Install the brake master cylinder holder with
the “UP” mark
a facing up.
Align the end of the brake master cylinder
holder with the punch mark
b on the right han-
dlebar.
First, tighten the upper bolt, then the lower bolt.
There should be 2 2.5 mm (0.08 0.10 in)
for clearance between the right handlebar
switch and the brake master cylinder holder.

WARNING
CAUTION:
Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.
Refill with the same type of brake fluid that
is already in the system. Mixing brake
fluids may result in a harmful chemical
reaction, leading to poor brake perfor-
mance.
When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake fluid reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the brake fluid and could cause vapor lock.
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean
up any spilt brake fluid immediately.
4. Bleed:
brake system
Refer to “BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC
BRAKE SYSTEM” in chapter 3.
5. Check:
brake fluid level
Below the minimum level mark
a Add the
recommended brake fluid to the proper level.
Refer to “CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL” in chapter 3.
6. Adjust:
rear brake light operation timing
Refer to “ADJUSTING THE REAR BRAKE
LIGHT SWITCH” in chapter 3.

VALVES AND VALVE SPRINGSENG
CAUTION:
NOTE:
a. Apply a coarse lapping compound a to the
valve face.
Do not let the lapping compound enter the
gap between the valve stem and the valve
guide.
b. Apply molybdenum disulfide oil onto the
valve stem.
c. Install the valve into the cylinder head.
d. Turn the valve until the valve face and valve
seat are evenly polished, then clean off all of
the lapping compound.
For the best lapping results, lightly tap the valve
seat while rotating the valve back and forth be-
tween your hands.
e. Apply a fine lapping compound to the valve
face and repeat the above steps.
f. After every lapping procedure, be sure to
clean off all of the lapping compound from
the valve face and valve seat.
g. Apply Mechanic’s blueing dye (Dykem) onto
the valve face.
h. Install the valve into the cylinder head.
i. Press the valve through the valve guide and
onto the valve seat to make a clear impres-
sion.
j. Measure the valve seat width
a again. If the
valve seat width is out of specification, reface
and lap the valve seat.

CHECKING THE VALVE SPRINGS
The following procedure applies to all of the
valve springs.
1. Measure:

Out of specification Replace the valve
spring.

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
1
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.
