IMPORTANT INFORMATION
EAS1SM1023PREPARATION FOR REMOVAL AND DIS-
ASSEMBLY
1. Before the jobs, completely remove mud,
dust, and the like in order to prevent the en-
try of them into the inside during the jobs.
• Before cleaning with high-pressure water of
washers, cover the following parts.
Air duct
Silencer exhaust port
Drain hole on the cylinder head (right side)
Hole under the water pump housing
2. Use proper special tools and equipment.
See “SPECIAL TOOLS”.
3. During disassembly, check and measure the
required parts, and make a record of them
so that you may refer to the record when in-
stalling them. Moreover, arrange gears, cyl-
inders, pistons, and other parts for each
section so as not to confuse or lose them.4. During disassembly, clean each of the parts,
and store them in trays for each section.
5. Flammable. Keep servicing areas away
from any source of fire.
6. During servicing, take special care not to re-
ceive an injury or a burn on the engine, the
exhaust pipe, the silencer, or the like.
7. If coolant is left adhered to the chassis, paint
and plating will be damaged. Therefore,
rinse it out with water in good time.

WARNING
If you need to disassemble the disc brake
components, observe the following precau-
tions.
• Never disassemble the brake components
unless absolutely necessary.
• If there is any problem with connections
on the hydraulic brake system, perform
the following jobs.
Disassemble the brake system, drain the
brake fluid, and clean it. After that, add a
suitable amount of brake fluid. Then, bleed
it after reassembly.
• Use only brake fluid for washing brake
components.
• Use new brake fluid for cleaning the brake
components.
• Immediately wipe off the spilled brake fluid
to avoid damage to painted surfaces or
plastic parts.
• Handle brake fluid with special care not to
let it enter your eyes so that you may not
lost your eyesight.
• FIRST AID FOR BRAKE FLUID ENTERING
THE EYES:
• Flush with water for 15 minutes and get
immediate medical attention.
EAS1SM1137CHECKING THE FRONT BRAKE DISC
1. Remove:
• Front wheel
Refer to “FRONT WHEEL” on page 4-3.
2. Check:
• Front brake disc
Damage/galling  Replace.
3. Measure:
• Brake disc thickness
Measure the brake disc thickness at a few
different locations.
Out of specification  Replace.4. Install:
• Front wheel
Refer to “FRONT WHEEL” on page 4-3.
EAS1SM1138REMOVING THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER
TIP
Before disassembling the brake caliper, drain
the brake fluid from the entire brake system.
1. Remove:
• Union bolt
• Copper washers
• Brake hose
TIP
Put the end of the brake hose into a container
and pump out the brake fluid.
EAS1SM1139DISASSEMBLING THE FRONT BRAKE CAL-
IPER
1. Remove:
• Brake caliper piston “1”
• Brake caliper piston dust seal “2”
• Brake caliper piston seals “3”
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Blow compressed air into the brake hose
joint opening to force out the piston from the
brake caliper.
EWA13550
WARNING
• Cover the brake caliper piston with a cloth.
Be careful not to get injured when the pis-
ton is expelled from the brake caliper.
• Do not use a screwdriver etc. for removing
the brake caliper piston.
