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.
EC321000
GENERAL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Item Routine Page
Coolant Check that coolant is filled up to the radiator filler cap.
Check the cooling system for leakage.P3-5~9
Fuel Check that a fresh mixture of oil and gasoline is filled in
the fuel tank. Check the fuel line for leakage.P1-12
Transmission oil Check that the oil level is correct. Check the crankcase
for leakage.P3-12~14
Gear shifter and clutch Check that gears can be shifted correctly in order and
that the clutch operates smoothly.P3-9
Throttle grip/Housing Check that the throttle grip operation and free play
are correctly adjusted. Lubricate the throttle grip and P3-10~11
housing, if necessary.
Brakes Check the play of front brake and effect of front and
rear brake.P3-17~23
Chain Check chain slack and alignment. Check that the chain
is lubricated properly.P3-24~26
Wheels Check for excessive wear and tire pressure. Check for
loose spokes and have no excessive play.P3-34~35
Steering Check that the handlebar can be turned smoothly and
have no excessive play.P3-35~36
Front forks and Check that they operate smoothly and there is no oil
rear shock absorber leakage.P3-26~33
Cables (wires) Check that the clutch and throttle cables move smooth-
ly. Check that they are not caught when the handlebars —
are turned or when the front forks travel up and down.
Muffler Check that the muffler is tightly mounted and has no
cracks.P3-15~16
Sprocket Check that the driven sprocket tightening bolt is
not loose.P3-24
Lubrication Check for smooth operation. Lubricate if necessary. P3-37
Bolts and nuts Check the chassis and engine for loose bolts and nuts. P1-16
Lead connectors Check that the CDI magneto, CDI unit, and ignition coil
are connected tightly.P1-6
Settings Is the machine set suitably for the condition of the
racing course and weather or by taking into account the
P7-1~23
results of test runs before racing? Are inspection and
maintenance completely done?

TIRE PRESSURE CHECK/SPOKES INSPECTION AND
TIGHTENING/WHEEL INSPECTIONINSP
ADJ
EC36Q001
TIRE PRESSURE CHECK
1. Measure:
9Tire pressure
Out of specification Adjust.
NOTE:
9Check the tire while it is cold.
9Loose bead stoppers allow the tire to slip off its
position on the rim when the tire pressure is
low.
9A tilted tire valve stem indicates that the tire
slips off its position on the rim.
9If the tire valve stem is found tilted, the tire is
considered to be slipping off its position.
Correct the tire position.
EC36S002
SPOKES INSPECTION AND TIGHTENING
1. Inspect:
9Spokes 1
Bend/Damage Replace.
Loose spoke Retighten.
2. Tighten:
9Spokes
NOTE:
Be sure to retighten these spokes before and af-
ter break-in. After a practice or a race check
spokes for looseness.
EC36T000
WHEEL INSPECTION
1. Inspect:
9Wheel runout
Elevate the wheel and turn it.
Abnormal runout Replace.
Standard tire pressure:
100 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm
2, 15 psi)
3 Nm (0.3 m•kg, 2.2 ft•lb)

T ire pressure
Tire pressure should be adjust to suit the road
surface condition of the circuit.
9Under a rainy, muddy, sandy, or slippery condi-
tion, the tire pressure should be lower for a larg-
er area of contact with the road surface.
9Under a stony or hard road condition, the tire
pressure should be higher to prevent a flat tire.
