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.
GENERAL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Item Routine Page
CoolantCheck that coolant is filled up to the radiator filler cap.
Check the cooling system for leakage.P.3-5 ~ 9
FuelCheck that a fresh gasoline is filled in the fuel tank. Check the
fuel line for leakage.P.1-13 ~ 14
Engine oilCheck that the oil level is correct. Check the crankcase and
frame oil line for leakage.P.3-13 ~ 17

clutch operates smoothly.P.3-9
Throttle grip/HousingCheck that the throttle grip operation and free play are correctly
adjusted. Lubricate the throttle grip and housing, if necessary.P.3-10 ~ 11
Brakes Check the play of front brake and effect of front and rear brake. P.3-24 ~ 30
ChainCheck chain slack and alignment. Check that the chain is lubri-
cated properly.P.3-31 ~ 33
WheelsCheck for excessive wear and tire pressure. Check for loose
spokes and have no excessive play.P.3-41 ~ 42
SteeringCheck that the handlebar can be turned smoothly and have no
excessive play.P.3-42 ~ 43
Front forks and rear shock
absorberCheck that they operate smoothly and there is no oil leakage. P.3-33 ~ 40
Cables (wires)Check that the clutch and throttle cables move smoothly. Check
that they are not caught when the handlebars are turned or
when the front forks travel up and down.—

1. Stand the motorcycle on a level surface.
NOTE:
lWhen checking the oil level make sure that
the motorcycle is upright.
lPlace the motorcycle 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 motorcycle upright.
Then stop the engine and inspect the oil
level.

4. Inspect:
lOil 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.
(For USA and CDN)
CAUTION:
lDo not add any chemical additives.
Engine oil also lubricates the clutch and
additives could cause clutch slippage.
lDo not allow foreign material to enter the
crankcase.
(Except for USA and CDN)
CAUTION:
lDo not add any chemical additives or use
oils with a grade of CD a or higher.
lDo not use oils labeled “ENERGY CON-
SERVING II” b or higher. Engine oil also
lubricates the clutch and additives could
cause clutch slippage.
lDo not allow foreign materials to enter the
crankcase.

lScrew (brake hose holder) 2
ACHTUNG:CAUTION:
After installing the brake hose holders,
make sure the brake hose does not contact
the spring (rear shock absorber). If it does,
correct its twist.
Brake fluid
1. Fill:
lBrake fluid
Until the fluid level reaches “LOWER”
level line a.
WARNING
lUse only the designated quality brake
fluid:
otherwise, the rubber seals may deterio-
rate, causing leakage and poor brake per-
formance.
lRefill with the same type of brake fluid;
mixing fluids may result in a harmful chem-
ical reaction and lead to poor performance.
lBe careful that water does not enter the
master cylinder when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point of the
fluid and may result in vapor lock.
ACHTUNG:CAUTION:
Brake fluid may erode painted surfaces or
plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
