ADJREAR BRAKE ADJUSTMENT/
FRONT BRAKE PAD INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
EC364002
REAR BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
1. Check:
Brake pedal height a
Out of specification → Adjust.
Brake pedal height a:
5 mm (0.20 in)
2. Adjust:
Brake pedal height
Pedal height adjustment steps:
Loosen the locknut 1.
Turn the adjusting nut 2 until the pedal
height a is within specified height.
Tighten the locknut.
WARNING
Adjust the pedal height between the
maximum Å and the minimum ı as
shown. (In this adjustment the bolt 3
end b should protrude out of the lower
adjusting nut 4 but not be less than
2 mm (0.08 in) c away from the brake
pedal 5).
After the pedal height adjustment, make
sure that the rear brake does not drag.

FRONT BRAKE PAD INSPECTION AND
REPLACEMENT
1. Inspect:
Brake pad thickness a
Out of specification → Replace as a
set.
2. Replace:
Brake pad
Brake pad thickness:
4.4 mm (0.17 in)
: 1.0 mm (0.04 in)
Brake pad replacement steps:
Remove the pad pin plug 1.

Float height
1. Measure:
Float height a
Out of specification → Adjust.
Float height:
8.0 mm (0.31 in)
Measurement and adjustment steps:
Hold the carburetor in an upside down
position.
NOTE:
Slowly tilt the carburetor in the opposite
direction, then take the measurement
when the needle valve aligns with the float
arm.
If the carburetor is level, the weight of the
float will push in the needle valve, result-
ing in an incorrect measurement.
Measure the distance between the mating
surface of the float chamber and top of the
float using a vernier calipers.
NOTE:
The float arm should be resting on the nee-
dle valve, but not compressing the needle
valve.
If the float height is not within specifica-
tion, inspect the valve seat and needle
valve.
If either is worn, replace them both.
If both are fine, adjust the float height by
bending the float tab b on the float.
Recheck the float height.

ENGCARBURETOR
19. Install:
Carburetor breather hose 1
NOTE:
Install the carburetor breather hoses to the
carburetor so that the hoses do not bend near
where they are installed.
Accelerator pump timing adjustmet
Adjustment steps:
NOTE:
In order for the throttle valve height a to
achieve the specified value, tuck under the
throttle valve plate 1 the rod 2 etc. with the
same outer diameter as the specified value.
Throttle valve height:
1.50 mm (0.059 in)
Fully turn in the accelerator pump adjust-
ing screw 3.
Check that the link lever 4 has free play
b by pushing lightly on it.
Gradually turn out the adjusting screw
while moving the link lever until it has no
more free play.

Clamp 1
NOTE:
Install the projections a on the carburetor joint
between the clamp ends.
