ing the swingarm from side to side.
c. If the swingarm side play is out of specifica-
tion, check the spacers, bearings, washers,
and dust covers.
Swingarm side play
(at the end of the swingarm)
1.0 mm (0.04 in)
d. Check the swingarm vertical movement
B
by moving the swingarm up and down.
If swingarm vertical movement is not smooth

VALVES AND VALVE SPRINGSENG
CAUTION:
NOTE: 5. To secure the valve cotters onto the valve
stem, lightly tap the valve tip with a soft-face
hammer.
Hitting the valve tip with excessive force
could damage the valve.
6. Install:
valve pad

valve lifter 2
Lubricate the valve lifter and valve pad with
molybdenum disulfide oil.
The valve lifter must move smoothly when ro-
tated with a finger.
Each valve lifter and valve pad must be rein-
stalled in its original position.

ECU’S SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
The ECU is equipped with a self-diagnostic function in order to ensure that the engine control system is
operating normally. If this function detects a malfunction in the system, it immediately operates the en-
gine under substitute characteristics and illuminates the engine trouble warning light to alert the rider
that a malfunction has occurred in the system. Once a malfunction has been detected, a fault code is
stored in the memory of the ECU.
To inform the rider that the fuel injection system is not functioning, the engine trouble warning light
flashes when the start switch is being pushed to start the engine.
If a malfunction is detected in the system by the self-diagnostic function, this mode provides an ap-
propriate substitute characteristic operation, and alerts the rider of the detected malfunction by illumi-
nating an engine trouble warning light.
After the engine has been stopped, the fault code number appears from the lowest value in order of
precedence on the LCD meter. Once a fault code has been displayed, it remains stored in the memory
of the ECU until it is deleted.

Checking for a defective engine trouble warning light bulb
The engine trouble warning light comes on for 1.4 seconds after the main switch has been turned “ON”
and when the start switch is being pushed. If the warning light does not come on under these condi-
tions, the warning light bulb may be defective.

FUEL INJECTION SYSTEMFI
SUBSTITUTE CHARACTERISTICS OPERATION CONTROL (FAIL-SAFE ACTION)
If the ECU detects an abnormal signal from a sensor while the vehicle is being driven, the ECU illumi-
nates the engine trouble warning light and provides the engine with alternate operating instructions
that are appropriate for the type of malfunction.
When an abnormal signal is received from a sensor, the ECU processes the specified values that are
programmed for each sensor in order to provide the engine with alternate operating instructions that
enable the engine to continue to operate or stop operating, depending on the conditions.
The ECU takes fail-safe actions in two ways: one in which the sensor output is set to a prescribed value,
and the other in which the ECU directly operates an actuator. Details on the fail-safe actions are given
in the table below.
