PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Before riding for break-in operation or practice, make sure the machine is in good operating condi-
tion.
Before using this machine, check the following points.
GENERAL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Item Routine Page
FuelCheck that a fresh gasoline is filled in the fuel tank. Check the
fuel line for leakage.P.1-12
Engine oilCheck that the oil level is correct. Check the crankcase for leak-
age.P.3-7 ~ 10
Gear shifter and clutchCheck that gears can be shifted correctly in order and that the
clutch operates smoothly.P.3-4
Throttle grip/housingCheck that the throttle grip operation and free play are correctly
adjusted. Lubricate the throttle grip and housing, if necessary.P.3-4 ~ 5
BrakesCheck the play of front and rear brake and effect of front and
rear brake.
Check fluid level and leakage. (TT-R125LW/TT-R125LWE only)P.3-15 ~ 20
Drive chainCheck chain slack and alignment. Check that the chain is lubri-
cated properly.P.3-21 ~ 22
WheelsCheck for excessive wear and tire pressure. Check for loose
spokes and have no excessive play.P.3-27 ~ 28
SteeringCheck that the handlebar can be turned smoothly and have no
excessive play.P.3-28 ~ 32
Front forks and rear shock
absorber assemblyCheck that they operate smoothly and there is no oil leakage. P.3-23 ~ 26
Cables (wires)Check that the clutch and throttle cables move smoothly. Check
that they are not caught when the handlebars are turned or
when the front forks travel up and down.—
Muffler Check that the muffler is tightly mounted and has no cracks. P.4-2
Sprocket Check that the driven sprocket tightening nut is not loose. P.3-20
Lubrication Check for smooth operation. Lubricate if necessary. P.3-33
Bolts and nuts Check the chassis and engine for loose bolts and nuts.—
Lead connectorsCheck that the CDI magneto, CDI unit, and ignition coil are con-
nected tightly.P.1-5

ADJOIL PRESSURE INSPECTION/PILOT AIR SCREW
ADJUSTMENT/ENGINE IDLING SPEED ADJUSTMENT
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.
T R..
Oil pressure check bolt:
7 Nm (0.7 m • kg, 5.1 ft • lb)
PILOT AIR SCREW ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust:
Pilot air screw 1
Adjustment steps:
NOTE:
To optimize the fuel flow at a smaller throttle
opening, each machine’s pilot air screw has
been individually set at the factory. Before
adjusting the pilot air screw, turn it in fully
and count the number of turns. Record this
number as the factory-set number of turns
out.
Screw in the pilot air screw until it is lightly
seated.
Back out by the specified number of turns.
Pilot air screw:
2-1/2 ~ 3-1/2 turns out (example)
ENGINE IDLING SPEED ADJUSTMENT
1. Start the engine and thoroughly warm it
up.
2. Attach:
Inductive tachometer
To spark plug lead.
3. Adjust:
Engine idling speed

HANDLING NOTE
At high altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is
lower. This can make the fuel mixture too rich,
leading to such problems as fouled.
Spark plugs and slow response at high engine
speeds. A special part, High Altitude Main Jet
1
#102.5 (620-1423A-71-A0) is available to
correct this.
