3. Hold the vehicle upright and apply the front brake.
4. Check:
• Front fork operationPush down hard on the handlebar several
times and check if the front fork rebounds
smoothly.
Unsmooth operation  Correct or replace.
Refer to “FRONT FORK” on page 5-40.
EAS2GC1112CHECKING THE FRONT FORK PROTEC-
TOR GUIDE
1. Check:
• Protector guide “1”Out of specification  Replace.
TIP
The protector guide reaches the limit of its use
when it is worn down to the same height “a” as
of the outer tube circumference.
EAS2GC1113CLEANING THE FRONT FORK OIL SEAL
AND DUST SEAL
1. Remove:
•Protector
• Dust seal “1”
ECA
NOTICE
Be careful not to damage the dust seal and
the inner tube by a driver. 2. Clean:
• Dust seal “a”
• Oil seal “b”
TIP
• Clean the dust seal and oil seal after every
run.
• Apply lithium-soap-based grease on the inner
tube.
EAS2GC1114AIR BLEEDING FROM FRONT FORK
TIP
If the front fork initial movement feels stiff dur-
ing a run, relieve the front fork internal pres-
sure.
1. Use a suitable stand to raise the front wheel off the ground.
EWA
WARNING
Securely support the vehicle so that there is
no danger of it falling over.
2. Remove the air bleed screw “1” and release the internal pressure from the front fork.

EAS2GC1239CHECKING THE CAMSHAFT
1. Check:• Camshaft lobes
Blue discoloration/pitting/scratches  Re-
place the camshaft.
2. Measure:
• Camshaft lobe dimensions “A” and “B”Out of specification  Replace the cam-
shaft. 3. Measure:
• Camshaft runout
Out of specification  Replace.
4. Measure: • Camshaft-journal-to-camshaft-cap clear-ance
Out of specification  Measure the cam-
shaft journal diameter.
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Install the camshaft into the cylinder head.
b. Position a strip of Plastigauge® “1” onto the camshaft journal as shown.

4. Remove:• Valve spring retainer “1”
• Valve spring “2”
•Valve “3”
• Valve stem seal “4”
• Valve spring seat “5”
TIP
Identify the position of each part very carefully
so that it can be reinstalled in its original place.
EAS2GC1251CHECKING THE VALVES AND VALVE
GUIDES
1. Measure:• Valve-stem-to-valve-guide clearance
Out of specification  Replace the valve
guide. 2. Replace:
• Valve guide
TIP
To ease valve guide removal and installation,
and to maintain the correct fit, heat the cylinder
head to 100°C (212°F) in an oven.
