WARNING:
Be sure to read “General Precautions” when working on the fuel system. Refer to FL-4, "
General Pre-
caution".
1. Remove RH rear wheel.
2. Remove fuel level sensor unit. Refer to FL-8, "

CAUTION:
 If fuel tank bottom face is not level, and remaining fuel level is high, tank position becomes
unstable, causing a danger. Drain fuel further than that in step 1 of the referenced procedure
until tank can be held by hand even if the balance is lost..
3. Remove muffler. Refer to EX-14, "
Removal and Installation"
4. Remove vehicle side insulator on upper center muffler and main muffler..

6. Disconnect fuel filler hose on fuel tank side.
CAUTION:
 If fuel tank bottom face is not level, and remaining fuel
level is high, tank position becomes unstable, causing a
danger. Drain fuel further than that in step 1 of the refer-
enced procedure until tank can be held by hand even if
the balance is lost..
7. Remove vent hose at RH rear wheelwell side.
8. Remove EVAP hose at front side of fuel tank.
 Disconnect the quick connector using the following procedure.
- Pinch quick connector square-parts with your fingers, and pull out
the quick connector by hand.
- If quick connector and tube on vehicle are stuck, push and pull
several times until they move, and pull out..
CAUTION:
 The tube can be removed when the tabs are completely
depressed. Do not twist it more than necessary.
 Do not use any tools to remove the quick connector.
 Keep resin tube away from heat. Be especially careful when
welding near the resin tube.
 Prevent acid liquid such as battery electrolyte, from getting
on resin tube.
 Do not bend or twist resin tube during installation and removal.
 To keep the connecting portion clean, free of foreign materi-
als and to avoid damage, cover them completely with plastic
bags or something similar.
 Do not insert plug to prevent damage to O-ring in quick con-
nector.

9. Support center of fuel tank (1) with transmission jack (A).
CAUTION:
Securely support the fuel tank with a suitable tool (B).
10. Remove fuel tank mounting straps.
11. Lower transmission jack carefully to remove fuel tank while sup-
porting it by hand. Perform the following works at the same time.
 Pull out vent hose from through hole of vehicle.
 Avoid interference with tank by pulling parking brake cable by
hand.
CAUTION:
Fuel tank may be in an unstable position because of the
shape of fuel tank bottom. Be sure to support tank securely.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
EVAP Hose
1. Check connections for damage or foreign material.
2. Align the mating side connection part with the center of shaft,
and insert connector straight until it clicks.
3. After connecting, pull out quick connector by hand. Make sure
connections are secure.
Installation of Vent Hose
 Push vent hose into through hole of vehicle.
 Insert vent hose into vent rubber hose, and secure it with clamp.
Installation of Fuel Tank Mounting Strap
 Install them in the proper position by referring to the identification stamp mark “R” and “L1” on the end.
Fuel Filler Hose
 Insert fuel filler hose to the length below.
 When installing clamp, do not allow clamp to contact the bulge (bump) part of the tube.
 Tighten the clamp of filler hose.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Use the following procedure to check for fuel leaks.
1. Turn ignition switch “ON” (without starting the engine), to check the connections for fuel leaks with the
electric fuel pump applying pressure to the fuel piping.
2. Start the engine and let it idle to check that there are no fuel leaks at the fuel system connections.

longer drops.
13. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.
14. Warm up engine, and check for sound of engine coolant flow while running engine from idle up to 3,000
rpm with heater temperature controller set at several position between “COOL” and “WARM”.
 Sound may be noticeable at heater unit.
15. Repeat step 14 three times.
16. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating steps 6 through 11 until engine coolant level
no longer drops.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Install reservoir tank if removed.

4. Run engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
5. Rev engine two or three times under no-load.
6. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
7. Drain water from the cooling system. Refer to CO-11, "
Changing Engine Coolant".
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.
RADIATOR
RADIATOR : Checking RadiatorINFOID:0000000001730858
Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator as follows.
 Be careful not to bend or damage radiator fins.
 When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all surrounding parts such as cooling fan, radiator shroud
and horns. Then tape harness and connectors to prevent water from entering.
1. Apply water by hose to the back side of the radiator core vertically downward.
2. Apply water again to all radiator core surface once per minute.
3. Stop washing if any stains no longer flow out from radiator.
4. Blow air into the back side of radiator core vertically downward.
 Use compressed air lower than 490 kPa (4.9 bar, 5 kg/cm
2, 71 psi) and keep distance more than 30 cm
(11.8 in).
5. Blow air again into all the radiator core surfaces once per minute until no water sprays out.

 Pull negative-pressure valve to open it, and make sure that it is
completely closed when released.
- Make sure that there is no dirt or damage on the valve seat of radi-
ator cap negative-pressure valve.
- Make sure that the valve operates properly in the opening and
closing conditions.
 Check radiator cap relief pressure using suitable tool.
- When connecting the radiator cap to the tester, apply water or
coolant to the cap seal surface.
- Replace the radiator cap if there is an abnormality in the negative-
pressure valve, or if the open-valve pressure is outside of the stan-
dard values.
 Replace radiator cap if there it does not comply to specifications to the above three checks.
CAUTION:
When installing radiator cap, thoroughly wipe out the radiator filler neck to remove any waxy residue
or foreign material.
