The Engines and Power Products Division of Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A., has increased the consumer warranty on select- ed engine groupings to three years. Engines affected by this new warranty coverage are the FR, FS, and FX series, totaling 22 sepa- rate engines. According to Rodger Howe, director of operations at Kawasaki, the expanded warranty does not apply to

engines used in commercial applications, which will still maintain the company’s stan- dard two-year warranty. The new FR series engines are four-cycle V-twin power plants with a broad spectrum of applications and range in size from 22 to 26 hp. The six FS series engines covered by the new warranty, range in size from 16 to 26 hp. The FX series engines are rated 16 to 37 hp.
