COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION
WARNING

Do not remove the radiator cap
1
, drain
bolt and hoses when the engine and radia-
tor are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam
may be blown out under pressure, which
could cause serious injury.
When the engine has cooled, place a thick
towel over the radiator cap, slowly rotate
the cap counterclockwise to the detent.
This procedure allows any residual pres-
sure to escape. When the hissing sound
has stopped, press down on the cap while
turning counterclockwise and remove it.
CAUTION:

Hard water or salt water is harmful to the
engine parts. You may use distilled water, if
you can’t get soft water.
1. Place the machine on a level place, and
hold it in an upright position.
2. Inspect:
l
Coolant level
Coolant level should be between the
maximum
a
and minimum
b
marks.
Coolant level is below the “LOW” level
line
®
Add soft water (tap water) up to
the proper level.
3. Start the engine and let it warm up for
several minutes.
4. Turn off the engine and check the coolant
level again.
NOTE:

Before checking the coolant level, wait a few
minutes until the coolant settles.

AIR FILTER CLEANING
NOTE:
Proper air filter maintenance is the biggest key
to preventing premature engine wear and
damage.Checking steps:
lRemove the timing plug.
lTurn the crankshaft counterclockwise to
align the T.D.C. mark a on the rotor with
the align mark b on the crankcase cover
when piston is at T.D.C. on compression
stroke.
lCheck the free play c.
Free play:
5 ~ 9 mm (0.20 ~ 0.35 in)
Adjustment steps:
lLoosen the locknut 1.
lTurn the adjuster 2 in or out until the
adjustment is suitable.
lTighten the locknut.
CAUTION:
After the adjustment, start the engine
and make sure that the engine does not
stop when the handlebars are turned
fully both ways. If the decompression
cable is too tense, the engine will stop
by the decompression system.

lValve clearance
Out of specification ® Adjust.
Valve clearance (cold):
Intake valve:
0.15 ~ 0.20 mm (0.0059 ~ 0.0079 in)
Exhaust valve:
0.25 ~ 0.30 mm (0.0098 ~ 0.0118 in)
Checking steps:
lTurn the crankshaft counterclockwise with
a wrench.
lAlign the T.D.C. mark a on the rotor with
the align mark b on the crankcase cover
when piston is at T.D.C. on compression
stroke.
lMeasure the valve clearance using a
feeler gauge 1.
NOTE:
Squeezing the decompressor lever allows
the crankshaft to be turned easily.
NOTE:
TDC on compression stroke can be found
when the cam lobes are opposite each
other as shown.
NOTE:
Record the measured reading if the clear-
ance is incorrect.

CAUTION:
Too small chain slack will overload the
engine and other vital parts; keep the
slack within the specified limits.

HANDLING NOTE
WARNING

Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot
fluid and steam may be blown out under
pressure, which could cause serious
injury.
When the engine has cooled, open the radi-
ator cap by the following procedure:
Place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radi-
ator cap, slowly rotate the cap counter-
clockwise to the detent. This procedure
allows any residual pressure to escape.
When the hissing sound has stopped,
press down on the cap while turning coun-
terclockwise and remove it.

1. Remove:
lTiming plug 1
lStraight plug 2
2. Align:
l“I” mark
With stationary pointer.
Checking steps:
lTurn the crankshaft counterclockwise with
a wrench.
lAlign the “I” mark a on the rotor with the
stationary pointer b on the crankcase
cover. When the “I” mark is aligned with
the stationary pointer, the piston is at the
Top Dead Center (T.D.C.).
NOTE:
lIn order to be sure that the piston is at Top
Dead Center, the punch mark c on the
exhaust camshaft and the punch mark d
on the intake camshaft must align with the
cylinder head surface, as shown in the
illustration.
lIf there is no clearance, rotate the crank-
shaft counterclockwise one turn.
3. Loosen:
lCamshaft sprocket bolts
lTensioner cap bolt 1
4. Remove:
lTiming chain tensioner 2
5. Remove:
lBolt (camshaft cap) 1
lCamshaft caps 2
NOTE:
Remove the bolts (camshaft cap) in a criss-
cross pattern, working from the inside out.
CAUTION:
The bolts (camshaft cap) must be removed
evenly to prevent damage to the cylinder
head, camshafts or camshaft caps.
