ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION
1. Stand the motorcycle on a level surface.
NOTE:
When checking the oil level make sure that
the motorcycle is upright.
Place the motorcycle on a suitable stand.
WARNING
Never remove the oil tank cap just after
high speed operation. The heated oil could
spurt out. causing danger. Wait until the oil
cools down to approximately 70 ˚C (158 ˚F).
2. Idle the engine more than 3 minutes
while keeping the motorcycle upright.
Then stop the engine and inspect the oil
level.
3. Remove:
Oil tank cap 1

4. Inspect:
Oil level
Oil level should be between maximum
a and minimum b marks.
Oil level low → Add oil to proper level.
NOTE:
When inspecting the oil level, do not screw the
oil level gauge into the oil tank.
Insert the gauge lightly.
(For USA and CDN)
CAUTION:
Do not add any chemical additives.
Engine oil also lubricates the clutch and
additives could cause clutch slippage.
Do not allow foreign material to enter the
crankcase.
(Except for USA and CDN)
CAUTION:
Do not add any chemical additives or use
oils with a grade of CD a or higher.
Do not use oils labeled “ENERGY CON-
SERVING II” b or higher. Engine oil also
lubricates the clutch and additives could
cause clutch slippage.
Do not allow foreign materials to enter the
crankcase.

PILOT SCREW ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust:
Pilot screw 1
* Except for USAChecking steps:
Slightly loosen the oil gallery bolt 1.
Start the engine and keep it idling until oil
starts to seep from the oil gallery bolt. If no
oil comes out after one minute, turn the
engine off so it will not seize.
Check oil passages, oil filter and oil pump
for damage or leakage.
Start the engine after solving the prob-
lem(s) and recheck the oil pressure.
Tighten the oil gallery bolt to specification.

Adjusting steps:
NOTE:
To optimize the fuel flow at a smaller throttle
opening, each machine’s pilot screw has
been individually set at the factory. Before
adjusting the pilot screw, turn it in fully and
count the number of turns. Record this num-
ber as the factory-set number of turns out.
Turn in the pilot screw until it is lightly
seated.
Turn out the pilot screw by the factory-set
number of turns.
Pilot screw:
WR426F: 1-5/8 turns out
* 1-1/8 turns out
WR400F: 1-1/2 turns out

8 or 9 10
EXAMPLE:
Installed pad number = 148
Rounded off value = 150
NOTE:
Pads can only be selected in 0.05 mm incre-
ments.
Locate the rounded-off value and the mea-
sured valve clearance in the chart “PAD
SELECTION TABLE”. The field where
these two coordinates intersect shows the
new pad number to use.
NOTE:
Use the new pad number only as a guide
when verifying the valve clearance adjust-
ment.
Install the new pads 0 and the valve lift-
ers A.
NOTE:
Apply the engine oil on the valve lifters.
Apply the molybdenum disulfide oil on the
valve stem ends.
Valve lifter must turn smoothly when
rotated with a finger.
Be careful to reinstall valve lifters and
pads in their original place.
Install the decompression shaft B, plain
washer C, bolt D, guide E, bolt F and
decompression cable G.
NOTE:
Apply the engine oil on the decompression
shaft.

valve stem, lightly tap the valve tip with a
piece of wood.
CAUTION:
Hitting the valve tip with excessive force
could damage the valve.

2. Measure:
Piston pin-to-piston clearance
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Piston
1. Install:
Piston rings
Onto the piston.
NOTE:
Be sure to install the piston rings so that the
manufacturer’s marks or numbers are
located on the upper side of the rings.
Lubricate the piston and piston rings liberally
with engine oil. Measurement steps:
Measure the outside diameter (piston pin)
a.
If out of specification, replace the piston
pin
Outside diameter (piston pin):
WR426F: 18.991 ~ 19.000 mm
(0.7477 ~ 0.7480 in)
WR400F: 17.991 ~ 18.000 mm
(0.7083 ~ 0.7093 in)
Measure the inside diameter (piston) b.
Inside diameter (piston):
WR426F: 19.004 ~ 19.015 mm
(0.7482 ~ 0.7486 in)
WR400F: 18.004 ~ 18.015 mm
(0.7088 ~ 0.7093 in)
Calculate the piston pin-to-piston clear-
ance with the following formula.
Piston pin-to-piston clearance =
Inside diameter (piston) b –
Outside diameter (piston pin) a
If out of specification, replace the piston.
Piston pin-to-piston clearance:
0.004 ~ 0.024 mm
(0.00016 ~ 0.00094 in)
: 0.07 mm (0.003 in)

NOTE:
Apply engine oil onto the piston pin and pis-
ton.
Be sure that the arrow mark a on the piston
points to the exhaust side of the engine.
Before installing the piston pin clip, cover the
crankcase with a clean rag to prevent the
piston pin clip from falling into the crankcase.
Install the piston pin clips with their ends fac-
ing downward.
4. Lubricate:
Piston
Piston rings
Cylinder
NOTE:
Apply a liberal coating of engine oil.

NOTE:
Install the cylinder with one hand while com-
pressing the piston rings with the other hand.
CAUTION:
Pass the timing chain 3 through the tim-
ing chain cavity.
Be careful not to damage the timing chain
guide 4 during installation.
