CHECKING THE INJECTOR
Replace the fuel injector with a
new one if you have dropped or im-
pacted it.
1. Check:
• Injectors
Damage → Replace.
CHECKING THE THROTTLE BODY
•Before removing the throttle
body, clean the area around the
throttle body to prevent dirt and
other foreign material from fall-
ing into the engine.
•If the throttle body is subject to
strong shocks or dropped during
cleaning, replace it.
•Do not use any caustic carbure-
tor cleaning solution.
•Do not directly push the throttle
valves to open them.
•Do not loosen the throttle valve
stopper screw "1", throttle valve
pulley nut "2", or throttle valve
screw "3". Otherwise, a loss of
performance may occur.
•Do not use compressed air to
clean the throttle body. Other-
wise, foreign material may ad-
here to the intake air pressure
sensor passage "a" and fuel in-
jector "b" in the throttle body.
1. Check:
• Throttle body
Cracks/damage → Replace the
throttle body as a set.
2. Check:
• Starter knob/ idle screw delivery
passages "a"
Obstructions →Blow out with
compressed air.
ASSEMBLING THE THROTTLE
BODY
1. Install:
• O-ring "1"
• Injector "2"
•Bolt "3"
Always use a new O-ring.
INSTALLING THE THROTTLE
BODY
1. Install:
• Throttle body joint "1"
• Throttle body "2"
• Face the slot "a" in the throttle body
joint toward the bottom of the vehi-
cle.
•Align the slot "a" on the throttle body
joint with the projection "b" on the
throttle body.
2. Install the water-resistant cover
"1" onto the throttle body.
CHECKING AND REPLACING THE
PROTECTOR
1. Check:
• Protector "1"
Wear/damage → Replace.
Affix the protector as shown.Bolt (injector)

IGNITION SYSTEM
IGNITION SYSTEM
INSPECTION STEPS
Use the following steps for checking the possibility of the malfunctioning engine being attributable to ignition system failure
and for checking the spark plug which will not spark.
*marked: Only when the ignition checker is used.
• Remove the following parts before inspection.
1. Seat
2. Fuel tank
• Use the following special tools in this inspection.
Spark gap testSpark→• *Clean or replace spark plug.
• Check the connection of the spark plug cap to the
spark plug.
No spark↓
Check entire ignition system for connection.
(couplers, leads and ignition coil)No good→
Repair or replace.
OK↓
Check engine stop switch. No good→Replace.
OK↓
Check ignition coil. (primary coil and secondary
coil)No good→
Replace.
OK↓
Check AC magneto. (crankshaft position sensor
and stator coil)No good→

IGNITION SYSTEM
SPARK GAP TEST
1. Disconnect the spark plug cap
from spark plug.
2. Connect the dynamic spark tester
"1" (ignition checker "2") as
shown.
• Spark plug cap "3"
• Spark plug "4"
A. For USA and CDN
B. Except for USA and CDN
3. Kick the kickstarter crank.
4. Check the ignition spark gap.
5. Start engine, and increase spark
gap until misfire occurs. (for USA
and CDN only)
6. Inspect:
• Sealed portion of spark plug cap
"a"
• Spark plug terminal pin "b"
• Threaded portion of spark plug "c"
7. Inspect:
• Installed condition of spark plug
and spark plug cap
Push in the spark plug cap, mak-
ing sure that it is securely fitted
into the hole in the cylinder head
cover.CHECKING THE COUPLERS AND
LEADS CONNECTION
1. Check:
• Couplers and leads connection
Rust/dust/looseness/short-circuit
→Repair or replace.
CHECKING THE ENGINE STOP
SWITCH
1. Inspect:
• Engine stop switch conduction
Not conductive while it is pushed→
Replace.
Conductive while it is freed→Re-
place.
Set the tester selection position to "Ω
× 1".
CHECKING THE IGNITION COIL
1. Remove the ignition coil cap.
2. Inspect:
• Primary coil resistance
Out of specification→Replace.3. Inspect:
• Secondary coil resistance
Out of specification→Replace.
Disconnect the spark plug cap before
measuring the secondary coil resis-
tance.
CHECKING THE AC MAGNETO
1. Inspect:
• Crankshaft position sensor resis-
tance
Out of specification→Replace.
Minimum spark gap:
6.0 mm (0.24 in)

CHECKING THE ECU
1. Check:
• All electrical components.
2. Check:
• ECU installation status
Make sure that the ECU is in-
stalled correctly.
• The lean angle sensor is built into
the ECU.
• The lean angle sensor stops the en-
gine in case of a turnover.
• To ensure that the lean angle sen-
sor operates correctly, do not
change the installation position of
the sensor.
3. Check:
•ECU
If no fault is found, replace the
ECU. Tester (+) lead→White lead "1"
