PERIODIC CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS
INTRODUCTION
This chapter includes all information necessary to perform recommended checks and adjustments. If
followed, these preventive maintenance procedures will ensure more reliable vehicle operation, a
longer service life and reduce the need for costly overhaul work. This information applies to vehicles
already in service as well as to new vehicles that are being prepared for sale, All service technicians
should be familiar with this entire chapter.

NOTE:
EAS00045
ENGINE
ADJUSTING THE VALVE CLEARANCE
The following procedure applies to all of the
valves.
Valve clearance adjustment should be made
on a cold engine, at room temperature.
When the valve clearance is to be measured or
adjusted, the piston must be at top dead center
(TDC) on the compression stroke.
1. Remove
rider seat
Refer to “SEATS”.
fuel tank
Refer to “FUEL TANK”.
air filter case
Refer to “AIR FILTER CASE”.
bottom cowlings
side cowlings
Refer to “COWLINGS”.
throttle body assembly
Refer to “THROTTLE BODIES” in chapter 7.
air cut-off valve
Refer to “AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM” in
chapter 7.

CHECKING THE SPARK PLUGS
The following procedure applies to all of the
spark plugs.
1. Remove:
side cowlings
bottom cowlings
Refer to “COWLINGS”.
2. Remove:
radiator upper bolts
radiator lower bolt
Refer to “RADIATOR” in chapter 6.
3. Remove:
ignition coils
spark plugs
Before removing the spark plugs, blow away
any dirt accumulated in the spark plug wells
with compressed air to prevent it from fal-
ling into the cylinders.
4. Check:
spark plug type
Incorrect Change.

MEASURING THE COMPRESSION
PRESSURE
The following procedure applies to all of the cyl-
inders.
Insufficient compression pressure will result in a
loss of performance.
1. Measure:
valve clearance
Out of specification Adjust.
Refer to “ADJUSTING THE VALVE CLEAR-
ANCE”.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
3. Remove:
ignition coils
spark plugs
Before removing the spark plugs, use com-
pressed air to blow away any dirt accumu-
lated in the spark plug wells to prevent it
from falling into the cylinders.

the spark plug.
IGNITION SYSTEMELEC
NOTE:
YESNO
1. Main and ignition fuses
Check the main and ignition fuses for conti-
nuity.
Refer to “CHECKING THE FUSES” in chap-
ter 3.
Are the main and ignition fuses OK?
Replace the fuse(s).
