PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Before riding for break-in operation, practice or a race, make sure the machine is in good operating condition.
Before using this machine, check the following points.
GENERAL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Item Routine Page
CoolantCheck that coolant is filled up to the radiator cap.
Check the cooling system for leakage.P.3-21 ~ 29
FuelCheck that a fresh gasoline is filled in the fuel tank. Check the
fuel line for leakage.P.1-35
Engine oilCheck that the oil level is correct. Check the crankcase and
frame oil line for leakage.P.3-39 ~ 47
Gear shifter and clutchCheck that gears can be shifted correctly in order and that the
clutch operates smoothly.P.3-29 ~ 31
Throttle grip/HousingCheck that the throttle grip operation and free play are correctly
adjusted. Lubricate the throttle grip and housing, if necessary.P.3-31 ~ 33
Brakes Check the play of front brake and effect of front and rear brake. P.3-65 ~ 77
Drive chainCheck drive chain slack and alignment. Check that the drive
chain is lubricated properly.P.3-79 ~ 83
WheelsCheck for excessive wear and tire pressure. Check for loose
spokes and have no excessive play.P.3-99 ~ 101
SteeringCheck that the handlebar can be turned smoothly and have no
excessive play.P.3-101 ~ 103
Front forks and rear shock
absorberCheck that they operate smoothly and there is no oil leakage. P.3-85 ~ 97
Cables (wires)Check that the clutch and throttle cables move smoothly. Check
that they are not caught when the handlebars are turned or when
the front forks travel up and down.—
Exhaust pipeCheck that the exhaust pipe is tightly mounted and has no
cracks.P.4-7 ~ 11
Rear wheel sprocket Check that the rear wheel sprocket tightening bolt is not loose. P.3-77
Lubrication Check for smooth operation. Lubricate if necessary. P.3-105
Bolts and nuts Check the chassis and engine for loose bolts and nuts. P.1-45
Lead connectorsCheck that the AC magneto, CDI unit, and ignition coil are
connected tightly.P.1-9
SettingsIs the machine set suitably for the condition of the racing course
and weather or by taking into account the results of test runs
before racing? Are inspection and maintenance completely
done?P.7-1 ~ 42

EC361012BRAKE SYSTEM AIR BLEEDING
WARNING
Bleed the brake system if:
The system has been disassem-
bled.
A brake hose has been loosened
or removed.
The brake fluid is very low.
The brake operation is faulty.
A dangerous loss of braking per-
formance may occur if the brake
system is not properly bled.
1. Remove:
Brake master cylinder cap
Diaphragm
Reservoir float (front brake)
Protector (rear brake)
2. Bleed:
Brake fluid
ÈFront
ÉRear
Air bleeding steps:
a. Add proper brake fluid to the
reservoir.
b. Install the diaphragm. Be care-
ful not to spill any fluid or allow
the reservoir to overflow.
c. Connect the clear plastic tube
2 tightly to the caliper bleed
screw
1.
d. Place the other end of the tube
into a container.
e. Slowly apply the brake lever or
pedal several times.
f. Pull the lever in or push down
on the pedal. Hold the lever or
pedal in position.
g. Loosen the bleed screw and
allow the lever or pedal to
travel towards its limit.
h. Tighten the bleed screw when
the lever or pedal limit has
been reached; then release the
lever or pedal.
T R..
Bleed screw:
6 Nm
(0.6 m  kg, 4.3 ft  lb)
i. Repeat steps (e) to (h) until of
the air bubbles have been
removed from the system.

PURGE D’AIR DU CIRCUIT DE
FREINAGE
AVERTISSEMENT
Purger l’air du circuit de freinage si:
Le circuit a été démonté.
Une durit de frein a été desserrée ou
déposée.
Le niveau du liquide de frein est très
bas.
Le frein fonctionne mal.
Si le circuit de freinage n’est pas cor-
rectement purgé, il peut s’ensuivre
une dangereuse perte d’efficacité du
freinage.
1. Déposer:
Couvercle de maître-cylindre de
frein
Diaphragme
Flotteur du réservoir (frein avant)
Protection (frein arrière)
2. Purger:
Liquide de frein
È

É
Arrière
Étapes de la purge de l’air:
a. Ajouter le liquide de frein adéquat
dans le réservoir.
b. Poser le diaphragme. Veiller à ne
pas renverser de liquide et à ne pas
faire déborder le réservoir.
c. Connecter hermétiquement le
tuyau en plastique transparent 2 à
la vis de purge 1 de l’étrier.
d. Placer l’autre extrémité du tuyau
dans un récipient.
e. Actionner lentement et plusieurs
fois le levier ou la pédale de frein.
f. Tirer le levier ou enfoncer la
pédale. Maintenir le levier ou la
pédale dans leur position respec-
tive.
g. Desserrer la vis de purge et laisser
le levier ou la pédale parvenir en
fin de course.
h. Serrer la vis de purge quand le
levier ou la pédale sont arrivés en
fin de course, puis relâcher le
levier ou la pédale.

NOTE:If bleeding is difficult, it may be
necessary to let the brake fluid sys-
tem stabilize for a few hours.
Repeat the bleeding procedure
when the tiny bubbles in the sys-
tem have disappeared.
j. Add brake fluid to the level line
on the reservoir.
