TIP
• The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
• Hydraulic brake service
• After disassembling the brake master cylinders and calipers, always change the fluid. Regularly
check the brake fluid levels and fill the reservoirs as required.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and
change the brake fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Before riding for break-in operation, practice or a race, make sure the machine is in good operating
condition.
Before using this machine, check the following points.
EAS2GB2082GENERAL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
TIP
Perform usual maintenance enough so that, in the race course, a confirmation of that and simple set-
ting adjustments may only be left, in order to get enough time to use effectively.ITEM inspect Page
CoolantCheck that coolant is filled up to the radiator cap.
Check the cooling system for leakage.3-10 – 12
FuelCheck that a fresh gasoline is filled in the fuel tank.
Check the fuel line for leakage.1-32
Engine oilCheck that the oil level is correct. Check the crank-
case and oil line for leakage.3-16 – 18
Gear shifter and clutchCheck that gears can be shifted correctly in order and
that the clutch operates smoothly.3-12 – 13
Throttle grip/HousingCheck that the throttle grip operation and free play
are correctly adjusted. Lubricate the throttle grip and
housing, if necessary.3-13 – 14
BrakesCheck the play of front brake and effect of front and
rear brake.3-24 – 30
Drive chainCheck drive chain slack and alignment. Check that
the drive chain is lubricated properly.3-30
5-68 – 69
WheelsCheck for excessive wear and tire pressure. Check
for loose spokes and have no excessive play.3-35 – 36
SteeringCheck that the handlebar can be turned smoothly and
have no excessive play.3-36 – 37
Front forks and rear
shock absorberCheck that they operate smoothly and there is no oil
leakage.3-31 – 35
Cables (wires)Check that the clutch and throttle cables move
smoothly. Check that they are not caught when the
handlebars are turned or when the front forks travel
up and down.—
Exhaust pipeCheck that the exhaust pipe is tightly mounted and
has no cracks.3-15 – 16
Rear wheel sprocketCheck that the rear wheel sprocket tightening bolt is
not loose.5-10 – 11
LubricationCheck for smooth operation. Lubricate if necessary. 3-13
3-37 – 38
Bolts and nutsCheck the chassis and engine for loose bolts and
nuts.1-36 – 37
Lead connectorsCheck that the AC magneto, ECU and ignition coil are
connected tightly.1-11 – 14
SettingsIs the machine set suitably for the condition of the rac-
ing course and weather or by taking into account the
results of test runs before racing? Are inspection and
maintenance completely done?4-1 – 8
