REMOVING THE TRANSMISSION
1. Remove:• Main axle "1"
•Drive axle "2"
•Shift cam
• Shift fork 3
• Shift fork 2
• Shift fork 1
• Remove assembly with the collar "3" installed to the crankcase.
• Remove assembly carefully. Note
the position of each part. Pay partic-
ular attention to the location and di-
rection of shift forks.
• Remove the main axle, drive axle, shift cam and shift fork all together
by tapping lightly on the transmis-
sion drive axle with a soft hammer.
CHECKING THE GEARS
1. Inspect:• Matching dog "a"
• Gear teeth "b"
• Shift fork groove "c"Wear/damage →Replace.
2. Inspect: • O-ring "1"
Damage →Replace.
3. Check: • Gears movement
Unsmooth movement →Repair or
replace. CHECKING THE BEARING
1. Inspect:
• Bearing "1"Rotate inner race with a finger.
Rough spot/seizure →Replace.
CHECKING THE SHIFT FORK,
SHIFT CAM AND SEGMENT
1. Inspect: • Shift fork "1"Wear/damage/scratches →Re-
place.
2. Inspect: • Shift cam "1"
• Segment "2"
Wear/damage →Replace.
3. Check: • Shift fork movementUnsmooth operation →Replace
shift fork.
For a malfunctioning shift fork, re-
place not only the shift fork itself but
the two gears each adjacent to the
shift fork.
INSTALLING THE TRANSMISSION
1. Install: • 5th pinion gear (19T) "1"
• 3rd pinion gear (17T) "2"
•Collar "3"
• 4th pinion gear (21T) "4"
• 2nd pinion gear (16T) "5"To main axle "6".
Apply the molybdenum disulfide oil
on the inner and end surface of the
idler gear and on the inner surface of
the sliding gear, then install.
2. Install:• 2nd wheel gear (28T) "1"
• 4th wheel gear (23T) "2"
• 3rd wheel gear (23T) "3"
• 5th wheel gear (17T) "4"
• 1st wheel gear (31T) "5"
• O-ring "6" To drive axle "7".
• Apply the molybdenum disulfide oil on the inner and end surface of the
idler gear and on the inner surface
of the sliding gear, then install.
• Apply the lithium soap base grease on the O-ring.

3. Install:• Washer "1"
• Circlip "2"
• Be sure the circlip sharp-edged cor-ner "a" is positioned opposite side
to the washer and gear "b".
• Install the circlip with its ends "c" settled evenly on the spline crests.
4. Install:
•Collar "1"
• Apply the lithium soap base grease on the oil seal lip.
• When installing the collar into the crankcase, pay careful attention to
the crankcase oil seal lip.

the 5th wheel gear "7" on the drive
axle.
• Mesh the shift fork #2 (C) with the
3rd pinion gear "6" on the main ax-
le.
6. Install:• Transmission assembly "1"To left crankcase "2".
Apply the engine oil on the bearings
and guide bars.
7. Check:• Shifter operation
• Transmission operation
Unsmooth operation →Repair.

ELECTRIC STARTING SYSTEM
3. Inspect:• Secondary coil resistanceOut of specification →Replace.
4. Inspect: • Sealed portion of ignition coil "a"
• Spark plug terminal pin "b"
• Threaded portion of spark plug "c"Wear →Replace.
CHECKING THE AC MAGNETO
1. Inspect: • Pickup coil resistanceOut of specification →Replace. CHECKING THE NEUTRAL
SWITCH
1. Inspect:
• Neutral switch conduction
Not conductive while it is in neutral →
Replace.
Conductive while it is engaged →Re-
place.
Set the tester selection position to " Ω
× 1".
CHECKING THE CDI UNIT
Check all electrical components. If no
fault is found, replace the CDI unit.
Then check the electrical compo-
nents again.
ELECTRIC STARTING
SYSTEM
STARTING CIRCUIT CUT-OFF
SYSTEM OPERATION
If the main switch is set to "ON", the
starter motor can only operate if at
least one of the following conditions is
met:
• The transmission is in neutral (the neutral switch is closed).
• The clutch lever is pulled to the han- dlebar (the clutch switch is closed).
The starting circuit cut-off relay pre-
vents the starter motor from operating
when neither of these conditions has
been met. In this instance, the start-
ing circuit cut-off relay is open so cur-
rent cannot reach the starter motor.
When at least one of the above con-
ditions has been met the starting cir-
cuit cut-off relay is closed and the
engine can be started by pressing the
start switch.
