What kind of lubricant do you use on Kawasaki Ava Voyager?
Do not use gasoline, motor oil, or any other petroleum distillate, as this will cause deterioration of the rubber parts. When lubricating these shafts, Kawasaki recommends using a Poly Butyl Cuprysil grease (PBC is a special high temperature, water resistant grease).
What should the tire pressure be on a Voyager?
B. Heavier loads-dual riding and/or luggage (from 200 lb. total up to maximum motorcycle capacity stated in the owner’s manual)-pressure of 36 psi front and 40 psi rear must be maintained. Please Note: For any dual riding or fully loaded use, 40 psi must be maintained in all Dunlop rear tires fitted to touring motorcycles.
Why are the brakes sticking on my Ava Voyager?
If you still experience sticking brakes, then you may need to examine and clean the caliper piston and probably replace the caliper piston seal and dust cover, also check the master cylinders as these could also be possibly sticking due to excess moisture in the brake fluid (that’s what turns the fluid the root beer color.)
