OIL PRESSURE INSPECTION
1. Check:
Oil pressure
Checking steps:
Slightly loosen the oil pressure check bolt
1.
Start the engine and keep it idling until oil
starts to seep from the oil pressure check
bolt. If no oil comes out after one minute,
turn the engine off so it will not seize.
Check oil passages and oil pump for dam-
age or leakage.
Start the engine after solving the prob-
lem(s) and recheck the oil pressure.
Tighten the oil pressure check bolt.

PILOT SCREW ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust:
Pilot screw 1
* For EUROPE
** For CDN, ZA, AUS and NZAdjustment steps:
NOTE:
To optimize the fuel flow at a smaller throttle
opening, each machine’s pilot screw has
been individually set at the factory. Before
adjusting the pilot screw, turn it in fully and
count the number of turns. Record this num-
ber as the factory-set number of turns out.
Turn in the pilot screw until it is lightly
seated.
Turn out the pilot screw by the factory-set
number of turns.
Pilot screw:
2 turns out
* 1 turn out
** 1-1/8 turns out

VALVE CLEARANCE INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
Locate the rounded-off value and the
measured valve clearance in the chart
“PAD SELECTION TABLE”. The field
where these two coordinates intersect
shows the new pad number to use.
NOTE:
Use the new pad number only as a guide
when verifying the valve clearance adjust-
ment.
Install the new pads 7 and the valve lift-
ers 8.
NOTE:
Apply the engine oil on the valve lifters.
Apply the molybdenum disulfied oil on the
valve stem ends.
Valve lifter must turn smoothly when
rotated with a finger.
Be careful to reinstall valve lifters and
pads in their original place.
Install the decompression shaft 9, copper
washer 0, bolt (decompression shaft) A,
guide B, bolt (guide) C and decompres-
sion cable D.
NOTE:
Apply the engine oil on the decompression
shaft.

LIEREN
1. Messen:
Reifenluftdruck
Unvorschriftsmäßig → Ein-
stellen.
HINWEIS:
Den Reifenluftdruck bei kalten Rei-
fen kontrollieren.
Bei zu niedrigem Reifendruck liegt
die Reifenwulst nicht fest an, was
dazu führen kann, daß sich der
Reifen von der Felge löst.
Ein geneigter Reifenventilschaft
deutet an, daß der Reifen ver-
rutscht ist.
Bei geneigtem Reifenventilschaft
muß die Reifenposition berichtigt
werden.

Übermäßig → Erneuern. CONTROLE DE PRESSION DES
PNEUS
1. Mesurer:
Pression des pneus
Hors spécification → Régler.
N.B.:
Vérifier le pneu alors qu’il est froid.
Des butées de bourrelet lâches permet-
tent au pneu de se détacher de sa posi-
tion sur la jante lorsque la pression des
pneus est basse.
Une tige de soupape de pneu inclinée
indique que le pneu se détache de sa
position sur la jante.
Si la tige de soupape de pneu est incli-
née, le pneu a tendance à se détacher
de sa position. Corriger la position du
pneu.

dard:

→ Remplacer.
Rayons desserrés → Resserrer.
2. Serrer:
Rayon
N.B.:
Ne pas oublier de retendre les rayons
avant et après le rodage. Après un entraî-
nement ou une course, contrôler si les
rayons ne sont pas détendus.

CONTROLE DE LA ROUE
1. Mesure:
Voile de roue
Soulever la roue et la tourner.
Voile excessif → Remplacer.CONTROLLO DELLA PRESSIONE
DEI PNEUMATICI
1. Misurare:
Pressione dei pneumatici
Fuori specifica → Regolare.
NOTA:
Controllare i pneumatici a freddo.
I fermi del tallone consentono alla
ruota di scivolare dalla sua posizione
sul cerchio quando la pressione dei
pneumatici è bassa.
Uno stelo della valvola inclinato
indica che il pneumatico scivola dalla
sua posizione sul cerchione.
Se lo stelo della valvola è inclinato,
indica che il pneumatico ha la ten-
denza a scivolare fuori posizione. Cor-
reggere la posizione dei pneumatici.
Pressione standard pneu-
matici:
100 kPa

ISPEZIONE E SERRAGGIO DEI
RAGGI
1. Ispezionare:
Raggi 1
Deformazione/danno → Sosti-
tuire.
Raggi allentati → Serrare.
2. Serrare:
Raggi
NOTA:
Accertarsi di serrare i raggi prima e dopo
il rodaggio. Dopo un allenamento o una
gara controllare l’eventuale allentamento
dei raggi.
T R..3 Nm (0,3 m · kg, 2,2 ft · lb)
ISPEZIONE DELLE RUOTE
1. Ispezionare:
Scentratura
Sollevare la ruota e farla girare.
