dusty areas.
• Hydraulic brake system
– Replace the brake fluid or clutch fluid after disassembling the master cylinder, caliper cyl-
inder or release cylinder.
– Check the brake fluid or clutch fluid level and add fluid as required.
– Replace the master cylinder, caliper cylinder and release cylinder oil seals every two
years.
– Replace the brake hoses and clutch hose every four years, or if cracked or damaged.

ADJUSTING THE VALVE CLEARANCE
EB303001
ENGINE
ADJUSTING THE VALVE CLEARANCE
The following procedure applies to all of
the valves.
NOTE:

• Valve clearance adjustment should be
made on a cold engine, at room tem-
perature.
• When the valve clearance is to be mea-
sured or adjusted, the piston must be
at top dead center (TDC) on the com-
pression stroke.
1. Remove:
• bottom cowling
• front cowling
• rear cowling
Refer to “COWLINGS”.
• fuel tank
• air filter case cover
Refer to “FUEL TANK AND AIR FIL-
TER”.
• air filter case
• throttle body assembly
Refer to “ELECTRONIC FUEL INJEC-
TION” IN CHAPTER 6.
• radiator assembly
• thermostat assembly
Refer to “RADIATOR AND THERMO-
STAT” in chapter 5.
2. Disconnect:
• camshaft sensor coupler
• ignition coil couplers
3. Remove:
• ignition coils
• spark plugs
•
cylinder head cover

NOTE:
Prior to synchronizing the throttle
bodies, the valve clearance and the
engine idling speed should be properly
adjusted and the ignition timing should
be checked.
1. Stand the motorcycle on a level surface.
NOTE:
Place the motorcycle on a suitable
stand.
