COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap
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.
CAUTION:
Hard water or salt water is harmful to the
engine parts. You may use distilled water, if
you can’t get soft water.

DRIVE CHAIN SUPPORT INSPECTION
1. Inspect:
Drive chain support wear limit

Refer to “SWINGARM” section in the
CHAPTER 5. Drive chain slack adjustment steps:
Loosen the axle nut 1 and locknuts 2.
Adjust chain slack by turning the adjusters 3.
To tighten
→ Turn adjuster
3 clockwise.
To loosen
→ Turn adjuster
3 counter-
clockwise and push wheel forward.
Turn each adjuster exactly the same
amount to maintain correct axle alignment.
(There are marks a on each side of chain
puller alignment.)
NOTE:
Turn the adjuster so that the chain is in line
with the sprocket, as viewed from the rear.
CAUTION:
Too small chain slack will overload the
engine and other vital parts; keep the
slack within the specified limits.
Tighten the axle nut while pushing down
the drive chain.

3. Rotate the rotor 1 until the piston reaches
top dead center (TDC). When this hap-
pens, 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.

HANDLING NOTE
WARNING
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
injury.
When the engine has cooled, open the radi-
ator cap by the following procedure:
Place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radi-
ator cap, slowly rotate the cap counter-
clockwise to the detent. This procedure
allows any residual pressure to escape.
When the hissing sound has stopped,
press down on the cap while turning coun-
terclockwise and remove it.
