Kawasaki VNL600 Classic Tourer Assembly Preparation Manual

In order to ship Kawasaki vehicles as efficiently as possible, they are partially disassembled before crating. Since some of the most commonly removed parts have a direct bearing on a vehicle’s reliability and safety, conscientious pre-sale assembly and preparation becomes extremely important. Good setup procedures can prevent needless warranty claims and give customers a greater sense of confidence in Kawasaki and their Kawasaki Dealers. The selling dealer assumes sole responsibility for any unauthorized modifications prior to sale. Refer to your Service Binder for any Service Bulletins specifying Factory Directed Modifications (Special Claims) which must be performed before the vehicle is ready for sale.

The headlight beam is adjustable both hori- zontally and vertically. Headlight aim must be correctly adjusted for safe riding as well as on- coming drivers. In most areas it is illegal to ride with an improperly adjusted headlight. The torque values listed are for assembly and preparation items only, see the appropriate Service Manual for a more comprehensive list. Check tightness of all fasteners that are in the table before retail delivery. Also check to see that each cotter pin or circlip is in place. This table relating tightening torque to thread diameter, lists the basic torque for bolts and nuts. Use this table for only the bolts and nuts which do not require a specific torque value. All of the values are for use with dry solvent -cleaned threads.
