PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Before riding for break-in operation, practice or a race, make sure the machine is in good operating
condition.
Before using this machine, check the following points.
EC321000
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
Chain Check chain slack and alignment. Check that the chain
is lubricated properly.P3-24~26
Wheels Check for excessive wear and tire pressure. Check for
loose spokes and have no excessive play.P3-34~35
Steering Check that the handlebar can be turned smoothly and
have no excessive play.P3-35~36
Front forks and Check that they operate smoothly and there is no oil
rear shock absorber leakage.P3-26~33
Cables (wires) Check that the clutch and throttle cables move smooth-
ly. Check that they are not caught when the handlebars —
are turned or when the front forks travel up and down.
Muffler Check that the muffler is tightly mounted and has no
cracks.P3-15~16
Sprocket Check that the driven sprocket tightening bolt is
not loose.P3-24
Lubrication Check for smooth operation. Lubricate if necessary. P3-37
Bolts and nuts Check the chassis and engine for loose bolts and nuts. P1-16
Lead connectors Check that the CDI magneto, CDI unit, and ignition coil
are connected tightly.P1-6
Settings Is the machine set suitably for the condition of the
racing course and weather or by taking into account the
P7-1~24
results of test runs before racing? Are inspection and
maintenance completely done?

9The role of fuel is to cool the engine, and in the
case of a 2-stroke engine, to lubricate the
engine in addition to power generation. Accord-
ingly, if a mixture of air and fuel is too lean,
abnormal combustion will occur, and engine
seizure may result. If the mixture is too rich,
spark plugs will get wet with oil, thus making it
impossible to bring the engine into full play or if
the worst comes to the worst, the engine may
stall.
9The richness of the air-fuel mixture required for
the engine will vary with atmospheric conditions
of the day and therefore, the settings of the car-
buretor must be properly suited to the atmos-
pheric conditions (air pressure, humidity and
temperature).
9Finally, the rider himself must make a test-run
and check his machine for conditions (pick-up
of engine speed, road surface conditions) and
for the discoloration of the spark plug(s). After
taking these into consideration, he must select
the best possible carburetor settings.
It is advisable to make a note of settings,
atmospheric conditions, road surface condition,
lap-time, etc. so that the memorandum can be
used as a reference useful for future.
EC712000
Atmospheric conditions and carburetor
setting
The reason for the above tendency is that the
richness or leanness of a fuel mixture depends
on the density of the air (i.e. the concentration of
oxygen in it).
