ENGCAMSHAFTS
Fit the timing chain 3 onto both camshaft
sprockets and install the camshafts on the
cylinder head.
NOTE:
The camshafts should be installed onto the
cylinder head so that the exhaust cam
sprocket punch mark c and the intake cam
sprocket punch mark d align with the sur-
face of the cylinder head.
CAUTION:
Do not turn the crankshaft during the
camshaft installation. Damage or
improper valve timing will result.
Install the clips and camshaft caps 4.

Bolt (camshaft cap):
10 Nm (1.0 m  kg, 7.2 ft  lb)
NOTE:
Apply the molybdenum disulfide oil on the
thread of the bolts (camshaft cap) 5.
Tighten the bolts to the specified torque in
two or three steps in the proper tightening
sequence as shown.
CAUTION:
The bolts (camshaft cap) must be tight-
ened evenly, or damage to the cylinder
head, camshaft caps, and camshaft will
result.
2. Install:
Timing chain tensioner
Installation steps:
While pressing the tensioner rod lightly
with fingers, use a thin screwdriver and
wind the tensioner rod up fully clockwise.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
1. Install:
Timing chain guide (front) 1
Dowel pin 2
Cylinder head gasket 3
Cylinder head 4
NOTE:
While pulling up the timing chain, install the
timing chain guide (front) and cylinder head.
New
2. Install:
Plain washer 1
Bolt 2
Installation steps:
CAUTION:
Tighten the cylinder head using the rota-
tion angle procedure to obtain uniform
tightening torque.
Wash the threads and contact surfaces of
the bolts, the contact surfaces of the plain
washers, the contact surface of the cylin-
der head, and the threads of the crank-
case.
Apply the molybdenum disulfide grease on
the threads and contact surfaces of the
bolts and on both contact surfaces of the
plain washers.
Install the plain washers and bolts.
Tighten the bolts to the specified torque in
two or three steps in the proper tightening
sequence as shown.

Remove the bolts.
Again apply the molybdenum disulfide
grease on the threads and contact sur-
faces of the bolts and on both contact sur-
faces of the plain washers.
Retighten the bolts.
NOTE:
Tighten the bolts to the specified torque in
two or three steps in the proper tightening
sequence as shown.

11. After filling, pump the damper assembly 1
slowly up and down more than 10 times to
distribute the fork oil.
12. While protecting the damper assembly 1
with a rag and compressing fully, allow
excessive oil to overflow on the base valve
side.
CAUTION:
Take care not to damage the damper
assembly.
13. Allow the overflowing oil to escape at the
hole a in the damper assembly.
