Do not remove the radiator cap 1 1
, drain
bolt and hoses when the engine and radia-
tor are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam
may be blown out under pressure, which
could cause serious injury.
When the engine has cooled, place a thick
towel over the radiator cap, slowly rotate
the cap counterclockwise to the detent.
This procedure allows any residual pres-
sure to escape. When the hissing sound
has stopped, press down on the cap while
turning counterclockwise and remove it.
cC
Hard water or salt water is harmful to the
engine parts. You may use distilled water,
if you can’t get soft water.
1. Place the machine on a level place, and
hold it in an upright position.
2. Remove:
9Radiator cap
3. Check:

FRONT FORK INSPECTION
1. Inspect:

Unsmooth action/oil leakage Repair or
replace.
Drive chain slack adjustment steps:
9Loosen the axle nut 1and locknuts 2.
9Adjust chain slack by turning the
adjusters 3.
To tighten Turn adjuster 3 3
counter-
clockwise.
To loosen Turn adjuster 3 3
clockwise
and push wheel forward.
9Turn each adjuster exactly the same amount
to maintain correct axle alignment. (There are
marks aon each side of chain puller align-
ment.)
NOTE:
Turn the adjuster so that the chain is in line
with the sprocket, as viewed from the rear.
cC
Too small chain slack will overload the
engine and other vital parts; keep the
slack within the specified limits.
9Tighten the axle nut while pushing down the

3. Rotate the magneto rotor 1until the
piston reaches top dead center (TDC).
When this happens, the needle on the dial
gauge will stop and reverse directions even
though the rotor is being turned in the same
direction.
4. Set the dial gauge to zero at TDC.
5. From TDC, rotate the rotor clockwise
until the dial gauge indicates that the
piston is at a specified distance from TDC.
6. Check:

HANDLING NOTE
w
Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot
fluid and steam may be blown out under
pressure, which could cause serious in-
jury.
When the engine has cooled, open the ra-
diator cap by the following procedure:
Place a thick rag, like a towel, over the
radiator cap, slowly rotate the cap counter-
clockwise to the detent. This procedure al-
lows any residual pressure to escape.
When the hissing sound has stopped,
press down on the cap while turning coun-
terclockwise and remove it.
