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

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.

5 - 37
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.
