EAS2GB7124CHECKING AND LUBRICATING THE CA-
BLES
The following procedure applies to all of the in-
ner and outer cables.
EWA
WARNING
Damaged outer cable may cause the cable
to corrode and interfere with its movement.
Replace damaged outer cable and inner ca-
bles as soon as possible.
1. Check:
• Outer cable
Damage  Replace.
2. Check:
• Cable operation
Rough movement  Lubricate.
TIP
Hold the cable end upright and pour a few
drops of lubricant into the cable sheath or use
a suitable lubricating device.

EAS2GB7127LUBRICATING THE DRIVE CHAIN
The drive chain consists of many interacting
parts. If the drive chain is not maintained prop-
erly, it will wear out quickly. Therefore, the drive
chain should be serviced, especially when the
vehicle is used in dusty areas.
This vehicle has a drive chain with small rubber
O-rings between each side plate. Steam clean-
ing, high-pressure washing, certain solvents,
and the use of a coarse brush can damage
these O-rings. Therefore, use only kerosene to
clean the drive chain. Wipe the drive chain dry
and thoroughly lubricate it with engine oil or
chain lubricant that is suitable for O-ring chains.
Do not use any other lubricants on the drive
chain since they may contain solvents that
could damage the O-rings.
EAS2GB7128LUBRICATING THE SIDESTAND
Lubricate the pivoting point and metal-to-metal
moving parts of the sidestand.
EAS2GB7129CHECKING THE CHASSIS FASTENERS
Make sure that all nuts, bolts, and screws are
properly tightened.

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.
