OIL PRESSURE INSPECTION
1. Check:
Oil pressure
Checking steps:
Slightly loosen the oil pressure
check bolt
1.
Start the engine and keep it
idling until oil starts to seep from
the oil pressure check bolt. If no
oil comes out after one minute,
turn the engine off so it will not
seize.
Check oil passages and oil
pump for damage or leakage.
Start the engine after solving
the problem(s) and recheck the
oil pressure.
Tighten the oil pressure check
bolt.

PILOT SCREW ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust:
Pilot screw
1
Adjustment steps:
NOTE:To optimize the fuel flow at a
smaller throttle opening, each
machine’s pilot screw has been
individually set at the factory.
Before adjusting the pilot screw,
turn it in fully and count the num-
ber of turns. Record this number
as the factory-set number of turns
out.
Turn in the pilot screw until it is
lightly seated.
Turn out the pilot screw by the
factory-set number of turns.
Pilot screw:
1-3/4 turns out

Pression d’huile
REGLAGE DE LA VIS DE
RALENTI
1. Régler:
Vis de ralenti 1 Etapes du contrôle:
Desserrer légèrement le boulon de
contrôle de la pression d’huile 1.
Lancer le moteur et le laisser tour-
ner au ralenti jusqu’à ce que l’huile
commence à suinter par le boulon
de contrôle de la pression d’huile.
Si l’huile ne s’écoule toujours pas
après une minute, couper immédia-
tement le moteur afin qu’il ne se
grippe pas.
Vérifier que les passages d’huile et
la pompe à huile ne sont pas
endommagés ou ne présentent pas
de fuites.
Après avoir résolu le(s) pro-
blème(s), démarrer le moteur et
contrôler à nouveau la pression
d’huile.
Serrer le boulon de contrôle de la
pression d’huile.

Étapes du réglage:
N.B.:
Pour optimaliser le débit de carburant
à plus faible régime, la vis de ralenti
de chaque moto a été réglée indivi-
duellement en usine. Avant de régler
la vis de ralenti, la serrer à fond en
comptant le nombre de tours. Enre-
gistrer ce nombre comme étant le
nombre de tours de desserrage réglé
en usine.
Visser la vis de ralenti jusqu’à ce
qu’elle touche légèrement son
siège.

VALVE CLEARANCE INSPECTION
AND ADJUSTMENT
NOTE:The valve clearance should be
adjusted when the engine is cool to
the touch.
The piston must be at Top Dead
Center (T.D.C.) on compression
stroke to check or adjust the valve
clearance.

Étapes du réglage:
Régler la vis de ralenti.
Se reporter à la section
“REGLAGE DE LA VIS DE
RALENTI”.
Tourner la vis de butée de papillon
des gaz 1 jusqu’à obtention de la
vitesse de ralenti spécifiée.
N.B.:
A l’aide d’un compte-tours moteur
numérique pour réglage du ralenti,
déterminer le régime de ralenti en
approchant le capteur c du compte-
tours de la bobine d’allumage 2.
Pour augmenter le régime de
ralenti → Serrer la vis de butée
de papillon des gaz 1 dans le
sens a.
Pour diminuer le régime de ralenti
→ Tourner la vis de butée de
papillon des gaz 1 dans le sens
b.
Régime de ralenti:

INSPECTION ET REGLAGE DU
JEU AUX SOUPAPES
N.B.:
Le jeu aux soupapes doit être réglé
quand le moteur est froid au toucher.
Le piston doit être au point mort haut
(PMH) de la course de compression
pour permettre le contrôle ou le
réglage du jeux aux soupapes.
