AIR FILTER CLEANING
AIR FILTER CLEANING
NOTE:
Proper air filter maintenance is the biggest key
to preventing premature engine wear and
damage.
CAUTION:
Never run the engine without the air filter
element in place; this would allow dirt and
dust to enter the engine and cause rapid
wear and possible engine damage.
1. Remove:
Air filter case cover 1
NOTE:
Loosen the quick screw 2 and draw the air fil-
ter case cover to remove it because its claws
a are inserted in the side cover as shown.
2. Unhook:
Binder 1
3. Remove:
Air filter element 1
Filter guide 2
4. Clean:
Air filter element
Clean them with solvent.
NOTE:
After cleaning, remove the remaining solvent
by squeezing the element.

CAUTION:
Do not twist the element when squeezing
the element.
Leaving too much of solvent in the ele-
ment may result in poor starting.
5. Inspect:
Air filter element
Damage → Replace.
6. Apply:
Foam-air-filter oil or equivalent oil to the
element.
NOTE:
Squeeze out the excess oil. Element should
be wet but not dripping.
Wipe off the oil left on the element surface
using a clean dry cloth. (Excess oil in the ele-
ment may adversely affect engine starting.)
7. Install:
Filter guide 1
NOTE:
Align the projection a on filter guide with the
hole b in air filter element.
Apply the lithium soap base grease on the
matching surface c on air filter element.
8. Install:
Air filter element 1
NOTE:
Align the projection a on filter guide with the
hole b in air filter case.
9. Hook:
Binder 1
NOTE:
Hook the binder 1 so that it contacts the filter
guide projections a.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION
ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION
1. Stand the machine on a level surface.
NOTE:
When checking the oil level make sure that
the machine is upright.
Place the machine 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 machine upright. Then stop the
engine and inspect the oil level.
3. Remove:
Oil tank cap 1
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.

IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
1. Start the engine and thoroughly warm it up.
2. Adjust:
Idle speed Checking 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.

Adjustment steps:
Turn the throttle stop screw 1 until the
specified engine idling speed.
NOTE:
Using a digital engine tachometer for idle
speed adjustment, detect the engine idling
speed by bringing the sensing element c of
the engine tachometer close to the ignition
coil 2.

VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
NOTE:
The valve clearance should be adjusted
when the engine is cool to the touch.
The piston must be at Top Dead Center
(T.D.C.) on compression stroke to check or
adjust the valve clearance.
1. Remove:
Seat
Fuel tank
Refer to “SEAT, FUEL TANK AND SIDE
COVERS” section in the CHAPTER 4.
2. Remove:
Carburetor
Refer to “CARBURETOR” section in the
CHAPTER 4.

4. Check:
Valve clearance
Out of specification → Adjust.
Valve clearance (cold):
Intake valve:
0.10 ~ 0.15 mm
(0.0039 ~ 0.0059 in)
Exhaust valve:
0.20 ~ 0.25 mm
(0.0079 ~ 0.0098 in)
Checking steps:
Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise with
a wrench.

6. Install:
All removed parts
NOTE:
Install all removed parts in reversed order of
their removal.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 6 and the valve lift-
ers 7.
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 camshafts (exhaust and intake),
the timing chain and the camshaft caps.

NOTE:
Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise sev-
eral turns so that the installed parts settle
into the right position.
