EAS2GB7137SELECTION OF THE SECONDARY REDUC-
TION RATIO (SPROCKET)
reduction ratio>
• It is generally said that the secondary gear ra-
tio should be reduced for a longer straight por-
tion of a speed course and should be
increased for a course with many corners. Ac-
tually, however, as the speed depends on the
ground condition of the day of the race, be
sure to run through the circuit to set the ma-
chine suitable for the entire course.
• In actuality, it is very difficult to achieve set-
tings suitable for the entire course and some
settings may be sacrificed. Thus, the settings
should be matched to the portion of the
course that has the greatest effect on the race
result. In such a case, run through the entire
course while making notes of lap times to find
the best balance; then, determine the second-
ary reduction ratio.
• If a course has a long straight portion where a
machine can run at maximum speed, the ma-
chine is generally set such that it can develop
its maximum revolutions toward the end of the
straight line, with care taken to avoid the en-
gine over-revving.
TIP
Riding technique varies from rider to rider and
the performance of a machine also vary from
machine to machine. Therefore, do not imitate
other rider’s settings from the beginning but
choose your own setting according to the level
of your riding technique.

EAS2GB7139TIRE PRESSURE
Tire pressure should be adjusted to suit the
road surface condition of the circuit.
• Under a rainy, a muddy, a sandy, or a slippery
condition, the tire pressure should be lower
for a larger area of contact with the road sur-
face. Secondary reduction ratio = Number of
rear wheel sprocket teeth/Number of
drive sprocket teeth

WARNING
• Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.
• Refill with the same type of brake fluid that
is already in the system. Mixing brake flu-
ids may result in a harmful chemical reac-
tion, leading to poor brake performance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake fluid reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the brake fluid and could cause vapor
lock.

NOTICE
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean
up any spilt brake fluid immediately.
5. Bleed:
• Brake system
Refer to “BLEEDING THE BRAKE SYS-
TEM” on page 3-24.
6. Check:
• Brake fluid level
The minimum level mark “a” or below
Add.
Refer to “CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL” on page 3-29.
7. Check:
• Brake pedal operation
A softy or spongy feeling Bleed the brake
system.
Refer to “BLEEDING THE BRAKE SYS-
TEM” on page 3-24.

TIP
Before removing the rear brake master cylin-
der, drain the brake fluid from the entire brake
system.1. Remove:
• Union bolt
• Copper washers
• Brake hose
TIP
To drain any remaining brake fluid, place a con-
tainer under the master cylinder and the end of
the brake hose.
