the
controlling side wire (not a ground wire), the armature moves towards
the nozzle at a high rate of speed. The armature is hollow which
allows the armature to move easily through the fuel until it contacts
the ball valve.
(2) As the ball seats on the armature, the armature acts like a piston
pressursing the fuel in the nozzle end of the injector. When the
fuel pressure in the nozzle area is greater than the nozzle’s spring
pressure, the poppet valve opens spraying fuel into the combustion
chamber. The amount of fuel delivered is determined by the current
and duration of the electrical pulse to the coil.
(3) The inlet check valve seals the armature cavity during operation
and allows cooling fuel to continue. The outlet check valve keeps a
reservoir of fuel in the nozzle.
If a fuel injector electrical circuit becomes open or disconnected while

the engine is running, the EMM will store a specific injector service code
in memory, and will turn on the “CHECK ENG.” light.
4. 6 Fuel Rails
(1) The DFI system has two fuel rails, one for fuel supply and one for fuel
return. They are semilar in appearance and functionally the same.
Each rail has three fittings that attach directly to either the inlet or
outlet nipples of the fuel injectors.
(2) A wire retainer spans each injector to connect the inlet and outlet
fittings. The retainer securely holds both fittings to the injector to
prevent them from accidentally disengaging.

4. 7 Cylinder Heads
Each head mounts one fuel injector and one spark plug per cylinder.
Their positioning is designed to permit complete combustion and
maximum power from each air/fuel charge. This results in greatly
reduced exhaust emissions and increased fuel economy.
4. 8 Piston
The top of each piston has a unique configuration. Each is slightly
domed, and features a small cylindrical “ splash port”. Injector fuel spray
is directed into the splash port which in turn reflects it upward through
out the combustion chamber. This provides a finely atomized fuel/air
mixture for easier ignition and cleaner burning.
5. Ignition
5. 1 High-Frequency Multi-Strike DC-CDI system
The DFI ignition system is a high frequency, multi–strike DC-CDI system that generates a variable spark profile to exactly
meet combustion requirement.
5. 2 Coils are rising field type.

(1) Primary voltage is approximately 250 volts.
(2) Secondary voltage is 35 – 40 kV.
5. 3 Variable spark count

(1) Spark timing is determined in conjunction with injector timing. The ribs on the flywheel time the injector (through the
EMM), ignition timing is on this EMM map.
(2) Stratified mode
(a) At idle and low engine rpms, combustion takes place as the fuel spray contacts the spark plug’s tip.
(b) There are about 10 sparks in this mode.
(3) Homogeneous mode
(a) The engine starts in this mode to conserve voltage for the injectors. At approximately 500 r/min (rpm) the switches
to stratified.
(b) The homogeneous mode starts at approximately 5500 r/min (rpm).
(c) There is one spark in this mode.
(d) Ignition occurs after the fuel has contacted to the piston and has atomized.

6. Electrical system component

6. 1 Flywheel
EMM uses ribs on the outer circumference of the flywheel to time
injectors. The ribs are unevenly spaced, and the EMM determines
crankshaft position and engine rpm by the rib spacing.
The flywheel houses magnets that work in conjunction with the stator
to provide battery charging (12 volts) and injector operation (45 volts).
Within approximately one crankshaft revolution, the EMM will learn
crankshaft positioning to enable it to fire the cylinders and control spark
advance.
6. 2 Stator
The stator, in conjunction with the flywheel and rectifier/regulator,
makes up the DFI system alternator.
The stator consists of 12 poles with 5 sets of windings that are all
connected to the EMM (10 wires). Switches are located in the EMM
switching circuit.
(1) The ignition system receives its operating voltage from the stator (45
V), not the battery.
(2) During engine starting, a switch closes and connect all 5 windings in
series. This maximises the available power for the EMM and injectors.
(3) The battery operates the starter, fuel pump, and instrumentation
during starting.
(4) At approximately 500 r/min (rpm), the switch opens isolating the
battery charging windings from the EMM and injector windings. This
is normal operation.
To satisfy power requirements at higher rpms, the stator switches
windings 3 – 5 from series to parallel at 2500 r/min (rpm).
6. 3 Capacitor
The capacitor is a dampening device that prevents erratic operations
of the injections.
A faulty capacitor will cause the engine to surge or sharply miss.
7. S.L.O.W. TM
Warning System
DFI engines have a protective feature that prevents cylinder-head damage due to an engine cooling system overheat,
alternator output exceeding 45 volts, excessive EMM temperature, or TP/WT/AT sensor circuit malfunction/above expected
range. This feature is called S.L.O.W. (Speed Limiting Operational Warning). A number of device monitor engine operating
conditions. All are liked directly to the EMM, which in turn is connected to the multi-function meter, “CHECK ENG.” light.
7. 1 Initiation
When the appropriate sensor or switch is activated, the EMM responds by interrupting fuel injector operation. It begins
a gradual drop in engine RPM to a threshold limit of approximately 3 500 r/min (rpm). This is accomplished by cutting out
one cylinder at a time, until a total if two are affected. The EMM simultaneously turns on the “CHECK ENG.” or “Water
Temperature” light. As long as S.L.O.W is activated, the engine will run normally below 3500 r/min (rpm). Above 3 500 r/
min (rpm), the engine will run poorly.

7. 2 Recovery
The engine will operate as described as long as the condition that activated S.L.O.W. continues to exist. To recover
from S.L.O.W., two conditions must be satisfied; sensor or switch parameters must be back within limits, and engine RPM
must be reduced to idle. The system will now immediately recover and the EMM will return engine operation to normal.
7. 3 Failures That Iniciate S.L.O.W.

Code 18 - Alternator valtage above expected range
Code 25 - EMM temperature above expected range
Code 35 - Low oil level
Code 43 - WT sensor above expected range
Code 49 - AT sensor above expected range

Technical Information – Kawasaki Smart Steering System
Outline
The Kawasaki Smart Steering system provides turning action under
certain conditions when the throttle is released. There must be thrust
at the jet nozzle to initiate and complete turns. This is supplemental
steering system which assists operators in learning to negotiate turns
and maneuver.
The Kawasaki Smart Steering system continuously detects the
operator’s steering input as well as the boat’s speed. When the
throttle is released while boat speed is high and a turn is initiated, the
smart steering system automatically increases engine speed to provide
additional thrust. The system does not work when the engine is off or
the boat speed is low.
The Kawasaki Smart Steering system functions when all of these

conditions are present:
— engine speed averages more than 3 000 r/min (rpm) for a specified
time
— the throttle is released completely
— and the handlebars are held fully to the left or right.
Construction and Operation

The main component parts for the Kawasaki Smart Steering system
are the following.
1. Steering Position Sensor and Magnet

2. EMM
3. Throttle Position Sensor
The steering position sensor [A] is installed on the reverse side of

the steering holder [B]. Left and right sensors are built into the steering
position sensor [A]. And magnet [C] is installed on the steering shaft
[D].
When the handlebar is fully turned in either direction, the magnet
[C] under the steering position sensor [A] signals the steering position
sensor [A] to switch ON.

Kawasaki Smart Steering system provides thrust (approx. 2 900 r/

min (rpm) in water) when the these three conditions exist.
condition 1:
Throttle is release - The throttle opening angle of throttle
position sensor is at idle.
condition 2:
The handlebar is fully turned in either direction - The
steering position sensor switches ON.
condition 3:
The average engine speed for a period of time before the
system operates is 3 000 r/min (rpm) or more - The EMM
calculates the average engine speed based on the data
sent from the crank position sensor.
How To Release Kawasaki Smart Steering System

Maintenance Procedure
All Hoses, Hose Clamps, Nuts, Bolts, and Fasteners Check

Hose and Hose Connect Inspection
• Check the following hoses for leakage [A] hardening, cracking [B],
checking, cuts, abrasions, breaks and bulges [C]. And make sure the
hoses are not kinked or pinched.
Fuel Hoses
Fuel Vent Hose
Oil Hoses
Cooling Hoses
Bilge Hoses
If a hose is damaged in any way, replace it immediately and check
all the others for damage.
• Make sure the above hoses are routed properly and secured with the
clamps away from any moving parts and sharp edged portions.
[A] Plastic Clamp
[B] Hose
[C] Hose Fitting
NOTE
The majority of bilge hoses have no clamps at the hose ends.
[A] Metal Clamp

[B] Hose
[C] Hose Fitting
NOTE
Check the fuel and oil filler tubes and exhaust tubes for signs of
wear, deterioration, damage or leakage. Replace if necessary.
Make sure the above tubes are secured with the metal gear clamps
away from any parts.
Rubber Strap Inspection

• Check the following rubber straps for any deterioration or damage.
Pull on squeeze the straps and look for cracks.
Battery Straps [A]
Fuel and Oil Tank Straps
Water Box Muffler Straps
If a strap is damage in any way, replace it.

Electrical System
Battery Charging Condition Inspection
Battery charging condition can be checked by measuring battery
terminal voltage.
• Disconnect the battery terminal leads (see Battery Removal in the
Electrical System chapter).
CAUTION
Be sure to disconnect the negative terminal lead first.
• Measure the battery terminal voltage.

NOTE
Measure with a digital voltmeter [A] which can be read one decimal
place voltage.
If the reading is below the specified, refreshing charge is required
(see Refreshing Charge in the Electrical System chapter).
Battery Terminal Voltage
Standard: 12.6 V or more
• Connect the battery leads, positive first.
Fuel System
Idle Speed Inspection
The normal idle speed is controlled by the EMM.
Idle Speed
1 100 ± 100 r/min (rpm): (in water)
1 100 ± 100 r/min (rpm): (out of water)
NOTE
Do not tamper the stop screw [A] because the throttle opening
angle will be out of the specified range.
Throttle Control Cable

The throttle control cable is actually an assembly of three cables:
the throttle cable, the throttle body cable, and the oil pump cable. The
throttle cable runs from the throttle lever to the cable assembly junction
where it connects to both the throttle body cable which leads to the
throttle body, and the oil pump cable which leads to the oil pump.
Since the throttle lever controls both the throttle body and the oil
pump simultaneously, it is important that each cable be adjusted to
its designed base position so that the oil and air mixture reach the
engine in the correct proportion at all throttle openings. Cable stretch
creates excess play at the throttle lever and alters the base positions of
the cables at the throttle body and the oil pump, necessitating periodic
adjustment.
NOTE
Be sure to inspect and adjust the throttle body and oil pump cables
at the same time.

Throttle Body Cable Adjustment

NOTE
Do not tamper the stop screw [A] because the throttle opening
angle will be out of the specified range.
• Check throttle body cable adjustment.

With the throttle lever released, the stop screw on the throttle pivot
arm [A] should rest against the stopper [B] on the throttle body, and
there should be slight slack in the throttle body cable.
When the throttle lever is fully applied (pulled), the upper stop on the
pivot arm [B] should be all the way up against the stopper [A] on the
throttle body.
• IfLoosen
necessary, adjust the throttle body cable [A].
and turn the locknuts [B] at the cable holder until the stop
screw on the pivot arm hits against the stopper on the throttle body
with slight cable slack.
Tighten the locknuts securely.
• Check the oil pump cable adjustment (see Oil Pump Cable Adjust-
ment).
If necessary, adjust the oil pump cable.
Oil Pump Cable Adjustment

• Check throttle body cable adjustment.
• IfCheck
necessary, adjust the throttle body cable.
• When the
oil pump cable adjustment.
throttle lever is fully applied (pulled), check to see that there
is a clearance [A] approx. 0.6 mm (0.024 in.) between stop [B] on
the oil pump pulley and the stopper pin [C] on the oil pump body.

If necessary, adjust the oil pump cable [A].

Hold the throttle lever fully applied (pulled).
Turn the oil pump pulley till the stop on the pulley contacts to the
stopper pin on the oil pump body. At this time, the oil pump pulley is
fully open. And then give the oil pump cable tension by turning the
upper adjusting nut clockwise.
Loosen the upper adjusting nut [B] by turning counterclockwise 1/2
turn and then fix the oil pump cable by tightening the lower adjusting
nut [C] securely.
Fuel Vent Check Valve Mounting

The fuel vent check valve is mounted in the fuel tank vent hose to
prevent fuel from spilling during riding. Air can flow into the tank to allow
fuel to be drawn out by the fuel pump, but fuel cannot flow out the check
valve.
• The fuel vent check valve [A] must be mounted so that the arrow [B]
on its case is pointing toward the fuel tank.
Fuel Vent Check Valve Inspection

• Remove the check valve and blow through it from each end.
If the check valve will allow air to flow as shown, it is OK.
If air will flow through the check valve in both direction or in neither
direction, the check valve must be replaced.
Fuel Pump Screen Cleaning

• Remove the fuel pump.
• solvent. Use
Wash the fuel pump screen [A] in non-flammable or high flash-point
a brush to remove any contaminants trapped in the
screens.
Clean the fuel pump screens in a well-ventilated area, and take

ample care that there are no sparks or flame anywhere near
the working area; this includes any appliance with a pilot light.
Do not use gasoline or a low flash-point solvent. A fire or
explosion could result.
Flame Arrester Cleaning

• Remove the flame arrester [A] (see Flame Arrester Removal).
• Blow the flame arrester clean with compressed air.
Eye protection should be worn when compressed air is used

to dry ports. Do not direct air toward anyone. Use 172 kPa
(1.75 kg/cm2, 25 psi) maximum nozzle pressure.
• Install the flame arrester (see Flame Arrester Installation Notes).

Throttle Shaft Spring Inspection

• Check the throttle shaft springs [A] by pulling the throttle lever.
If the springs are damaged or weak, replace the throttle assy.
Cooling and Bilge System Flushing

Cooling System Flushing
To prevent sand or salt deposits from accumulating in the cooling
system, it must be flushed occasionally. Flush the system according
to the Periodic Maintenance Chart, after each use in salt water, or
whenever there is reduced water flow from the bypass outlet on the
right side of the hull.
• Remove the fitting cap [A] on the cylinder head.
• Connect a garden hose [B] to the fitting.
• Start the engine and allow it to idle before turning on the water.
CAUTION
The engine must be running before the water is turned on or
water may flow back through the exhaust pipe into the engine,
resulting in the possibility of severe internal damage.
• Immediately turn on the water an adjust the flow so that a little trickle
of water comes out of the bypass outlet [A] on the right side of the
hull.
• Leave the engine idle for several minutes with the water running.
• Turn off the water. Leave the engine idling.
• Rev the engine a few times to clear the water out of the exhaust
system.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine without cooling water supply for more
than 15 seconds, especially in high revolutionary speed or
severe engine and exhaust system damage will occur.
• Switch off the engine, remove the garden hose, install the fitting cap.
Bilge System Flushing

To prevent clogging, the bilge system should be flushed out according
to the Periodic Maintenance Chart, or whenever you suspect it is
blocked.
• Disconnect both bilge hoses at the plastic breather fitting [A].
• Connect the bilge filter hoses (from the hull bottom) to the garden
hoses, turn the water on, and flush it out for about a minute. During
this procedure, water will flow into the engine compartment. Do
not allow a large amount of water to accumulate in the engine
compartment.
• Connect the other hoses (from the hull bulkhead) to the garden hose,
turn the water on, and flush it out for several minutes.
• Before reconnecting the hoses to the plastic breather fitting make

sure the small hole [A], on top of the breather fitting is clear.
• Reconnect the bilge hoses.
Filter Cleaning and Inspection

• Flush the filter thoroughly with fresh water and shake it dry (see filter
removal/installation in the Cooling and Bilge System chapter).
• Water must flow freely through the filter, but large debris must not.
If the filter cannot be cleaned, or if it is broken and allows debris to
pass through, replace it.
Pump and Impeller

Pump and Impeller Inspection
• Examine the impeller [A].
If there is pitting, deep scratches, nicks or other damage, replace the
impeller.
NOTE
Minor nicks and gouges in the impeller blades can be removed
with abrasive paper or careful filing. Smooth leading edges are
especially important to avoid cavitation.

Engine Bottom End

Coupling Damper Inspection
• With the engine removed, remove the coupling damper and inspect
it for wear [A] and deterioration.
If it is grooved or misshapen, replaced it with a new damper.
If there is any doubt as to coupler condition, replace it.
Steering
Steering Cable Inspection
• Examine the steering cable.
If the cable or cable housing is kinked or frayed, replace the cable.
If the seal [A] at either end of the cable is damaged in any way, replace
the cable.
• Be certain that the cable moves freely in both directions.

• Disconnect the cable joint at each end of the cable.
Take out the cable joint bolt and disconnect the cable joint.
CAUTION
Never lay the watercraft on the right side. Water in the
exhaust system may drain back into the engine causing
serious damage.
Slide the inner cable back and forth [A] in the cable housing.
If the cable does not move freely, replace it.
Handlebar Pivot Lubrication

• Check the bushings for damage and wear.
If the bushings are damaged or worn, replace them.
• Grease:
Bushings [A]

Steering Shaft [B]
Spark Plug Inspection

• Remove the spark plugs (see Spark Plug Removal).
• If the insulator
Examine the ceramic insulator [C] and electrodes [A] [B].
appears glazed or very white, or if there are gray metal-
lic deposits on the electrodes, combustion chamber temperatures are
too high. Refer to Troubleshooting.
If the insulator appears dry and sooty the fuel/air mixture is overly
rich.
• If the insulator and electrodes are wet and oily, an improper oil type
or an excess oil output may be the cause.
If the ceramic insulator is cracked, replace the plug.
If the electrodes are badly worn or burned, replace the plug.
• Examine the spark plug threads.
If the threads are damaged, replace the plug.
Spark Plug Adjustment

• Measure the spark plug gap [D].
Check the distance between the electrodes with a feeler gauge or a
wire gauge.
Spark Plug Gap
Standard: 0.7 ~ 0.8 mm (0.028 ~ 0.031 in.)
If the gap is not within specifications, adjust it.
• Adjust the gap by carefully bending the side electrode with a tool
designed for this purpose.
Spark Plug Cleaning

• Clean the electrodes and the ceramic insulator around the center
electrode with an abrasive blasting device.
Be certain that all abrasive particles are removed from the plug.
• Clean the entire plug in a high flash-point solvent.
General Lubrication
As in all marine craft, adequate lubrication and corrosion protection
is an absolute necessity to provide long, reliable service.

DFI Servicing Precautions
There are a number of important precautions that should be followed

servicing the DFI system.
This DFI system is designed to be used with a 12 V MF battery as
its power source. Do not use any other battery except for a 12 V MF
battery as a power source.
Do not reverse the battery lead connections. This will damage the
EMM.
To prevent damage to the DFI parts, do not disconnect the battery
leads or any other electrical connections when the ignition SW
(switch) is on, or while the engine is running.
Take care not to short the leads that are directly connected to the
battery positive (+) terminal to the engine ground.
When charging, remove the battery from the hull. This is to prevent
EMM damage by excessive voltage.
Whenever the DFI electrical connections are to be disconnected,
first turn off the ignition SW (switch), and disconnect the battery (–)
terminal. Conversely, make sure that all the DFI electrical connections
are firmly reconnected before starting the engine.
Do not turn the ignition SW ON while any of the DFI electrical
connectors are disconnected.
Do not spray water on the electrical parts, DFI parts, connectors,
leads, and wiring.
Do not operate the fuel pump if the pump is completely dry. This is
to prevent pump seizure.
Before removing the fuel system parts, blow the outer surfaces of
these parts clean with compressed air.
When any fuel hose is disconnected, fuel may spout out by residual
pressure in the fuel line. Cover the hose joint with a piece of clean
cloth to prevent fuel spillage.
When installing the fuel hoses, avoid sharp bending, kinking, flatten-
ing or twisting, and route the fuel hoses with a minimum of bending
so that the fuel flow will not be obstructed.
Route the hoses according to Cable, Wire, and Hose Routing section
in the General Information chapter.
Install the hose clamps in the position shown, and securely tighten
the clamp screws to the specified torque. Check the fuel system for
leaks after hose installation.
Fuel Hose [A]
Clamp [B]
Fuel Pipe [C]
Torque - Fuel Hose Clamp Screws: 0.69 ~ 0.78 N1m (0.07 ~ 0.08 kgf1m,
6.1 ~ 6.9 in1lb)
Replace the fuel hose if it has been sharply bent or kinked.

If the watercraft is not properly operated, the high pressure inside the
fuel line can cause fuel to leak [A] or the hose to burst. Bend and
twist the fuel hose while examining it.
Replace the hose if any cracks [B] or bulges [C] are noticed
When you need to remove a fuel tube from a fitting or elbow, grip
the outer edge of ear firmly and cut through it with pincers, and then
remove. When installing ear type clamps, please note that each ear
must be crimped as recommended to obtain proper seal. Position
clamp on hose and give each ear a firm squeeze with your OETIKER
Pincers [A] or a similar style of pincer (Refer to the Appendix, Cable,
Wire and Hose Routing section).
Recommended clamp installation tools [A]:
OETIKER’s Side Jaw Pincers Model 1099 (USA)
KNIPEX 1099 Hose Band Pliers (Europe)
[B]: 1.2 ~ 1.7 mm (0.05 ~ 0.07 in.)
Where access to ear type clamp is easy, use the tool [A] as shown
right.
Where access to ear type clamp is difficult, use the tool [A] as shown
right.
When checking the DFI parts, use a digital meter which can be read
two decimal place voltage or resistance.
The DFI part connectors have seals, including the EMM. When
measuring the input or output voltage with the connector joined, use
the needle adapter set. Insert the needle adapter inside the seal
until the needle adapter reaches the terminal (for example, Water
Temperature Sensor is shown.).
Digital Meter [A]
Connector [B]
Needle Adapter Set [C]
Special Tool - Needle Adapter Set: 57001–1457

CAUTION
Tape the wires to prevent short circuit of the wires.
After measurement, remove the needle adapters and apply silicone
sealant to the seals [A] of the connector [B] for waterproofing.
Sealant - Silicone Sealant (Kawasaki Bond: 56019–120) - Seals of
Connector

The throttle control cable is actually an assembly of three cables:

the throttle cable, the throttle body cable, and the oil pump cable. The
throttle cable runs from the throttle lever to the cable assembly junction
where it connects to both the throttle body cable which leads to the
throttle body, and the oil pump cable which leads to the oil pump.
Since the throttle lever controls both the throttle body and the oil
pump simultaneously, it is important that each cable be adjusted to
its designed base position so that the oil and air mixture reach the
engine in the correct proportion at all throttle openings. Cable stretch
creates excess play at the throttle lever and alters the base positions of
the cables at the throttle body and the oil pump, necessitating periodic
adjustment.
NOTE
Be sure to inspect and adjust the throttle body and oil pump cables
at the same time.
Throttle Body Cable Adjustment
• Refer to the Fuel System in the Periodic Maintenance chapter.

water may flow back through the exhaust pipe into the engine,
resulting in the possibility of severe internal damage.
Injector replacement
CAUTION
If you need to replace an injector, you must order a Replace-
ment Injector. DO NOT take an injector from another engine
or cylinder. Moving an injector to another engine or cylinder
will affect air/fuel mixture on that cylinder. This could affect
exhaust emissions, cause the engine to run poorly, and cause
engine damage.

• Start the engine to check for fuel and oil leaks, exhaust leaks, and
excessive vibration.
Do not run the engine in a closed area. Exhaust gases contain

carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas which
can be lethal.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine for more than 15 seconds without
cooling water.
Maintenance and Inspection:

Compression Measurement
• Thoroughly warm up the engine, while checking that there is no
compression leakage from around the spark plugs or the cylinder
head gasket.
CAUTION
severe engine and exhaust system damaged will occur.
• Stop the engine.

• Remove the spark plugs and screw a compression gauge firmly into
the spark plug hole.
Special Tools - Compression Gauge: 57001-221 [A]
Compression Gauge Adapter, M14 2 1.25: 57001-1159
[B]
• Using the starter motor, turn the engine over with the throttle fully
open until the compression gauge stops rising; the compression is
the highest reading obtainable.
• Repeat the measurement for the other two cylinders.
Cylinder Compression (Usable Range)
755 1079 kPa (7.7 12.0 kg/cm2, 109 156 psi) (open throttle)
If the cylinder compression is higher than the usable range, check the
following.
Carbon buildup on the piston head and cylinder head - clean off any
carbon on the piston head and cylinder head.
Cylinder head gasket, cylinder base gaskets - use only the proper
gaskets. The use of a gasket of incorrect thickness will change the
compression.
If cylinder compression is lower than the usable range, check the
following:
Gas leakage around the cylinder head - replace the damaged gasket
and check the cylinder head for warp.
Piston/cylinder clearance, piston seizure.
Piston rings, piston ring grooves wear.

6-10 ENGINE TOP END
Engine Top End
Cylinder Head Warp Inspection

• Lay a straightedge [A] across the lower surface of the head [B] at
several different points, and measure warp by inserting a thickness
gauge between the straightedge and the head.
If warp exceeds the service limit, repair the mating surface. Replace
the cylinder head if the mating surface is badly damaged.
Cylinder Head Warp
Cylinder Wear Inspection

• Inspect the inside of the cylinder for scratches and abnormal wear.
If the cylinder is damaged or badly worn, replace it with a new one.
• Since there is a difference in cylinder wear in different directions,
take a side-to-side and a front-to-back measurement at each of the
3 locations (total of 6 measurements) shown in the figure.
[A] 10 mm (0.39 in.)
[B] 80 mm (3.15 in.)
[C] 35 mm (1.38 in.)
If any of the cylinder inside diameter measurements exceeds the

service limit, the cylinder will have to be replaced with a new one.
Cylinder Inside Diameter
Standard: 80.000 ~ 80.015 mm (3.1496 ~ 3.1502 in.) and less
than 0.01 mm (0.0004 in.) difference between
any two measurements
Service Limit: 80.10 mm (3.154 in.), or more than
0.05 mm (0.002 in.) difference between
any two measurements
Piston Diameter Measurement

• Measure the outside diameter [A] of the piston 16.9 mm (0.67 in.) up
[B] from the bottom of the piston at a right angle to the direction of
the piston pin.
Piston Diameter
Standard: 79.865 ~ 79.880 mm (3.1443 ~ 3.1449 in.)
If the measurement is less than the service limit, replace the piston.
NOTE
Abnormal wear such as a marked diagonal pattern across the
piston skirt may mean a bent connecting rod or a misaligned
crankshaft.
Piston/Cylinder Clearance
The piston-to-cylinder clearance must be checked, and the standard
value maintained anytime a piston or the cylinder block are replaced
with new parts.
The most accurate way to find the piston clearance is by making
separate piston and cylinder diameter measurements and then
computing the difference between the two values.
Measure the piston diameter as just described, and subtract this value
from the cylinder inside diameter measurement. The difference is the
piston clearance.
Piston/Cylinder Clearance
0.130 ~ 0.140 mm (0.0051 ~ 0.0055 in.)

ENGINE TOP END 6-11
Engine Top End
Piston Ring, Piston Ring Groove Inspection

• Visually inspect the piston rings and the piston ring grooves.
If the rings are worn unevenly or damaged, they must be replaced.
If the piston ring groove are worn unevenly or damaged, the piston
must be replaced and fitted with new rings.
Piston Ring End Gap

• Place the piston ring inside the cylinder, using the piston to locate
the ring squarely in place. Set it close to the bottom of the cylinder,
where cylinder wear is low.
• Measure the gap [A] between the ends of the ring [B] with a thickness
gauge.
If the gap is wider than the service limit, the ring is worn excessively
and must be replace.
Piston Ring End Gap

• Apply a non-permanent
Note the following when installing
locking agent to the check valve.
Press the check valve until it is bottomed. At this time, do not plug
up the hole of the check valve with a locking agent.

Crankshaft Maintenance
The crankshaft changes the reciprocating motion the piston into

rotating motion to drive the jet pump. Crankshaft trouble, such
as excessive play or runout, will multiply the stress caused by the
intermittent force on the piston and will result in not only rapid crankshaft
bearing wear, but also noise, power loss, vibration, and shortened
engine life. A defective crankshaft should always detected at an early
stage and repaired immediately.
The following explanation concerns the most common crankshaft
problems and the method for measuring play, runout and con-rod
alignment. It does not cover crankshaft disassembly because of the
highly specialized equipment that is required. If crankshaft components
become damaged or worn, the entire crankshaft should be replaced as
an assembly.
Connecting Rod Bend/Twist

Set the crankshaft in an alignment jig or in V blocks on a surface
plate.
Select an arbor of the same diameter as the connecting rod small
end and at least 100 mm long , and insert the arbor through the
connecting rod small end.
With the connecting rod held vertically, use a height gauge to measure
the difference in the height of the arbor above the surface plate over
a 100 mm length to determine the amount of connecting rod bend.
If connecting rod bend exceeds the service limit, the crankshaft must
be replaced.
Connecting Rod Bend
Standard: Under 0.05/100 mm (0.0020/3.937 in.)
Service Limit: 0.2/100 mm (0.008/3.937 in.)
• Measure connecting rod twist.

With the crankshaft still in the alignment jig, hold the connecting rod
horizontally and measure the amount that the arbor varies from being
parallel with the crankshaft over a 100 mm length of the arbor to
determine the amount of connecting rod twist.
If connecting rod twist exceeds the service limit, the crankshaft must
be replaced.
Connecting Rod Twist
Standard: Under 0.15/100 mm (0.0059/3.937 in.)
Service Limit: 0.2/100 mm (0.0081/3.937 in.)
Connecting Rod Big End Radial Clearance

• Check big end radial clearance.
Set the crankshaft in an alignment jig or on V blocks, and place a dial
gauge against the connecting rod big end.
Push the connecting rod first towards the gauge and then in the
opposite direction. The difference between the two gauge readings
is the radial clearance.
If the radial clearance exceeds the service limit, the crankshaft
assembly must be replaced or disassembled and the crankpin, needle
bearing, and connecting rod big end examined for wear.
Connecting Rod Big End Radial Clearance
Standard: 0.018 ~ 0.030 mm (0.0007 ~ 0.0012 in.)

Crankshaft Maintenance
Connecting Rod Big End Side Clearance

• Measure big end side clearance [A].
Insert feeler gauges between the big end and either crank half to
determine clearance.
If the measured value exceeds the service limit, the crankshaft should
be replaced.
Connecting Rod Big End Side Clearance
Standard: 0.45 ~ 0.55 mm (0.0177 ~ 0.0217 in.)
Crankshaft Main Bearing Wear

• Wash the bearings in high flash-point solvent, blow them dry (DO
NOT SPIN THEM), and lubricate them with engine oil.
CAUTION
Solvent is toxic and flammable. Avoid prolonged contact
with skin and keep away from open flame. Use only in a
well ventilated area. Eye protection should be worn when
compressed air is used to dry parts. Do not direct air towards
anyone. Use 172 kPa (1.75 kg/cm2, 25 psi) maximum nozzle
pressure.
• Turn each bearing over by hand and see that it makes no noise, turns
smoothly, and has no rough spots.
If any of the bearings are defective, the crankshaft should be replaced.
Crankshaft Runout
• Check crankshaft alignment by measuring runout.
With the crankshaft on V blocks [A], rotate the crankshaft slowly and
measure runout at each of the locations shown.
If the runout at any point exceeds the service limit, the crankshaft
must be replaced.
Crankshaft Runout [B]
Standard: Under 0.04 mm (0.0016 in.) TIR
Service Limit: 0.10 mm (0.004 in.) TIR

Breather Cleaning and Inspection

• Check that the small hole in the top of the breather is open by blowing
in one end of the breather and plugging the other.
If the hole is plugged, clean it with compressed air. Do not open it
with a pointed object (like a needle or a piece of wire), because the
hole may be enlarged. If the hole is too large, the bilge system may
not suck water out of the hull as it should.

Cooling and Bilge System Hoses
Hose Removal
• None of the bilge system hoses has a clamp. The bilge system hoses
may be simply pulled off their fittings.
• All the cooling system hoses are clamped at both ends. Loosen the
clamps and pull the hoses off.
Hose Installation
• To install the bilge filter hose, push the hose over the end of the filter.
• When installing the cooling system hoses, be sure to use the same
kind of clamp as the original. Some of the clamps are metal for tighter
clamping ability (required when smooth fittings are used). Plastic
clamps are used where tight clamping is not required.
Hose Inspection
• Check the hoses for hardening, cracking, checking, cuts, abrasions,
and breaks.
If a hose is damaged in any way, replace it immediately and check
all the others for damage.

• Examine the impeller [A].
If there is pitting, deep scratches, nicks or other damage, replace the
impeller.
NOTE
Minor nicks and gouges in the impeller blades can be removed
with abrasive paper or careful filing. Smooth leading edges are
especially important to avoid cavitation.
Measure the impeller outside diameter.

If the impeller is worn smaller than the service limit, replace it.
Impeller Outside Diameter
Standard: 147.5 ~ 147.7 mm (5.787 ~ 5.815 in.)
• Examine the pump case [A].

If there are deep scratches inside the pump case, replace it.
Measure the inside diameter of the pump case.

If the pump case is worn beyond the service limit, replace it.
Pump Case Inside Diameter
Standard: 148.0 ~ 148.1 mm (5.827 ~ 5.831 in.)
Impeller Clearance
• Impeller clearance is critical to proper performance. If the pump
case and impeller are not visibly damaged, poor performance may
be caused by too much impeller clearance.
• To check impeller clearance, remove the grate and insert a feeler
gauge [A] between the tip of the impeller blade [B] and the pump
case [C].
Impeller Clearance
Standard: 0.15 ~ 0.3 mm (0.006 ~ 0.012 in.)
If impeller clearance is incorrect, determine if it is due to wear or
damage (see Pump and Impeller Inspection).

NOTE
The rubber parts on the watercraft are fastened in place with
various adhesives. To replace a rubber part, use a cement in the
following table, or an equivalent.
Read all warnings and cautions on any solvents and adhesives

used. Many of these products are flammable, may be harmful
to the skin and eyes, and may give off harmful vapors. Use
these solvents and adhesives only in a well-ventilated area and
never near an open flame.
For this Application: Type
Mats Synthetic Rubber Adhesive

Engine Hood Gasket (P/N: 92104-3701)

CAUTION
Be very careful that the part is positioned correctly when you
apply the cement. It may be impossible to reposition the part.
Do not get any cyanoacrylate cement in your eyes or on your

skin. If you do get some in your eyes, do not try to wash it
out. Contact a physician immediately! If you do get some on
your fingers, do not touch any other part of your body; your
fingers will stick to anything they touch. Allow the cement to
cure and it will eventually wear off.

segments, a winding is open and the starter motor must be replaced.
• Using the highest ohmmeter range, measure the resistance between
the commutator and the shaft [B].
If there is any reading at all, the armature has a short and the starter
motor must be replaced.
Even if the foregoing checks show the armature to be good, it may be

defective in some manner not readily detectable with an ohmmeter. If
all other starter motor and stater motor circuit components check good,
but the starter motor still does not turn over or only turns over weakly,
replace the starter motor with a new one.

• Connect the hand tester to the EMM 8-pin connector [A], using the
needle adapter set.
Special Tools - Hand Tester: 57001–1394 [B]
Needle Adapter Set: 57001–1457 [C]
To avoid electrical shock, do not perform this test with the

watercraft in the water.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine over 15 seconds without cooling water.
• With the hand tester, check the stator functional inspection according
to the following table with engine running at approximately 2,400 rpm.

You also can perform charging voltage test (Injector and Ignition
Operation) with engine cranking.
Charging Voltage Test (Injector and Ignition Operation) with Engine
Cranking

250 VDC Black/Red lead Ground Approx. 20 V
If the changing voltage is zero or almost zero, check the charging

system circuit and 20 A fuse. And check that the charging coil is
open or not.
If the charging voltage is low, check the charging coil resistance with
hand tester according to the following table.
• Disconnect the 12-pin charging coil lead connector [A] on the EMM.
Charging Coil Resistance Test

range, zero it, and connect it to
• the CPS lead tester
Set the hand
terminals (Orange and Black) in the connector.
If there is more resistance than the specified value, the coil has an
open lead and must be replaced. Much less than this resistance
means the coil is shorted, and must be replaced.
Crank Position Sensor (CPS) Resistance
Standard: 430 ± 30
Ignition Coil Removal

• Pull the spark plug cap.
• Pull the primary lead connector [A] off the ignition coil.
• Unscrew the mounting bolts [B] and remove the ignition coil.
Ignition Coil Installation Notes

• Route the spark plug leads and primary leads correctly (see Cable,
Wire and Hose Routing in the General Information chapter).
Ignition Coil Inspection

Measuring arcing distance:
The most accurate test for determining the condition of the ignition
coil is made by measuring arcing distance.
• Remove the ignition coil.
• Connect the ignition coil [A] (with the spark plug cap left installed
on the spark plug lead) to the tester [B], and measure the arcing
distance.
To avoid extremely high voltage shocks, do not touch the coil

or lead.
If the distance reading is less than the specified value, the ignition
coil or spark plug cap is defective.
3 Needle Arcing Distance
Standard: 7 mm (0.28 in.) or more
• To determine which part is defective, measure the arcing distance

again with the spark plug caps removed from the ignition coil.
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.

Ignition System
Measuring coil resistance:

If the Coil Tester is not available, the coil can be checked for a broken
or badly shorted winding with a hand tester. However, a hand tester can
not detect layer shorts and shorts resulting from insulation breakdown
under high voltage.
• Disconnect the primary leads from the coil terminals.
• Measure the primary winding resistance as follows [A].
Connect the tester between the coil terminals.
Set the tester to the 2 1
range, and read the tester.
• Measure the secondary winding resistance as follows [B].
Remove the plug caps by turning them counterclockwise.
Connect the tester between the spark plug leads.
Set the tester to the 2 100
range, and read the tester.
If the hand tester does not read as specified, replace the coil.
Winding Resistance
Standard: Primary windings 0.90 ± 0.05
Secondary windings 288 ± 7
If the tester reads as specified, the ignition coil windings are probably
good. However, if the ignition system still does not perform as it
should after all other components have been checked, test replace
the coil with one known to be good.
• Check the spark plug lead for visible damage.
If the spark plug lead is damaged, replace the coil.

Ignition System

Ignition System
Igniter Inspection
The igniter is built in the EMM.
CAUTION
Do not disconnect the battery leads or any other electrical
connections when the ignition switch is on, or while the engine
is running. This is to prevent igniter in the EMM damage.
Ignition Coil Primary Peak Voltage Check:

NOTE
[A] fully onto the spark plug cap holder [B].
NOTE
Maintain the correct value of compression pressure for the cylinder
( Be sure to measure the voltage with the spark plug installed to
the cylinder head).
• Install a commercially available peak voltage adapter [A] into the hand
tester [B].
• Disconnect the ignition coil primary lead connector. And the connec-
tor is reconnected mutually by using four auxiliary wires [C].
• Connect the adapter between the ignition coil primary lead terminal
