3. INSPECT BRUSHES
Using vernier calipers, measure the exposed brush length.
Standard exposed length:
9.5 ± 11.5 mm (0.374 ± 0.453 in.)
Minimum exposed length: 1.5 mm (0.059 in.)
If the exposed length is less than minimum, replace the brush
holder assembly.
4. INSPECT RECTIFIERS (RECTIFIER HOLDER)
(a) Check the positive (+) rectifier.
(1) Using an ohmmeter, connect one tester prob to the
positive (+) terminal and the other to each rectifier
terminal.
(2) Reverse the polarity of the tester probes and repeat
step (a).
(3) Check that one shows continuity and the other
shows no continuity.
If continuity is not as specified, replace the rectifier holder.
(b) Check the negative (±) rectifier.
(1) Using an ohmmeter, connect one tester probe to
each negative (±) terminal and the other to each
rectifier terminal.
(2) Reverse the polarity of the tester probes and repeat
step (a).
(3) Check that one shows continuity and the other
shows no continuity.
If continuity is not as specified, replace the rectifier holder.
5. INSPECT BEARING
Check the bearing is not rough or worn.
If necessary, replace the bearing. (See page CH±11)

(d) Check the valve overall length.
Standard overall length:
Intake98.29 ± 98.79 mm (3.8697 ± 3.8894 in.)
Exhaust98.84 ± 99.34 mm (3.8913 ± 3.9110 in.)
Minimum overall length:
Intake98.19 mm (3.8657 in.)
Exhaust98.74 mm (3.8874 in.)
If the overall length is less than minimum, replace the valve.
(e) Check the surface of the valve stem tip for wear.
If the valve stem tip is worn, resurface the tip with a grinder or
replace the valve.
NOTICE:
Do not grind off more than the minimum overall length.
7. INSPECT AND CLEAN VALVE SEATS
(a) Using a 45° carbide cutter, resurface the valve seats.
Remove only enough metal to clean the seats.
(b) Check the valve seating position.
Apply a thin coat of Prussian blue (or white lead) to the
valve face. Lightly press the valve against the seat. Do not
rotate the valve.
(c) Check the valve face and seat for the following:

If blue appears 360° around the face, the valve is
concentric. If not, replace the valve.

If blue appears 360° around the valve seat, the
guide and face are concentric. If not, resurface the
seat.

Check that the seat contact is in the middle of the
valve face with the following width:
If not, correct the valve seats as follows:
Intake1.0 ± 1.4 mm (0.039 ± 0.055 in.)
Exhaust1.2 ± 1.6 mm (0.047 ± 0.063 in.)
(1) If the seating is too high on the valve face, use 15°
and 45° cutters to correct the seat.

(2) If the seating is too low on the valve face, use 75°
and 45° cutters to correct the seat.
(d) Hand±lap the valve and valve seat with an abrasive com-
pound.
(e) After hand±lapping, clean the valve and valve seat.
8. INSPECT VALVE SPRINGS
(a) Using a steel square, measure the deviation of the valve
spring.
Maximum deviation: 2.0 mm (0.079 in.)
If deviation is greater than maximum, replace the valve spring.
(b) Using vernier calipers, measure the free length of the
valve spring.
Free length:
Pink painted mark43.71 mm (1.7209 in.)
Yellow painted mark44.10 mm (1.7362 in.)
If the free length is not as specified, replace the valve spring.
(c) Using a spring tester, measure the tension of the valve
spring at the specified installed length.
Installed tension:
186.2 ± 205.8 N (19.0 ± 21.0 kgf, 41.9 ± 46.3 lbf)
at 34.5 mm (1.358 in.)
If the installed tension is not as specified, replace the valve
spring.

REPLACEMENT
CAUTION:

Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will
result in the removal of natural fats from the skin,
leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addi-
tion, used engine oil contains potentially harmful
contaminants which may cause skin cancer.

Exercise caution in order to minimize the length and
frequency of contact of your skin to used oil. Wear
protective clothing and gloves. Wash your skin thor-
oughly with soap and water, or use water±less hand
cleaner, to remove any used engine oil. Do not use
gasoline, thinners, or solvents.

In order to preserve the environment, used oil and
used oil filters must be disposed of only at desig-
nated disposal sites.
1. DRAIN ENGINE OIL
(a) Remove the oil filler cap.
(b) Remove the oil drain plug, and drain the oil into a contain-
er.
2. REPLACE OIL FILTER
(a) Remove the 3 screws, and bend the engine under cover.
(b) Using SST, remove the oil filter.
SST 09228±07501
(c) Clean the oil filter contact surface on the oil filter mount-
ing.
(d) Lubricate the filter rubber gasket with clean engine oil.
(e) Tighten the oil filter by hand until the rubber gasket con-
tacts the seat of the filter mounting.
(f) Using SST, tighten it an additional 3/4 turn to seat the fil-
ter.
SST 09228±07501
(g) Reinstall the engine under cover with the 3 screws.
3. FILL WITH ENGINE OIL
(a) Clean and install the oil drain plug with a new gasket.
