C Fold back the clamp and secure
it after passing the lead through
the clamp.
D To the EXUP servo motor
E Pass the coolant reservoir tank
drain hose and fuel tank drain
hose through the clamp from the
outer side of the water pump inlet
pipe after routing it behind the
water pump breather hose.
The lengths of two hose ends are
allowed to be random. Any direc-
tion of cut edges can be ac-
cepted. (Only for the fuel tank
drain hose)
F Clamp the fuel tank drain hose
and fuel tank breather hose.A Clamp the leads so that they are
positioned inner of the vehicle
than the washer position after
routing them between the frame
and radiator stay. Align the clamp
position with the taping sections
of leads. Point the tip of the clamp
(surplus section) to the down
front side of the vehicle.
What the clamp fastens at this
stage are the handlebar switch
and main switch leads.
B Pass the main switch lead and
left handlebar switch lead be-
tween the frame and the heat
protector.

K Pass the water hose lower side
of the thermostat, and between
the ground lead and the neutral
switch.
L Install the leads so that the en-
gine ground lead is positioned
lower and the battery negative
lead to be upper. Install the pro-
trusion of each lead to be above
the vehicle.
M Route the crankshaft position
sensor lead under the wire har-
ness.
N To the fuel pump
O Clamp the wire harness winding
in and insert it to the frame hole.A Pass the wire harness through
the clamp inserted to the radiator
stay.
B To the headlight lead
C Clamp the lead between three
protrusions of the pipe (the first
and second parts from the ve-
hicle front). Point the tip of the
clamp (excessive part) to the in-
side of the vehicle.

E To the engine
F Clamp the lead between three
protrusions of the pipe (the in-

hicle.
H All hoses and leads should be
routed over the vehicle’s upper
side above the heat protector.
I To the starter motor
J Fasten the wire harness, clank
shaft position sensor lead, rear
brake light switch lead and
speed sensor lead with a clamp.
Then, point the tip of the clamp
(cut the tip of the clamp leaving 2
to 4 mm (0.08 to 0.16 in).) to the
inside of the vehicle.

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.

A hot radiator is under pressure. Therefore,
do not remove the radiator cap when the en-
gine is hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may
be blown out, which could cause serious in-
jury. When the engine has cooled, open the
radiator cap as follows:
Place a thick rag or a towel over the radiator
cap and slowly turn the radiator cap coun-
terclockwise toward the detent to allow any
residual pressure to escape. When the his-
sing sound has stopped, press down on the
radiator cap and turn it counterclockwise to
remove.
The following procedure applies to all of the
coolant drain bolts and copper washers.
6. Remove:

coolant drain bolts
