CABLE ROUTING DIAGRAM
D. Install the ignition coil, side core
and ground lead together to the
frame. Take care to fasten the
ground lead so that its terminal
is within the indicated range.
E. Clamp the throttle cable and
high tension cord to the frame.
F. Clamp the clutch cable to the left
engine bracket. Clamp the
clutch cable below the position-
ing grommet.
G. Pass the air vent hose back of
the throttle cable.
H. Pass the air vent hose, overflow
hose and crankcase breather
hose between the frame and
connecting rod.
I. Pass the radiator breather hose
and YPVS breather hose out-
side the engine bracket and in-
side the down tube. Then pass
the radiator breather hose inside
the YPVS breather hose.
J. Clamp the CDI magneto lead,
radiator breather hose and
YPVS breather hose to the
frame.
K. Clamp to the frame the CDI
magneto lead and radiator
breather hose. Take care to
clamp them above the projection
on the frame.
L. Locate the clamp ends in the ar-
rowed range.
M. Pass the air vent hose, overflow
hose and crankcase breather
hose so that they do not contact
the rear shock absorber.
N. Bring the connector cover into
contact with the coupler.

A. Pass the high tension cord to the
left of the radiator hose.
B. Using a plastic locking tie, clamp
the "ENGINE STOP" button
lead, ignition coil lead and CDI
magneto lead together with the
clamp ends backward and then
cut off the tie end.C. Clamp to the frame the throttle
cable, clutch cable, ignition coil
lead and "ENGINE STOP" but-
ton lead. In so doing, clamp the
ignition coil lead and "ENGINE
STOP" button lead at their pro-
tecting tubes. Tighten the clamp
so that the "ENGINE STOP" but-
ton lead is not pulled when the
handlebar is turned to the right
and left.

PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
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.
GENERAL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Item Routine Page
CoolantCheck that coolant is filled up to the radiator cap. Check the cool-
ing system for leakage.P. 3-6 – 7
FuelCheck that a fresh mixture of oil and gasoline is filled in the fuel
tank. Check the fuel line for leakage.P. 1-12
Transmission oilCheck that the oil level is correct. Check the crankcase for leak-
age.P. 3-8 – 9
Gear shifter and clutchCheck that gears can be shifted correctly in order and that the
clutch operates smoothly.P. 3-7
Throttle grip/HousingCheck that the throttle grip operation and free play are correctly
adjusted. Lubricate the throttle grip and housing, if necessary.P. 3-7 – 8
Brakes Check the play of front brake and effect of front and rear brake. P. 3-9 – 12
Drive chainCheck drive chain slack and alignment. Check that the drive chain
is lubricated properly.P. 3-12 – 13
WheelsCheck for excessive wear and tire pressure. Check for loose
spokes and have no excessive play.P. 3-16
SteeringCheck that the handlebar can be turned smoothly and have no ex-
cessive play.P. 3-17
Front forks and rear shock
absorberCheck that they operate smoothly and there is no oil leakage.
P. 3-13 – 16
Cables (wires)Check that the clutch and throttle cables move smoothly. 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. P. 4-3 – 4
Rear wheel sprocket Check that the rear wheel sprocket tightening bolt is not loose. P. 3-12
Lubrication Check for smooth operation. Lubricate if necessary. P. 3-18
Bolts and nuts Check the chassis and engine for loose bolts and nuts. P. 1-13
Lead connectorsCheck that the CDI magneto, CDI unit, and ignition coil are con-
nected tightly.P. 1-7
SettingsIs the machine set suitably for the condition of the racing course
and weather or by taking into account the results of test runs be-
fore racing? Are inspection and maintenance completely done?P. 7-1 – 11
