assembly and adjustment.
EC133000
GASKETS, OIL SEALS AND O-RINGS
1. All gaskets, oil seals, and O-rings should
be replaced when an engine is over-
hauled. All gasket surfaces, oil seal lips,
and O-rings must be cleaned.
2. Properly oil all mating parts and bearings
during reassembly. Apply grease to the
oil seal lips.
EC134000
LOCK WASHERS/PLATES AND COTTER
PINS
1. All lock washers/plates
1
and cotter pins
must be replaced when they are
removed. Lock tab(s) should be bent
along the bolt or nut flat(s) after the bolt
or nut has been properly tightened.
EC135001
BEARINGS AND OIL SEALS
1. Install the bearing(s)
1 and oil seal(s) 2
with their manufacturer’s marks or num-
bers facing outward. (In other words, the
stamped letters must be on the side
exposed to view.) When installing oil
seal(s), apply a light coating of light-
weight lithium base grease to the seal
lip(s). Oil the bearings liberally when
installing.
CAUTION:
Do not use compressed air to spin the
bearings dry. This causes damage to the
bearing surfaces.

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.
Recommended oil:
At 5 ˚C (40 ˚F) or higher Å

CHASFRONT BRAKE AND REAR BRAKE
2. Install:
Brake hose holder 1
Screw (brake hose holder) 2
CAUTION:
After installing the brake hose holders,
make sure the brake hose does not contact
the spring (rear shock absorber). If it does,
correct its twist.

Brake fluid
1. Fill:
Brake fluid
Until the fluid level reaches “LOWER”
level line a.
WARNING
Use only the designated quality brake
fluid:
otherwise, the rubber seals may deterio-
rate, causing leakage and poor brake per-
formance.
Refill with the same type of brake fluid;
mixing fluids may result in a harmful chem-
ical reaction and lead to poor performance.
Be careful that water does not enter the
master cylinder when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point of the
fluid and may result in vapor lock.
CAUTION:
Brake fluid may erode painted surfaces or
plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.

CHASFRONT FORK
EC556000
HANDLING NOTE
NOTE:
The front fork requires careful attention. So it is
recommended that the front fork be main-
tained at the dealers.
CAUTION:
To prevent an accidental explosion of air,
the following instructions should be
observed:
The front fork with a built-in piston rod
has a very sophisticated internal con-
struction and is particularly sensitive to
foreign material.
Use enough care not to allow any foreign
material to come in when the oil is
replaced or when the front fork is disas-
sembled and reassembled.
Before removing the cap bolts or front
forks, be sure to extract the air from the
air chamber completely.

REMOVAL POINTS

Cap bolt
1. Remove:
Cap bolt 1
From the outer tube.
NOTE:
Before removing the front fork from the
machine, loosen the cap bolt.
2. Remove:
Cap bolt 1
NOTE:
While compressing the fork spring, set the
thin type spanners 2 between the spacer 3
and spring guide 4.
Hold the locknut 5 and remove the cap bolt.

CHASFRONT FORK
13. Check:
Inner tube smooth movement
Tightness/binding/rough spots →
Repeat the steps 2 to 12.
14. Compress the front fork fully.
15. Fill:
Front fork oil
Until outer tube top surface with recom-
mended fork oil 1.
CAUTION:
Be sure to use recommended fork oil. If
other oils are used, they may have an
excessively adverse effect on the front
fork performance.
Never allow foreign materials to enter the
front fork.
Recommended oil:
Suspension oil “01”
16. After filling, pump the damper rod 1
slowly up and down more than 10 times
to distribute the fork oil.
17. Fill:
Front fork oil
Until outer tube top surface with recom-
mended fork oil once more.
18. After filling, pump the outer tube 1 slowly
up and down (about 200 mm (7.9 in)
stroke) to distribute the fork oil once
more.
NOTE:
Be careful not to excessive full stroke. A stroke
of 200 mm (7.9 in) or more will cause air to
enter. In this case, repeat the steps 15 to 18.

CHASFRONT FORK
19. Wait ten minutes until the air bubbles
have been removed from the front fork,
and the oil has dispense evenly in system
before setting recommended oil level.
NOTE:
Fill with the fork oil up to the top end of the
outer tube, or the fork oil will not spread over to
every part of the front forks, thus making it
impossible to obtain the correct level.
Be sure to fill with the fork oil up to the top of
the outer tube and bleed the front forks.
20. Measure:
Oil level (left and right) a
Out of specification → Adjust.
* For EUROPE
NOTE:
Be sure to install the spring guide 2 when
checking the oil level.
WARNING
Never fail to make the oil level adjustment
between the maximum and minimum level
and always adjust each front fork to the
same setting. Uneven adjustment can
cause poor handling and loss of stability.
Standard oil level:
135 mm (5.31 in)
*125 mm (4.92 in)
Extent of adjustment:
80 ~ 150 mm (3.15 ~ 5.91 in)
From top of outer tube with
inner tube and damper rod 1
fully compressed without
spring.
