Known problems

Two oil filters on the parts list

Kawasaki's catalogue lists a spin-on filter assembly (16097-0010) and a separate internal filter (49065-0029). The spin-on one is the routine service part.

Separate air intake for the belt converter

Kawasaki's parts catalogue shows a separate air cleaner for the belt converter as well as the engine air cleaner. Check both after water or heavy dust.

Schedule not published openly

Kawasaki's owner's manual is not freely readable online. Keep the paper handbook with the machine and follow its periodic maintenance chart.
