EAU01175Tool kit
The tool kit is located behind panel
A. (See page 6-6 for panel removal
and installation procedures.) The
tools provided in the owner’s tool
kit are to assist you in the perfor-
mance of periodic maintenance.
However, some other tools such as
a torque wrench are also necessary
to perform the maintenance cor-
rectly.
The service information included in
this manual is intended to provide
you, the owner, with the necessary
information for completing some
of your own preventive mainte-
nance and minor repairs.

EAU00464
Periodic inspection, adjustment
and lubrication will keep your
motorcycle in the safest and most
efficient condition possible. Safety
is an obligation of the motorcycle
owner. The maintenance and lubri-
cation schedule chart should be
considered strictly as a guide to
general maintenance and lubrica-
tion intervals.
YOU MUST TAKE INTO CONSID-
ERATION THAT WEATHER, TER-
RAIN, GEOGRAPHICAL LOCA-
TIONS, AND A VARIETY OF
INDIVIDUAL USES ALL TEND TO
DEMAND THAT EACH OWNER
ALTER THIS TIME SCHEDULE TO
SHORTER INTERVALS TO MATCH
THE ENVIRONMENT. The most
important points of motorcycle
inspection, adjustment, and lubri-
cation are explained in the follow-
ing pages.

Installation
1. Measure the electrode gap
with a wire thickness gauge
and, if necessary, adjust the
gap to specification.
2. Clean the gasket surface. Wipe
off any grime from the
threads.
3. Install the spark plug and tight-
en it to the specified torque.
a. Spark plug gap
NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available
when you are installing a spark
plug, a good estimate of the cor-
rect torque is 1/4 to 1/2 turn past
finger tight. Have the spark plug
tightened to the specified torque as
soon as possible.
4. Install the spark plug caps.
Spark plug gap:
0.6 ~ 0.7 mm
Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
12.5 Nm (1.25 m0kg)
