RADIATOR CAP INSPECTION
CAUTION:
Do not mix more than one type of ethyl-
ene glycol antifreeze containing corro-
sion inhibitors for aluminum engine.
Do not use water containing impurities or
oil.
7. Install:
Radiator cap
Start the engine and warm it up for a
several minutes.
8. Check:
Coolant level
Coolant level low → Add coolant. Handling notes of coolant:
The coolant is harmful so it should be han-
dled with special care.
WARNING
When coolant splashes to your eye.
Thoroughly wash your eye with water
and see your doctor.
When coolant splashes to your clothes.
Quickly wash it away with water and
then with soap.
When coolant is swallowed.
Quickly make him vomit and take him
to a doctor.

RADIATOR CAP INSPECTION
1. Inspect:
Seal (radiator cap) 1
Valve and valve seat 2
Crack/damage → Replace.
Exist fur deposits 3 → Clean or
replace.

VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
EC35M021
IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
1. Start the engine and thoroughly warm it
up.
2. Adjust:
Idle speed
Adjustment steps:
Adjust the pilot screw.
Refer to “PILOT SCREW ADJUSTMENT”
section.
Turn the throttle stop screw 1 until the
engine runs at the lowest possible speed.
To increase idle speed →
Turn the throttle stop screw 1 in a.
To decrease idle speed →
Turn the throttle stop screw 1 out b.
Engine idling speed:
1,700 ~ 1,900 r/min
VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
NOTE:
The valve clearance should be adjusted
when the engine is cool to the touch.
The piston must be at Top Dead Center
(T.D.C.) on compression stroke to check or
adjust the valve clearance.
1. Remove:
Seat
Fuel tank
Refer to “SEAT, FUEL TANK AND SIDE
COVERS” section in the CHAPTER 4.
2. Remove:
Carburetor
Refer to “CARBURETOR” section in
the CHAPTER 4.
Spark plug cap
Engine stay (upper)
Cylinder head cover
Refer to “CAMSHAFTS” section in the
CHAPTER 4.
3. Remove:

VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
4. Check:
Valve clearance
Out of specification → Adjust.
Valve clearance (cold):
Intake valve:
0.10 ~ 0.15 mm (0.0039 ~ 0.0059 in)
Exhaust valve:
0.20 ~ 0.25 mm (0.0079 ~ 0.0098 in)
Checking steps:
Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise with
a wrench.
NOTE:
Squeezing the decompressor lever allows
the crankshaft to be turned easily.
Align the T.D.C. mark a on the rotor with
the align mark b on the crankcase cover
when piston is at T.D.C. on compression
stroke.
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.

VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
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 (intake 1 and
exhaust 2).
NOTE:
Attach a wire 3 to the timing chain to pre-
vent it from falling into the crankcase.
Remove the decompression guide 4,
cable 5, bolt 6 and decompression shaft
7.
Remove the valve lifters 8 and the pads
9.
NOTE:
Place a rag in the timing chain space to
prevent pads from falling into the crank-
case.
Identity each valve lifter and pad position
very carefully so that they can be rein-
stalled in their original place.
Select the proper pad using the pad
selecting table.
