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.

CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
1. Stand the motorcycle on a level surface.

Place the motorcycle on a suitable stand.

Make sure the motorcycle is upright.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
3. Check:

engine oil level
The engine oil level should be between the
minimum level mark
a and maximum level
mark
b.
Below the minimum level mark
Add the
recommended engine oil to the proper level.

engine oil level
Below the minimum level mark
a
Add the
recommended engine oil to the proper level.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
When the engine is cold, the engine oil will
have a higher viscosity, causing the engine
oil pressure to increase. Therefore, be sure
to measure the engine oil pressure after
warming up the engine.
3. Remove:

CHECKING THE TIRES
The following procedure applies to both of the
tires.
1. Check:

tire pressure
Out of specification
Regulate.

The tire pressure should only be checked
and regulated when the tire temperature
equals the ambient air temperature.

The tire pressure and the suspension must
be adjusted according to the total weight
(including cargo, rider, passenger and ac-
cessories) and the anticipated riding
speed.

Operation of an overloaded motorcycle
could cause tire damage, an accident or an
injury.
NEVER OVERLOAD THE MOTORCYCLE.
