GENERAL TIGHTENING TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS
This chart specifies tightening torques for stan-
dard fasteners with a standard ISO thread
pitch. Tightening torque specifications for spe-
cial components or assemblies are provided
for each chapter of this manual. To avoid war-
page, tighten multi-fastener assemblies in a
crisscross pattern and progressive stages until
the specified tightening torque is reached. Un-
less otherwise specified, tightening torque
specifications require clean, dry threads. Com-
ponents should be at room temperature.

WARNING
EAS00162
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.

NOTE:
6. Install:
brake caliper (left and right)
Make sure that there is enough space between
the brake pads before installing the brake cali-
pers onto the brake discs.
Make sure the brake hose is routed properly.

ADJUSTING THE FRONT WHEEL STATIC
BALANCE
After replacing the tire, wheel or both, the front
wheel static balance should be adjusted.
Adjust the front wheel static balance with the
brake discs installed.
1. Remove:
balancing weight(s)
2. Find:
front wheel’s heavy spot
Place the front wheel on a suitable balancing
stand.
a. Spin the front wheel.
b. When the front wheel stops, put an “X
1” mark
at the bottom of the wheel.
c. Turn the front wheel 90 so that the “X
1” mark
is positioned as shown.
d. Release the front wheel.
e. When the wheel stops, put an “X
2” mark at
the bottom of the wheel.
f. Repeat steps (d) through (f) several times
until all the marks come to rest at the same
spot.
g. The spot where all the marks come to rest is
the front wheel’s heavy spot “X”.

FRONT WHEEL AND BRAKE DISCSCHAS
NOTE:
3. Adjust:
front wheel static balance
a. Install a balancing weight
1 onto the rim ex-
actly opposite the heavy spot “X”.
Start with the lightest weight.
b. Turn the front wheel 90 so that the heavy
spot is positioned as shown.
c. If the heavy spot does not stay in that posi-
tion, install a heavier weight.
d. Repeat steps (b) and (c) until the front wheel
is balanced.
4. Check:
front wheel static balance
a. Turn the front wheel and make sure it stays at
each position shown.
b. If the front wheel does not remain stationary
at all of the positions, rebalance it.

Prior to installing the timing chain tensioner rod,
drain the engine oil from the timing chain ten-
sioner housing.
a. Install the timing chain tensioner spring and
timing chain tensioner rod
1.
b. Squeeze the timing chain tensioner clip

When the timing chain tensioner rod
3 is
pushed while holding the grip of the timing chain
tensioner clip
2, make sure not to release the
timing chain tensioner rod
3 before releasing
the timing chain tensioner clip
2. (Otherwise,
the timing chain tensioner rod
3 may run off.)
c. Hook the clip

rod
3.
Hook the timing chain tensioner rod pin
5 to the
center of the clip
4. After the installation, check
that the clip
4 can come off by its own weight by
pushing the timing chain tensioner rod
3 at the
position of installation.
