will go.
B. Attach the coupler cover to the coolant tempera-
ture sensor coupler.
C. Pass the radiator breather hose to the inside of
the radiator hose (the side of the vehicle).
D. Insert and fix the joint coupler to the plate. After
fixing it, attach the cover.
E. Pass the throttle position sensor lead to the out-
side of the tension arm (the outside of the vehi-
cle).
F. After connecting the throttle position sensor cou-

L. 55 mm (2.17 in) (seat load receiver)
M. Clamp the fuel hose and the fuel pump lead by
the holder. Make sure that the painted part on the
fuel hose is clamped, and face the lock on the
clamp toward the rear top of the vehicle.
N. Do not install the plastic locking tie to the seat
load receiver.
O. Make the lock on the plastic locking tie face the
front of the vehicle, and make the end face the
bottom of the vehicle. Do not cut the end.
P. Install the ground lead terminal between the plate
and the bolt.
Q. Detent
R. Fix the ground lead terminal to the detent in the
plate. For the ground lead terminal, either side
will do.S. Insert the projection on the plastic locking tie into
the hole in the rear frame.
T. Clamp the painted part on the fuel hose by the
plastic clamp. Make the lock on the plastic clamp
face the bottom of the vehicle, and cut the end.

2. Attach:
• Timing light “1”
• Digital tachometer “2”
To the high tension code “3”.
3. Adjust:
• Engine idling speed
Refer to “ADJUSTING THE ENGINE
IDLING SPEED” on page 3-16.
4. Check:
• Ignition timing
Check whether the alignment mark “a” on
the left crankcase cover is within the firing
range “b” on the rotor.
Incorrect firing range  Check rotor and
Crankshaft position sensor.
