GENERAL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Item Routine Page
Coolant Check that coolant is filled up to the radiator filler cap.
Check the cooling system for leakage.P3-5~9
Fuel Check that a fresh mixture of oil and gasoline is filled in
the fuel tank. Check the fuel line for leakage.P1-12
Transmission oil Check that the oil level is correct. Check the crankcase
for leakage.P3-12~14
Gear shifter and clutch Check that gears can be shifted correctly in order and
that the clutch operates smoothly.P3-9
Throttle grip/Housing Check that the throttle grip operation and free play
are correctly adjusted. Lubricate the throttle grip and P3-10~11
housing, if necessary.
Brakes Check the play of front brake and effect of front and
rear brake.P3-17~23

BRAKE SYSTEM AIR BLEEDING
w
Bleed the brake system if:
9The system has been disassembled.
9A brake hose has been loosened or
removed.
9The brake fluid is very low.
9The brake operation is faulty.
A dangerous loss of braking performance may
occur if the brake system is not properly
bleed.
1. Remove:
9Master cylinder cap
9Diaphragm
9Protector (rear brake)
2. Bleed:
9Brake fluid
ÅFront
ıRear
Air bleeding steps:
a. Add proper brake fluid to the reservoir.
b. Install the diaphragm. Be careful not to
spill any fluid or allow the reservoir to
overflow.
c. Connect the clear plastic tube 2tightly to
the caliper bleed screw 1.
d. Place the other end of the tube into a
container.
e. Slowly apply the brake lever or pedal
several times.
f. Pull the lever in or push down on the ped-
al. Hold the lever or pedal in position.
g. Loosen the bleed screw and allow the
lever or pedal to travel towards its limit.
h. Tighten the bleed screw when the lever
or pedal limit has been reached; then re-
lease the lever or pedal.
i. Repeat steps (e) to (h) until of the air
bubbles have been removed from the
system.

NOTE:
If bleeding is difficult, it may be necessary
to let the brake fluid system stabilize for a
few hours. Repeat the bleeding procedure
when the tiny bubbles in the system have
disappeared.
j. Add brake fluid to the level line on the
reservoir.
w
Check the operation of the brake after
bleeding the brake system.
