steps 2 to 12.
14. Compress the front fork fully.
15. Fill:

Be sure to use recommended fork oil. If
other oils are used, they may have an ex-
cessively adverse effect on the front fork
performance.
9Never allow foreign materials to enter the
front fork.
16. After filling, pump the damper rod 1slowly
up and down more than 10 times to distrib-
ute the fork oil.
17. Fill:
9Front fork oil
Until outer tube top surface with recom-
mended fork oil once more.
18. After filling, pump the outer tube 1slowly
up and down (about 200 mm (7.9 in) stroke)
to distribute the fork oil once more.
NOTE:
Be careful not to excessive full stroke. A stroke
of 200 mm (7.9 in) or more will cause air to en-
ter. In this case, repeat the steps 15 to 18.
Recommended oil:
Suspension oil “01”

CHASFRONT FORK
19. Wait ten minutes until the air bubbles have
been removed from the front fork, and the
oil has dispense evenly in system before
setting recommended oil level.
NOTE:
Fill with the fork oil up to the top end of the outer
tube, or the fork oil will not spread over to every
part of the front forks, thus making it impossible
to obtain the correct level.
Be sure to fill with the fork oil up to the top of the
outer tube and bleed the front forks.
20. Measure:
9Oil level (left and right) a
Out of specification  Adjust.
NOTE:
Be sure to install the spring guide 2when
checking the oil level.
w
Never fail to make the oil level adjustment
between the maximum and minimum level
and always adjust each front fork to the
same setting. Uneven adjustment can
cause poor handling and loss of stability.
Standard oil level:
135 mm (5.31 in)
Extent of adjustment:
80~150 mm (3.15~5.91 in)

Carburetor setting
9The role of fuel is to cool the engine, and in the
case of a 2-stroke engine, to lubricate the
engine in addition to power generation.
Accordingly, if a mixture of air and fuel is too
lean, abnormal combustion will occur, and
engine seizure may result. If the mixture is too
rich, spark plugs will get wet with oil, thus mak-
ing it impossible to bring the engine into full play
or if the worst comes to the worst, the engine
may stall.
9The richness of the air-fuel mixture required for
the engine will vary with atmospheric conditions
of the day and therefore, the settings of the car-
buretor must be properly suited to the atmos-
pheric conditions (air pressure, humidity and
temperature).
9Finally, the rider himself must make a test-run
and check his machine for conditions (pick-up
of engine speed, road surface conditions) and
for the discoloration of the spark plug(s). After
taking these into consideration, he must select
the best possible carburetor settings.
It is advisable to make a note of settings,
atmospheric conditions, road surface condition,
lap-time, etc. so that the memorandum can be
used as a reference useful for future.
EC712000
Atmospheric conditions and carburetor
setting
The reason for the above tendency is that the
richness or leanness of a fuel mixture depends
on the density of the air (i.e. the concentration of
oxygen in it).
