Kawasaki Versys 650 Owner's Manual FOREWORD Congratulations on your purchase of a new Kawasaki motorcycle. Your new mo- torcycle is the product of Kawasaki’s advanced engineering, exhaustive testing, and continuous striving for superior reliability, safety and performance. Please read this Owner’s Manual carefully before riding so that you will be thoroughly familiar with the proper operation of your motorcycle’s controls, its fea- tures, capabilities, and limitations. This manual offers many safe riding tips, but its purpose is not to provide instruction in all the techniques and skills required to ride a motorcycle safely. Kawasaki strongly recommends that all operators of this vehi- cle enroll in a motorcycle rider training program to attain awareness of the mental and physical requirements necessary for safe motorcycle operation. To ensure a long, trouble-free life for your motorcycle, give it the proper care and maintenance described in this manual. For those who would like more detailed in- formation on their Kawasaki Motorcycle, a Service Manual is available for purchase from any authorized Kawasaki motorcycle dealer. The Service Manual contains de- tailed disassembly and maintenance information. Those who plan to do their own work should, of course, be competent mechanics and possess the special tools described in the Service Manual. Keep this Owner’s Manual aboard your motorcycle at all times so that you can refer to it whenever you need information. Kawasaki Versys 650 Owner's Manual This manual should be considered a permanent part of the motorcycle and should remain with the motorcycle when it is sold. All rights reserved.
