IGNITION SYSTEM
SPARK GAP TEST
1. Disconnect the ignition coil from spark plug.
2. Remove the ignition coil cap.
3. Connect the dynamic spark tester
"1" (ignition checker "2") as
shown.
• Ignition coil "3"
• Spark plug "4"
A. For USA and CDN
B. Except for USA and CDN
4. Kick the kickstarter crank.
5. Check the ignition spark gap.
6. Start engine, and increase spark gap until misfire occurs. (for USA
and CDN only)
CHECKING THE COUPLERS,
LEADS AND IGNITION COIL
CONNECTION
1. Check: • Couplers and leads connection
Rust/dust/looseness/short-circuit
→ Repair or replace.
• Ignition coil and spark plug as
they are fitted
Push in the ignition coil until it
closely contacts the spark plug
hole in the cylinder head cover. CHECKING THE ENGINE STOP
SWITCH
1. Inspect:
• Engine stop switch conduction
Not conductive while it is pushed →
Replace.
Conductive while it is freed →Re-
place.
Set the tester selection position to " Ω
× 1".
2. Inspect:
• Rubber part "a"Tears/damage → Replace.
CHECKING THE MAIN SWITCH
1. Inspect: • Main switch conduction
Not conductive while the main switch
is moved to "ON" →Replace.
Conductive while the main switch is
moved to "OFF" →Replace.
Set the tester selection position to
"Ω×1".
2. Inspect:
• Main switch indicator lightUse 12 V battery.
Indicator light does not come on →
Replace.
3. Inspect:
• Rubber part "a"Tears/damage →Replace.
CHECKING THE IGNITION COIL
1. Remove the ignition coil cap.
2. Inspect: • Primary coil resistanceOut of specification →Replace.
Minimum spark gap:
6.0 mm (0.24 in)

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR SYSTEM
HANDLING NOTE
Do not loosen the screw (throttle
position sensor) "1" except when
changing the throttle position sen-
sor due to failure because it will
cause a drop in engine perfor-
mance.
CHECKING THE COUPLERS AND
LEADS CONNECTION
1. Check:• Couplers and leads connectionRust/dust/looseness/short-circuit
→ Repair or replace.
CHECKING THE THROTTLE
POSITION SENSOR COIL
1. Inspect: • Throttle position sensor coil resis-
tance
Out of specification →Replace.
2. Loosen: • Throttle stop screw "1"
Turn out the throttle stop screw until
the throttle shaft is in the full close po-
sition.
3. Inspect:• Throttle position sensor coil vari-able resistance
Check that the resistance in in-
creased as the throttle grip is
moved from the full close position
to the full open position.
Out of specification →Replace.
CHANGING AND ADJUSTING THE
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
1. Remove: • Throttle position sensor coupler
•Carburetor
2. Remove: • Screw (throttle position sensor) "1"
• Throttle position sensor "2"
Loosen the screw (throttle position
sensor) using the T25 bit.
3. Replace: • Throttle position sensor 4. Install:
• Throttle position sensor "1"
• Screw (throttle position sensor) "2"
• Align the slot "a" in the throttle posi-
tion sensor with the projection "b"
on the carburetor.
• Temporarily tighten the screw
(throttle position sensor).
5. Install:•Carburetor
• Throttle position sensor coupler
6. Adjust: • Engine idling speed
Refer to "ADJUSTING THE EN-
GINE IDLING SPEED" section in
the CHAPTER 3.
7. Insert the thin electric conductors "2" (lead) into the throttle position
sensor coupler "1", as shown, and
connect the tester to them.
• Do not insert the electric conduc-tors more than required because
it may reduce the waterproof
function of the coupler.
• Make sure that a short-circuit does not develop between the
terminals because it may cause
damage to electrical compo-
nents.
8. Start the engine.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR SYSTEM
9. Adjust:• Throttle position sensor output voltage
Adjustment steps:
a. Adjust the installation angle of the throttle position sensor "1" to ob-
tain the specified output voltage.
Measure the output voltage accurate-
ly with a digital electronic voltmeter
that gives an easy reading of a small
voltage.
10. Put the aligning marks "a" on the throttle position sensor and car-
buretor.
11. Stop the engine.
12. Remove the carburetor.
13. Tighten: • Screw (throttle position sensor) "1"
Tighten the screw (throttle position
sensor) using the T25 bit.
14. Install the carburetor. CHECKING THE THROTTLE
POSITION SENSOR INPUT
VOLTAGE
1. Disconnect the throttle position
sensor coupler.
2. Start the engine.
3. Inspect: • Throttle position sensor input volt-age
