Kawasaki Smart Steering system provides thrust (approx2800 rpm-in water) when the these three conditions are metCondition 1: Condition 2: Condition 3: Throttle is releaseThe throttle opening angle of throttle sensor at idleThe handlebar is fully turned in either directionThe steering position sensor switches ONThe average engine speed for period of time before the system operates is 3000 rpm or moreThe igniter calculates the average engine speed based on the data sent from the crankshaft sensor
The IC igniter will send digital signals for the most adequate actions to the Kawasaki Smart Steering actuator if three conditions mentioned above are completedThe smart steering cable [A] will be pulled if the actuator [B] with built-in servo motor receives signalsEngine speed will be increased (up to approximately 2,800 rpm) by opening the throttle valvesThis will provide enough thrusts to allow your personal watercraft to turnCarburetor [C] Pulley [D]
