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.

Out of specification → Adjust.
NOTE:
Be sure to install the spring guide 2 when
checking the oil level.
WARNING
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.

TUNSETTING
Change of the heat range of spark plugs
Judging from the discoloration of spark plugs,
if they are found improper, it can be corrected
by the following two methods; changing carbu-
retor settings and changing the heat range of
spark plug.

In principle, it is advisable to first use spark
plugs of standard heat range, and judging
from the discoloration of spark plugs, adjust
carburetor settings.

If the calibration No. of the main jet must be
changed by ±30, it is advisable to change the
heat range of spark plugs and newly select
the proper main jet.
NOTE:

When checking the discoloration of spark
plugs, be sure to stop the engine immedi-
ately after a run and check.

Avoid racing.

When changing the heat range of spark
plugs, never attempt to change it more than
±1 rank.

When using a spark plug other than stan-
dard, check its heat range against the stan-
dard and check that it is a resistance type.

Note that even if the discoloration seems
proper, it may slightly vary with the spark
plug maker and oil in use.Standard spark plugBR10EG/NGK
