VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
NOTE:
In order to be sure that the piston is at Top
Dead Center, the punch mark c on the
exhaust camshaft and the punch mark d on
the intake camshaft must align with the cyl-
inder head surface, as shown in the illustra-
tion.
Measure the valve clearance e using a
feeler gauge 1.
NOTE:
Record the measured reading if the clear-
ance is incorrect.
5. Adjust:
Valve clearance
Adjustment steps:
Loosen the timing chain tensioner cap
bolt.
Remove the timing chain tensioner and
camshaft caps.
NOTE:
Remove the camshaft cap bolts in a criss-
cross pattern from the outside working
inwards.
Remove the camshaft (exhaust 1 and
intake 2).
NOTE:
Attach a wire 3 to the timing chain to pre-
vent it from falling into the crankcase.

REMOVAL POINTS
Camshaft
1. Remove:
Timing plug 1
Straight plug 2
2. Align:
“I” mark
With stationary pointer.
Checking steps:
Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise with
a wrench.
Align the “I” mark a on the rotor with the
stationary pointer b on the crankcase
cover. When the “I” mark is aligned with
the stationary pointer, the piston is at the
Top Dead Center (T.D.C.).
NOTE:
In order to be sure that the piston is at Top
Dead Center, the punch mark c on the
exhaust camshaft and the punch mark d
on the intake camshaft must align with the
cylinder head surface, as shown in the
illustration.
If there is no clearance, rotate the crank-
shaft counterclockwise one turn.

4. Measure:
Camshaft-to-cap clearance
Out of specification → Measure camshaft
journal diameter.
Camshaft-to-cap clearance:
0.020 ~ 0.054 mm
(0.0008 ~ 0.0021 in)
: 0.08 mm (0.003 in)
Measurement steps:
Install the camshaft onto the cylinder
head.
Position a strip of Plastigauge
® 1 onto the
camshaft.
Install the circlip, dowel pins and camshaft
caps.
T R..
Bolt (camshaft cap):
10 Nm (1.0 m  kg, 7.2 ft  lb)
NOTE:
Tighten the bolts (camshaft cap) in a criss-
cross pattern from innermost to outer
caps.
Do not turn the camshaft when measuring
clearance with the Plastigauge®.
Remove the camshaft caps and measure
the width of the Plastigauge
® 1.
5. Measure:
Camshaft journal diameter a
Out of specification → Replace the cam-
shaft.
Within specification → Replace camshaft
case and camshaft caps as a set.
Camshaft sprocket
1. Inspect:
Camshaft sprocket 1
Wear/damage → Replace the camshaft
assembly and timing chain as a set.

Fit the timing chain 3 onto both camshaft
sprockets and install the camshafts on the
cylinder head.
NOTE:
The camshafts should be installed onto the
cylinder head so that the exhaust cam
sprocket punch mark c and the intake cam
sprocket punch mark d align with the sur-
face of the cylinder head.
CAUTION:
Do not turn the crankshaft during the
camshaft installation. Damage or
improper valve timing will result.
Install the clips and camshaft caps 4.
