LOCATION OF IMPORTANT LABELS
Familiarize yourself with the following pictograms and read the explanatory text.
Read Owner's service manual.
This unit contains high-pressure nitrogen gas. Mishandling can cause explosion. Do not incinerate,
puncture or open.
Turn off the main switch after riding to avoid draining the battery.
Use unleaded gasoline only.
Measure tire pressure when tires are cold.
Adjust tire pressure.
Improper tire pressure can cause loss of control.
Loss of control can result in severe injury or death.

TROUBLESHOOTING METHOD
Engine starting problems, engine
idling speed problems, and medium
and high-speed performance prob-
lems
1. CHECK:
• Refer to "TROUBLESHOOTING"
section in the chapter 3.
2. Connect the FI diagnostic tool.
(Refer to "CONNECTING THE FI
DIAGNOSTIC TOOL".)
3. Check the fault code number.
(Refer to "TROUBLESHOOTING
DETAILS".)
• Check the fault code number that is
displayed on the LCD of the FI diag-
nostic tool.
• Identify the system with the mal-
function.(Refer to "TROUBLE-
SHOOTING DETAILS".)
4. Checking and repair the probable
case of malfunction.
• Fault code No. YES.
Check and repair.
Refer to "TROUBLESHOOTING
DETAILS".
Refer to "SENSOR OPERATION
TABLE".
• Fault code No. NO.
Check each sensor and actuator
in the diagnostic mode.
Refer to "SETTING THE DIAG-
NOSTIC MODE".
Refer to "SENSOR OPERATION
TABLE".
If the sensors or actuators are
damaged, check and, if neces-
sary, repair or replace all faulty
parts.
If the sensors or actuators are not
damaged, check and, if neces-
sary, repair or replace the engine
inner parts.5. Perform ECU reinstatement ac-
tion.
Refer to "Reinstatement method"
of table in "TROUBLESHOOTING
DETAILS".
6. Set the switch on the FI diagnostic
tool sub-wire harness from "OFF"
to "ON", and then check whether
a fault code number is displayed
again.
If other fault code displayed, repeat
steps (2) to (5) until all fault code
number is not displayed.
7. Set the switch on the FI diagnostic
tool sub-wire harness to "OFF",
and then disconnect the FI diag-
nostic tool, FI diagnostic tool sub-
wire harness, and battery. Place
the accessory coupler in its origi-
nal position.
The malfunction history is stored
even if the switch on the FI diagnostic
tool sub-wire harness is set to "OFF".
Erase the malfunction history in the
diagnostic mode. (Refer to "DIAG-
NOSTIC CODE TABLE (Diagnostic
code No. D62)".)
CONNECTING THE FI
DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
1. Connect the following items to the
accessory coupler as shown.
• FI diagnostic tool "1"
• FI diagnostic tool sub-wire har-
ness "2"
• Battery "3"
• Because this vehicle is not
equipped with a battery, a 12 V
battery is required to use the FI di-
agnostic tool.
• Make sure that the switch on the
FI diagnostic tool sub-wire har-
ness is set to "OFF".
• The "POWER" LED (green)
comes on.
CHECKING THE FAULT CODES
1. Set the switch on the FI diagnostic
tool subwire harness to "ON".
When the switch on the FI diagnostic
tool sub-wire harness is set to "ON",
make sure that "Waiting for connec-
tion" is displayed on the LCD of the FI
diagnostic tool.
2. Check:
• Fault code number
• If a malfunction is detected in the
system, the fault code appears on
the LCD of the FI diagnostic tool
and the "WARNING" LED (orange)
comes on.
• To start the engine, set the switch
on the FI diagnostic tool sub-wire
harness to "OFF".
• When the engine is running, fault
code numbers will not be displayed
on the LCD of the FI diagnostic tool
even if a malfunction is detected in
the system. The "WARNING" LED
(orange) comes on.
3. Set the switch on the FI diagnostic
tool subwire harness to "OFF". FI diagnostic tool

CHECKING THE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
1. Remove:
•Coolant temperature sensor
Refer to "REMOVING THE CYL-
INDER HEAD" section in the
CHAPTER 4.
•Handle the coolant temperature
sensor with special care.
•Never subject the coolant tem-
perature sensor to strong
shocks. If the coolant tempera-
ture sensor is dropped, replace
it.
2. Check:
• Coolant temperature sensor re-
sistance
3. Connect:
•Tester
Tester (+) lead → Brown lead "1"
Tester (-) lead → Black/Blue lead
"2"
4. Immerse the coolant temperature
sensor in a container filled with
coolant.
Make sure the coolant temperature
sensor terminals do not get wet.
5. Place a thermometer "3" in the
coolant.
6. Slowly heat the coolant, and then
let it cool to the specified temper-
ature indicated in the table.Out of specification → Replace.
CHECKING THE INTAKE AIR
PRESSURE SENSOR
1. Check:
• Intake air pressure sensor output
voltage
2. Connect:
• Test harness S–pressure sensor
(3P) "1"
•Tester
Tester (+) lead → Pink/White lead
(wire harness color)
Tester (-) lead → Black/Blue lead
(wire harness color)
3. Connect the FI diagnostic tool
sub-wire harness to a battery, and
then set the switch on the harness
to "ON".
When checking the intake air pres-
sure sensor, do not start the en-
gine.
4. Measure the intake air pressure
sensor output voltage.

TEMPERATURE SENSOR
1. Remove:
• Intake air temperature sensor
(from the air filter case.)
•Handle the intake air temperature
sensor with special care.
•Never subject the intake air tem-
perature sensor to strong
shocks. If the intake air tempera-
ture sensor is dropped, replace
it.
2. Check:
• Intake air temperature sensor re-
sistance
3. Connect:
•Tester
Tester (+) lead → Brown/White
lead "1"
Tester (-) lead →Black/Blue lead
(wire harness color) "2"
Out of specification → Replace.
CHECKING THE ATMOSPHERIC
PRESSURE SENSOR
1. Check:
• Atmospheric pressure sensor out-
put voltage
2. Connect:
• Test harness S- pressure sensor
(3P) "1"
•Tester
