• Speed sensor lead holder “1”
• Speed sensor lead clamp “2”
TIP
• Insert the end of the speed sensor lead holder
in the hole in the lower bracket “a”.
• Install so that the marking “b” on the speed
sensor lead aligns with the speed sensor lead
holder edge.

EAS2GB7217REMOVING THE SWINGARM
1. 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.
2. Measure:
• Swingarm side play
• Swingarm vertical movement
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Measure the tightening torque of the pivot
shaft nut.
b. Measure the swingarm side play “a” by mov-
ing the swingarm from side to side.
c. If the swingarm side play is out of specifica-
tion, check the spacers, the bearings, and
the collars.
d. Check the swingarm vertical movement “b”
by moving the swingarm up and down.
If swingarm vertical movement is not smooth
or if there is binding, check the spacers, the
bearings, and the collars.

1. Check:
• Swingarm
Bends/cracks/damage  Replace.
2. Check:
• Pivot shaft
Roll the pivot shaft on a flat surface.
Bends  Replace.
EWA
WARNING
Do not attempt to straighten a bent pivot
shaft.
3. Wash with kerosene:
• Pivot shaft
• Spacers
•Collars
• Bearing
4. Check:
• Oil seals

EAS2GB7242CHECKING THE DECOMPRESSION SYS-
TEM
1. Check:
• Decompression system
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Check that the decompressor cam “1”
moves smoothly.
b. Check that the decompressor lever pin “2”
projects from the camshaft.

EAS2GB7243INSTALLING THE CAMSHAFTS
1. Install:
• Exhaust camshaft “1”
• Intake camshaft “2”
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise with a
wrench.
TIP
• Apply molybdenum disulfide oil to the cam-
shafts.
• Apply the engine oil on the decompression
system.
b. Align the top dead center (TDC) mark “a” on
the rotor with the alignment mark “b” on the
crankcase cover.c. Fit the timing chain “3” onto both camshaft
sprockets and install the camshafts on the
cylinder head.
TIP
Make sure that the alignment mark “c” on the
exhaust camshaft sprocket and the alignment
mark “d” on the intake camshaft sprocket are
aligned with the edge of the cylinder head.
ECA
NOTICE
Do not turn the crankshaft during the cam-
shaft installation. Damage or improper
valve timing will result.
d. Install the clips, the camshaft caps and the
bolts (camshaft cap).
TIP
• Before installing the clips, cover the cylinder
head with a clean cloth to prevent the clips
from coming off into the cylinder head cavity.
• Apply the engine oil to the threads and con-
tact surfaces.
• Tighten the bolts to the specified torque in two
or three steps in the proper tightening se-
quence as shown.
ECA
NOTICE
The bolts (camshaft cap) must be tightened
evenly, or damage to the cylinder head,
camshaft caps, and camshaft will result.
