1989 Kawasaki 650 Sx Service Manual
A new watercraft should be ridden with care during the break-in period to allow mechanical components to 'bed-in' and produce smooth, long-wearing surfaces. Kawasaki recommends use of a 50:1 gas/oil premix in the fuel tank for extra lubrication during the break-in period. Use premixed fuel for the first five hours (approx. Three tanks of fuel).
Kawasaki 750 Jet Ski Manual
After the break-in period, the oil injection system provides the necessary engine lubrication without the need for premixed fuel. During the first five hours of engine operation, do not subject the engine to heavy lugging or prolonged full throttle operation.
Vary the operating speed often, not running for a prolonged time at any one speed. After the engine has started, allow it to warm up for about 1 minute. Apply a little throttle occasionally. Excessive idling can foul the spark plugs. Check that water comes out of the bypass outlet in the left side of the hull when the throttle is applied. This indicates that cooling water is circulating. If there is none, shut off the engine and find the source of the trouble.
When the exhaust system is dry, it can take up to 15 seconds for water to appear at the bypass outlet. Tds 11 top drive manual. Deep water starting is the primary means of starting the watercraft. It is not necessarily the easiest way to start, but it must be mastered so that you can get going again after the inevitable spill in deep water. 1) Start the engine in water that is at least waist deep. 2) Assume a prone position behind the boat with your hands grasping the handlebar and your forearms resting on the tail fins. 3) Check that the water ahead of you is clear.
