Kawasaki KLE

Coolant capacity & service interval

Kawasaki KLE uses coolant with a capacity of 1,7 liters. Service intervals include checking at 12000 km or 12 months, and changing at 30000 km or 24 months and 36000 km or 36 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

TypeSpecifications
KLE 500, KLE500-B (2005-2008)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 1,7 liter
  • Check 12000 km/ 12 months
  • Change 36000 km/ 36 months
KLE 500, KLE500-A (1991-2004)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 1,7 liter
  • Change 30000 km/ 24 months

Additional Notes

  • The Kawasaki KLE 500 cooling system holds 1.7 liters across both the KLE500-A and KLE500-B variants, a capacity consistent with a full system service fill rather than a partial top-up volume.
  • The KLE500-A (1991-2004) carries a single coolant change interval of 30,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, meaning the coolant is replaced on whichever threshold arrives first.
  • The KLE500-B (2005-2008) introduces a two-stage service structure for the cooling system, separating a check interval from a full change interval, which was not part of the earlier variant's specification.
  • On the KLE500-B, the coolant check interval is set at 12,000 km or 12 months under normal use, serving as an intermediate inspection point between full coolant changes.
  • The KLE500-B coolant change interval extends to 36,000 km or 36 months under normal use, which is 6,000 km and 12 months longer than the change interval specified for the KLE500-A.
