Does the 1st one do the same thing as a Battery Tender Jr? Any reason why I shouldn't just get the cheaper Battery Tender Jr?

Kawasaki recommends using a 1.5 Amp Automatic Charger. Battery Tender Jr. output is .750 amps. Schumacher makes a perfect charger designed for small batteries such as used on motorcycles. It can be purchased at Walmart for about $21.00

The Schumacher Model XM1-5 maintains both 6 and 12-volt batteries, keeping them at full charge using float-mode monitoring. The XM1-5 is perfect for charging small and large batteries found on motorcycles, classic cars, RVs, boats and more. Schumacher XM1-5 Maintainer, 1.5-Amp:

1.5 amp charger and maintainer
Fully automatic
Microprocessor controlled
Automatic voltage detection
Automatic temperature compensation
Thermal runaway protection
Safety start feature
LEDs indicate charging, charged and power
Quick disconnect harness
Reverse hookup protection

This model comes with set of quick disconnect battery clamps, a quick disconnect cable with terminals to mount directly to the battery and the charger. Installation is quick and easy.
