GENERAL TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS
This chart specifies torque for stan-
dard fasteners with standard I.S.O.
pitch threads. Torque specifications
for special components or assem-
blies are included in the applicable
sections of this book. To avoid war-
page, tighten multi-fastener assem-
blies in a crisscross fashion, in
progressive stages, until full torque is
reached. Unless otherwise specified,
torque specifications call for clean,
dry threads. Components should be
at room temperature.A. Distance between flats

tape with the cable guide.
C. Pass the throttle cable, clutch
cable and "ENGINE STOP" but-
ton lead above the radiator
hose.

D. Install the ignition coil, side core
and ground lead together to the
frame. Take care to fasten the
ground lead so that its terminal
is within the indicated range.
E. Clamp the throttle cable and
high tension cord to the frame.
F. Clamp the clutch cable to the left
engine bracket. Clamp the
clutch cable below the position-
ing grommet.
G. Pass the air vent hose back of
the throttle cable.
H. Pass the air vent hose, overflow
hose and crankcase breather
hose between the frame and
connecting rod.
I. Pass the radiator breather hose
and YPVS breather hose out-
side the engine bracket and in-
side the down tube. Then pass
the radiator breather hose inside
the YPVS breather hose.
J. Clamp the CDI magneto lead,
radiator breather hose and
YPVS breather hose to the
frame.
K. Clamp to the frame the CDI
magneto lead and radiator
breather hose. Take care to
clamp them above the projection
on the frame.
L. Locate the clamp ends in the ar-
rowed range.
M. Pass the air vent hose, overflow
hose and crankcase breather
hose so that they do not contact
the rear shock absorber.
N. Bring the connector cover into
contact with the coupler.

clamp ends backward and then
cut off the tie end.C. Clamp to the frame the throttle
cable, clutch cable, ignition coil
lead and "ENGINE STOP" but-
ton lead. In so doing, clamp the
ignition coil lead and "ENGINE
STOP" button lead at their pro-
tecting tubes. Tighten the clamp
so that the "ENGINE STOP" but-
ton lead is not pulled when the
handlebar is turned to the right
and left.

E. Clamp the CDI magneto lead to
the frame at its locating tape.
F. Bring the connector cover into

G. Locate the clamp ends in the ar-
rowed range.
H. Insert the CDI unit band until it
stops at the CDI unit stay.
I. Pass the CDI magneto lead and
radiator breather hose between
the frame and the radiator hose
so that they come within the ar-
row-indicated range. Also take
care so that the CDI magneto
lead passes on the left of the ra-
diator breather hose.
