EAS2GBB111CHECKING THE FRONT FORK LEGS
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:
• Inner tube
Damage/scratches  Replace.
• Front fork leg (s)
Oil leaks between inner tube and outer tube
 Replace the oil seal.
3. Hold the vehicle upright and apply the front
brake.
4. Check:
• Front fork operation
Push 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.
EAS2GBB112CHECKING 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.
EAS2GBB113CLEANING 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.
EAS2GBB114AIR 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.

EAS2GBB239CHECKING 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

TIP
Identify the position of each part very carefully
so that it can be reinstalled in its original place.
EAS2GBB251CHECKING 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.

a. Remove the valve guide with the valve guide
remover “1”.
b. Install the new valve guide with the valve
guide installer “2” and the valve guide re-
mover “1”.
c. After installing the valve guide, expand the
hole in the valve guide with the valve guide
reamer “3” to obtain the proper valve-stem-
to-valve-guide clearance. Valve-stem-to-valve-guide clearance =
