PREPARATION FOR REMOVAL AND
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove all dirt, mud, dust, and foreign
material before removal and disassem-
bly.
When washing the machine with high
pressured water, cover the parts follows.
l
Silencer end
l
Air filter intake hole
l
Water pump housing hole at the bottom
l

2. Use proper tools and cleaning equip-
ment. Refer to “SPECIAL TOOLS” sec-
tion.
3. When disassembling the machine, keep
mated parts together. They include
gears, cylinders, pistons, and other
mated parts that have been “mated”
through normal wear. Mated parts must
be reused as an assembly or replaced.
4. During the machine disassembly, clean
all parts and place them in trays in the

VORBEREITUNG FÜR AUSBAU
UND ZERLEGUNG
1. Vor dem Ausbau oder Zerle-
gen der Bauteile sämtlichen
Schmutz, Schlamm, Staub so-
wie andere Fremdkörper ent-
fernen.
Wenn das Motorrad mit einem
Hochdruckwascher gereinigt
wird, sind folgende Teile sorg-
fältig abzudecken.
lSchalldämpferende
lLuftfilter-Einlaßöffnung
lWasserpumpengehäuse-
loch unten
lVergaser-Beschleuniger-
pumpe
2. Nur geeignete Werkzeuge und
Reinigungsmittel verwenden.
Siehe unter “SPEZIALWERK-
ZEUGE”.
3. Beim Zerlegen zusammenge-
hörige Teile immer gemein-
sam ablegen. Dies gilt beson-
ders für Zahnräder, Zylinder,
Kolben und alle beweglichen
Teile, die miteinander arbei-
ten. Solche Baugruppen dür-
fen nur komplett wiederver-
wendet oder ausgetauscht
werden.
4. Alle ausgebauten Teile reini-
gen und in der Reihenfolge
des Ausbaus auf einer saube-
ren Unterlage ablegen. Dies
gewährleistet einen zügigen
und korrekten Zusammenbau.
5. Alle Teile von offenem Feuer
fernhalten.

PREPARATION POUR LA DEPOSE
ET DEMONTAGE
1. Eliminer soigneusement crasse,
boue, poussière et corps étrangers
avant la dépose et le démontage.
Avant de laver le véhicule à l’eau
pressurisée, recouvrir les parties
suivantes:
lExtrémité du silencieux
lOrifice d’admission du filtre à
air
lOrifice au fond du carter de la
pompe à eau
lPompe d’accélération du car-
burateur
2. Utiliser les outils et le matériel de
nettoyage correct. Se reporter à la
section “OUTILS SPECIAUX”.
3. Lors du démontage de la
machine, garder les pièces conne-
xes ensemble. Ils comprennent
les engrenages, cylindres, pistons
et autres pièces connexes qui se
sont “accouplées” par usure nor-
male. Les pièces connexes doi-
vent être réutilisées en un
ensemble ou changées.
4. Lors du démontage de la
machine, nettoyer toutes les piè-
ces et les mettre dans des pla-
teaux dans l’ordre du démontage.
Ceci diminuera le temps de

PREPARATIVI PER LA RIMO-
ZIONE E IL DISASSEMBLAGGIO
1. Rimuovere tutto lo sporco, il
fango, la polvere e il materiale
estraneo prima della rimozione e
del disassemblaggio.
Durante il lavaggio del veicolo
con acqua ad alta pressione,
coprire le parti seguenti:
lEstremità del silenziatore
lForo di ingresso del filtro
dell’aria
lForo di alloggiamento della
pompa dell’acqua in basso
lPompa di circolazione del car-
buratore
2. Utilizzare utensili e strumenta-
zione per la pulizia adatti. Fare
riferimento al paragrafo “UTEN-
SILI SPECIALI”.
3. Nello smontaggio del veicolo,
non separare parti accoppiate. Ciò
comprende gli ingranaggi, i cilin-
dri, i pistoni e altri pezzi accop-
piati, che si sono adattati l’uno
all’altro attraverso la normale
usura. Le parti accoppiate vanno
riutilizzate come una sola unità o
sostituite.
4. Durante lo smontaggio del vei-
colo, pulire tutti i pezzi e posizio-
narli sui vassoi nell’ordine in cui
sono stati smontati. Ciò abbrevia i
tempi di rimontaggio e assicura
che tutti i pezzi siano reinstallati
correttamente.
5. Tenere lontano dal fuoco.

CONTROL FUNCTIONS
EC158001
FUEL COCK
The fuel cock supplies fuel from the tank to
carburetor while filtering the fuel. The fuel cock
has the two positions:
OFF:With the lever in this position, fuel will not
flow. Always return the lever to this posi-
tion when the engine is not running.
ON: With the lever in this position, fuel flows
to the carburetor. Normal riding is done
with the lever in this position.
COLD STARTER KNOB
When cold, the engine requires a richer air-fuel
mixture for starting. A separate starter circuit,
which is controlled by the cold starter knob 1,
supplies this mixture. Pull the cold starter knob
out to open the circuit for starting. When the
engine has warmed up, push it in to close the
circuit.
HOT STARTER KNOB
The hot starter knob (red) 1 is used when
starting a warm engine.
Use the hot starter knob when starting the
engine again immediately after it was stopped
(the engine is still warm). Pulling out the hot
starter knob injects secondary air to thin the
air-fuel mixture temporarily, allowing the
engine to be started more easily.
CAUTION:
After the engine has started, be sure to
push the hot starter knob back in.
