EAS2GBB116CHECKING THE SWINGARM OPERATION
1. Check:
• Swingarm smooth action
• Swingarm free play
Refer to “SWINGARM” on page 5-65.
EAS2GBB117CHECKING THE REAR SUSPENSION
1. Stand the vehicle upright on a level surface.
EWA
WARNING
Securely support the vehicle so that there is
no danger of it falling over.
2. Check:
• Rear shock absorber assembly
Gas leaks/oil leaks  Replace the rear
shock absorber assembly.
Refer to “REAR SHOCK ABSORBER AS-
SEMBLY” on page 5-58.
3. Check:
• Rear shock absorber assembly smooth ac-
tion
• Rear suspension link smooth action
Sit astride the seat and shake your body up
and down several times to check whether
the rear shock absorber assembly operates
smoothly.
Unsmooth operation  Correct or replace.
Refer to “REAR SHOCK ABSORBER AS-
SEMBLY” on page 5-58.
EAS2GBB118ADJUSTING THE REAR SHOCK ABSORB-
ER ASSEMBLY
Use a suitable stand to raise the rear wheel off
the ground.
EWA
WARNING
Securely support the vehicle so that there is
no danger of it falling over.

NOTICE
Do not turn the adjuster forcibly beyond its
adjusting range.1. Remove:
• Rear frame
Refer to “REAR SHOCK ABSORBER AS-
SEMBLY” on page 5-58.
2. Adjust:
• Spring preload
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Loosen the locknut “1”.
b. Loosen the adjuster “2” until there is some
clearance between the spring and the ad-
juster.
c. Measure the spring free length “a”.
d. Turn the adjuster in the direction of “b” or “c”
to make an adjustment.
TIP
• Be sure to remove all dirt and mud from
around the locknut and adjusting ring before
adjustment.
• The length of the spring (installed) changes
1.5 mm (0.06 in) per turn of the adjusting ring.
Direction “b”
Spring preload is increased (suspen-
sion is harder).
Direction “c”
Spring preload is decreased (suspen-
sion is softer).
Spring preload adjusting positions
Minimum
Position in which the spring is
turned in 1.5 mm (0.06 in) from
its free length.
Standard
Position in which the spring is
turned in 10 mm (0.39 in) from its
free length.
Maximum
Position in which the spring is
turned in 18 mm (0.71 in) from its
free length.

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
9-71
TIP
Voltage should be measured 30 minutes after
the engine is stopped.
b. Connect a charger and ammeter to the bat-
tery and start charging.
TIP
Set the charging voltage to 16–17 V. If the set-
ting is lower, charging will be insufficient. If too
high, the battery will be over-charged.
c. Make sure that the current is higher than the
standard charging current written on the bat-
tery.
TIP
If the current is lower than the standard charg-
ing current written on the battery, set the charg-
ing voltage adjust dial at 20–24 V and monitor
the amperage for 3–5 minutes to check the bat-
tery.
d. Adjust the voltage so that the current is at
the standard charging level.
e. Set the time according to the charging time
suitable for the open-circuit voltage.
f. If charging requires more than 5 hours, it is
advisable to check the charging current after
a lapse of 5 hours. If there is any change in
the amperage, readjust the voltage to obtain
the standard charging current.
g. Measure the battery open-circuit voltage af-
ter leaving the battery unused for more than
30 minutes.

Charging method using a constant volt-
age charger
a. Measure the open-circuit voltage prior to
charging.
TIP
Voltage should be measured 30 minutes after
the engine is stopped.
b. Connect a charger and ammeter to the bat-
tery and start charging.c. Make sure that the current is higher than the
standard charging current written on the bat-
tery.
TIP
If the current is lower than the standard charg-
ing current written on the battery, this type of
battery charger cannot charge the VRLA (Valve
Regulated Lead Acid) battery. A variable volt-
age charger is recommended.
d. Charge the battery until the battery’s charg-
ing voltage is 15 V.
TIP
Set the charging time at 20 hours (maximum).
e. Measure the battery open-circuit voltage af-
ter leaving the battery unused for more than
30 minutes.

7. Connect:
• Battery leads
(to the battery terminals)
ECA
NOTICE
First, connect the positive battery lead “1”,
and then the negative battery lead “2”.
8. Check:
• Battery terminals
Dirt  Clean with a wire brush.
Loose connection  Connect properly.
9. Lubricate:
• Battery terminals • Standard charging current is reached
Battery is good.
• Standard charging current is not reached
Replace the battery.
12.8 V or more --- Charging is complete.
12.7 V or less --- Recharging is required.
Under 12.0 V --- Replace the battery.
12.8 V or more --- Charging is complete.
12.7 V or less --- Recharging is required.
Under 12.0 V --- Replace the battery.
